Oh, it's the little things...

No other month sees us wearing our big, black rubber boots more often than October. The daily rain makes the grass soggy at best, or a slippery, muddy mess at worst. We slip our boots on and off several times a day. Kevin made us this boot remover with some leftover bits if wood. Makes it so much easier!! Even after four years of living as farmers, there's always more to learn, and always room for improvement. So grateful. Thanks, Kevin!

Although it's wet here, we have nothing to complain about. With hurricane Nicole ferociously smacking the island of Bermuda on one side... and a typhoon hitting the west coast of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon on the other, we've been thinking of our dear family and friends who have been affected by these severe weather systems this week. Stay safe... and may I suggest buying some big, black rubber boots. They do come in handy!

At least I have met one genius in my life and his name is Kevin.

Just to be clear... yes, Kevin IS a genius when it comes to creating and building useful tools, etc. BUT, this is not an original "Kevin idea". These boot remover gadgets have been around for years. I was 15 when I saw one for the first time while living on a farm for the summer. And Kevin says they're pretty popular back in England, too. So as much as he appreciates all the accolades, this time he was just copying a good idea for our own use. Doesn't make him any less brilliant in my eyes.

    Dave and Krista are a couple from the Pacific Northwest that led overwhelmingly busy lives. 
    As her son Hayden was graduating high school, and daughter Korynn wrapping up college, they realized it was time to slow down. Life was going far too fast . They wanted to take the time to enjoy stress free living with their eight year old son Quinn.
    Having visited Hush Valley Lodge as guests in January of 2016, they decided this would be the exact change they needed.
    In the pursuit of happiness, they partnered with Jo, Peter, Molly, Gary and Dan to make this dream a reality, and are currently the stewards of the magic that is Hush Valley Lodge.
