Only two things money can't buy:
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes.
-Guy Clark
It's true love and homegrown tomato season over here, big time.
Agh. God is preposterously wild with both His plans and His goodness. For our good and His glory. I'll spend my life trying to understand it all....
Hey you! Hello again. If you missed it yesterday, I'm back. I'm so glad - truly, glad - you stopped by today. I have so much to tell and show you in these many many days (er... years) since we talked last.
First things first: I hope you'll find some grace in your heart to forgive me for my absence.
Second things second: I hope, in the days to come, we'll find we're like the oldest and best of friends in that we hardly miss a beat and take right back up where we left it.
In truth, though, I know we've been through some things in our gap time. Life. Pandemic. Heart things. Hard things. Hopeful things, too, maybe. And I want to hear about it all.
Me? I've been working hard building a life and a home I love - utterly, bewilderingly love - about 10 minutes from Freeman House. Much more on that to come. Last May, I married Matthew (who someone in town dubbed #thehunkyfarmer which is now an Instagram thing). Matthew is an identical twin... an insanely gifted musician/actor... a licensed minister/seminary graduate... and a Behavioral Specialist for people with special needs - Autism, especially. And yes, a country boy who helps me farm... thus the overalls and tomatoes above. (And... heavens. Did you catch those eyes and how they're looking at me? Swooooon.)
Annnyway. We can't wait to share our story with you. It starts way back in 1993 when we were both 14, so we have some ground to cover.
So. Other things coming at you:
-All things gardening
-All things HOME
-Monday Moments
-RECIPES!!
-Frankie and Charlie
-Farm animals
-Honey bees
-... and just every day life.
But most of all, just us. You and me. Friends through a LOT, right?
I missed you. Hello, friend. Thanks for being here. Hang on through the weekend and I'll see you Monday.
-Brin
♥ So happy for your happiness! ♥

I look forward to really 'talking' to you again about life. And, btw, Matthew has the most beautiful blue eyes since Paul Newman.
