From The Farm Blog Hop & I’m Officially an Empty Nester

It’s time for another round of From The Farm where we love to see your ideas on how to garden, homestead, or any DIY tips and tricks. It’s so good to see all of you this week! I took a break last week from the From The Farm Blog Hop to celebrate my son’s high school graduation weekend and between the time I last wrote to ya’ll on this hop he has graduated and been dropped off at college for the summer. Wow it all went by so fast it was almost surreal and I’m officially an empty nester…who knew it would all go by in the blink of an eye…so don’t blink all you Mom’s of the little ones I’m not even joking. I got through the emotional highs and lows okay but I am taking things day by day I am not used to this yet. The Viking and I are busy though this heat wave is ridiculous in North Carolina and my car air conditioning broke again so lots going on! Thanks for stopping by my page to link up!
