NATURE IS A GIFT
Born a farmer’s daughter I am blessed to be a farmer’s wife. My favorite place to be is outside soaking up sunshine, sucking in fresh oxygenated air, and working with animals. When I was in junior high my grandma asked me a question one day when we were in the pasture feeding cows.Â
