Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country at some point, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few. In 1994, when I was 26, I sold my little bakery cafe, packed up 200 boxes of books & antiques, & waved goodbye to my native California. Armed with a very basic knowledge of gardening, an overenthusiastic sense of adventure, & lots of naivete, I ended up on a 280-acre, 140-year-old farm in the middle of nowhere. I became cook, gardener, shepherd, farmhand, vet, surrogate mom, wildlife expert, sheep midwife & animal undertaker. My prep school education & graphic design background were useless. I went from attending restaurant openings & gallery receptions to working the rural fire dept's BBQ booth at the crafts fair & munching fried pies at country auctions. Nine years ago I moved to an even more remote 240-acre farm which I share with sheep, chickens, 4 dogs, 9 cats, 5 very entertaining donkeys, & one really well fed farmguy. My life revolves around food.

Beautiful! I wish I was a morning person, lol. I catch more sunsets than sunrises, unfortunately.
This is such a lovely photo. I enjoy all of your photos and your stories, but this one seems like the perfect counterpoint to the national sadness of this week. Thx.
This is gorgeous.
nice to see the sun when it's so dark and rainy here.
We can ask questions???!!!! I didn't know this.
gorgeous! What kind of camera do you use?
That's a magnificent picture; really mind-blowing!
I love to see the sun rise. Here, where I live, the sun takes a certain time to come out from behind my beloved mountain (Salève)and it's always a fulfilling experience...
Beautiful photo. Our sun rises "late" because of the tall redwood trees. By the time we see it all the peachy glow is gone. We have great sunsets though!
on such grey day in south of france this photo really brings so much sunshine... miss the farm the the cuddly clan
