Farm life in the heat! Join me as I spray 7 miles of fence line with a 300 gallon spray rig behind my Honda Pioneer. Real talk about tractor rescues, lessons learned, and ending the day with a peach.

There’s something about lemon desserts that just feel like sunshine. On a sweltering Alabama afternoon—after a day of tending calves, hauling hay, or just chasing down loads of muddy laundry—I want a sweet treat that doesn’t ask too much of me. That’s where these Lemon Icebox Cookies come in.

For a couple of years now, I’ve been dreaming about planting pumpkins on their very own arbor. You know the kind—vines weaving up and over in every direction, jack-o’-lanterns dangling like ornaments, sugar pumpkins nestled under the leaves, and spooky pumpkins creeping in just in time for Halloween. But between hay season and farm life, that idea never made it past the dreaming stage.
