About Me

My photo
Hello. My name is Wen Hayes. I live in a log cabin in the middle of the sticks. While some gals claim to be "accidental country girls", I take full responsibility for my actions. I knew exactly what I was getting into..well, sort of..when I met and fell in love with my country boy. From the rolling hills of Oklahoma & Arkansas, to the majestic vistas of Montana~~that Mountain Man of mine has moved me across the country seeking the next big hunting & fishing adventure. He has taught me to do things I never thought I would do...from cutting up elk meat to operating power tools & heavy equipment. Projects like reclaiming (a fancy word for tearing down) a 100 yr-old barn in the dead of winter to the biggest project ever~~building our log home. This is all in a day's work around here. That man is everything I never knew I always wanted! So 27 yrs, 4 states, 3 kids, 28,470 meals later (I actually did the math) & countless adventures later~~here I am, living life in a log cabin in the Ozark Mtns.

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW


Those who sow abundantly will reap abundantly. Those who go on summer vacation for 2 months & leave their gardens unattended will reap SPARINGLY. True story.
When we got back from Montana in August, I was terrified to see utter destruction. Seeds and plantlings which were so lovingly cared for back in the Spring were now hidden under foot tall weeds. The promise of a fall harvest looked grim.
Recently while tilling under the death & destruction, much to my surprise, I found mysterious little vines tucked into the grape and raspberry bushes. Here is a picture of my first harvest ever of decorative gourds.
Aren't they just the cutest little things you've ever seen? Each one is unique & no two are exactly alike. Isn't that just like God to create something so simple that brings such joy to some silly little gal like me?!
POINT OF THE STORY: I'm pretty sure that I'm GOD'S FAVORITE.
