Today, it's off to the farm to spend the day working in the garden, cleaning up the annoying grass runners that have taken over the first 1/3 of the garden. Since I've already been on the big green zen machine the other day during the week (after the land closing), the garden will be the next target.
SO while we're at the farm working on things...
Four years ago, I sat down at the computer and started typing. I wondered if anyone would even be interested in watching our progress as we made plans to buy some land with an old house on it? Then, would they come along as we started working on it, not knowing how the journey would progress?
Four years later, here we are.
Some stats:
489 FOLLOWERS (come on 500)
1,850 POSTS (including this one)
15,746 COMMENTS (and counting)
2,451,900 PAGE VIEWS (this one still amazes us)
Fixing things up at the farm is a slow process, some of the time it's successful, and other times, not so much...but that's what we expected when we set out on the journey. We are just grateful that all of you have come along for the journey and keep coming back. It's been a wonderful journey, we've made so many friends we didn't know we could have and we love all of you!
Here's to many more years, hope y'all will stay along for the ride!
The best is yet to come!
We're still not sure the correct spelling of a blog anniversary, LOL!
Blogi? Blogo? Bloga?
Whatever it is, thank you all!
Congrats to both of you. And what a record you have to look back on in the years ahead :)
ReplyDeleteThat's something I think will be really nice 'some day'. ha. Thank you!
DeleteWow - congratulations! What a great blog you have created. Looking forward to many more adventures with y’all!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!!
DeleteFour years....fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt feels much shorter than that, ha. Thank you!
DeleteCongratulations I've enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have been here to see it first hand. Luv ya! Full disclosure, Alison is a very sweet and dear friend of ours and we are forever grateful to have her sharing our life.
DeleteI'm so glad I came across your blog only two weeks ago. I will enjoy all your future posts, I'm sure. Give those kitties a hug for me. Deb
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you much. And the kitties give you purrs back!!
DeleteI think of blogs as having birthdays. Isn't it 4 years ago when your blog was "born"? That might be easier, no alternated spellings, ha. Happy day to you, whatever we call it. :---)
ReplyDeleteI like that, blog birthday would certainly be easier, ha. I'm glad we made it thru the terrible twos lol..
DeleteI've been following your blog for a few months now and I look forward to every post. I congratulate you on your 4 years and can't wait to see what new adventure you will share with us. Here's to continued good fortune and many more blogging / farming posts to enjoy. Ranee from MN
ReplyDeleteI love when we hear from people who pop in to say they've been reading for awhile. Thank you very much! You are too kind.
DeleteHappy birthday to your blog & many more to come!! (Birthdays not blogs!!)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I hear ya! Definitely lets say many more birthdays! And I think I'd run out of time trying to do multiple blogs, ha. thanks!!
DeleteCongrats!! I'm happy I found your blog and enjoy reading every post!
ReplyDeleteYou so very nice. Thank you!!!
DeleteCONGRATS TO YOU BOTH! I am enjoying the ride. There is no hurry, just relax and have fun. That's the most important thing...you have to enjoy it. If it's 'work', you might resent it later on. If I recall, you are only in your 40's, you have plenty of time
ReplyDeleteWow, wise words. OK, I am in my 40's (but not for much longer, ha) and 2nd man has crossed over the threshold of 50 (but just barely). We do have plenty of time though, you are right. That's one battle I've always fought, I just want it all done now but when it becomes hard 'work' that you don't enjoy, that's no fun. Thank you!!
Deleteyou both know how much we appreciate what you are doing and the plans and foresight that you have. we are very glad for both of you and wish you well in all of your "adventures". getting your place set up the way you "want it" takes time...trust me on that one. but with all of your enthusiasm and joy - those jobs become daily chores...and daily chores become time doing exactly what you want, when you want. i am so proud of the both of you. so i'll leave off with a big CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteyour friends,
kymber and jambaloney
We are always glad to see your name in a comment as well. You are just so awesome and so sweet and so kind. We are proud to call you both 'friends'. Thank you and much luv to you!
DeleteLike anon above, my husband and I are enjoying your journey. heres to many more.
ReplyDeletethank you very much and we appreciate you taking the time to comment!
DeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you very very much!
Deletehappy anniversary!!! i really enjoy reading your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the feeling is mutual (well, reading YOUR blog, and anniversary when it comes around,ha). Thank you very much for being a friend.
DeleteCongrats and THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful journey with us. It is nice to connect with people who have the same passion (and I think the same sort of trials and tribulations) with those of us across the miles and the seas. Your blog is the start of my day and I often check in at night as well. Looking forward to the continued journey.
ReplyDeleteMany times, we are just amazed how the internet connects us all in such a good way. It can be used for bad stuff but these are the moments that make it so worthwhile. To know that somewhere on the other side of this beautiful planet, we are part of someone's routine just amazes me. You over there, Dani in South Africa, John in the UK and so many others, it's just so neat to see all of us sharing. Thank you!!
DeleteHappy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, as always!
DeleteCongratulations! All of the visits are because this is such a special place, of knowledge and friendship and hope for the future. (and gardens!) Well done!
