There's one thing that's always true on the homestead...
Death is never easy.
Whether you raise livestock for meat, eggs, milk or just have family pets...it's never easy to deal with. Not for me anyway.
Our second litter of dachshunds came late Monday night. Dixie Mae and I were up til 3am bringing those 5 pups into the world. The last little guy was just that...little. Very little.
And yesterday, he decided he just didn't have the strength to go on.
Yes, he was only with us for a day and a half...but it still hurts to lose him.
But today is another day. The sun is out and it's actually warm enough to take a ride on the bikes and do a little painting on the new old coop.
And the circle goes on.

Welcome to Sunflower Girl Farm.
We are a small mountain homestead trying to get back to the basics of natural, healthy food, organic gardening, and being better stewards of the small plot of land we've been blessed with.
Some members of the 'stead include 9 dogs (more on that later!), chickens, and teenagers. I'm Lynn...the Sunflower Girl and my right hand man is Mr. T (by the way, he looks nothing like any TV actor images you may now have in your head!)
Follow our journey as we share our successes as well as our mistakes, learn new skills and recipes, and endure losses and heartaches.
We are real people, with real dreams and real feelings. Around here, what you see is what you get. We love big, eat heartily, laugh loudly, and do it all with a heart for Jesus.
So sit back and enjoy the ride with us.
