thankful all year long

The holiday season is upon us. Thanksgiving was incredible this year, despite our family gathering being postponed to the weekend in order to include many important members (my dad and sister). This left us Thanksgiving day itself to visit Jonathan's family, and for the first time ever we enjoyed a holiday united as one. My mom and cousin Billy rode in with us, Dad and Wanda came over later in the evening for dinner, and Amy and Deacon stopped by as well. It really meant a  lot to us to have all of our family in one place on a holiday. We love you all so very much. I couldn't thank Mike and Penny enough for having us all. 









 


I have been just awful at keeping up with the social media world as of late, time and energy being devoted instead to real life relationships and activities. This is all well and good, but I do miss sharing. And speaking of sharing- I feel that I have failed to share anything truly personal and meaningful in quite some time. I want this to be a place that displays my life, creativity, and struggles, but also my beliefs and views now and then, when it's appropriate. This is especially true in the area of farming and eating, with us paying such true attention to our diets now a days, and enjoying the knowledge of eating local food (meats in particular). That is for another time, but I do plan to get on it soon!

Until next time,
Angela Kelly

Justin and Savannah's Wedding - The Reception

The ceremony was simple and sweet, and the reception was the perfect party. A band on the porch, delicious food and drinks, cake and dancing. It was an epic night for everyone involved.   Until next time, Angela Kelly

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

the dogs of luna acres - always ready to go

Our little farm is quite over run with animals, although most of them not the working farm type. The three dogs take turns guarding the place and sleeping on the couch. They all have their flaws and strengths, but not one of them what most would consider "well trained". We love them all the same, we know it our own fault for not working harder for them. We are blessed with space for them to run relatively free on their own. The yard this time of year is littered with deer legs and bones, the occasional head or spinal cord. It's a good life for these dogs.  Trilli and Dakota ready to go Dakota eating the snow Bandit, the oldest pup, is still always ready for a walk, even if he doesn't make it all the way there the view this afternoon  It's funny, even with all the freedom, they are always ready to go for a walk.
