Well, that was fun?!? I’ve never had poison ivy in my life. It hasn’t been from a lack of trying. I honestly believed I wasn’t allergic to it. One of the first lessons the farm taught me is I AM allergic to it. [scratch, itch, scratch] #DeanoFarms

Suter Falls and Horsepound Falls – Collins West Trailhead – Savage Gulf SNA
We spent 4 days in Savage Gulf State Natural Area and my favorite day was when we hiked up to Suter Falls and Horespound Falls.

Our Farm Is Flooding – Water Management Needs (DeanoFarms Week 2)
Fine, I’m being dramatic (clickbait). It was really only raining. But I was excited to walk around the building to see where my water problems were located. I was able to confirm we do have water problems. Then the hot water heater started leaking and really flooded things (the building, not the farm). So, maybe …

Our First Time Mowing Our Farm (Or Any Farm?!?) – DeanoFarms – Week 2
I joke with people that we bought a farm just to mow…because mowing in TN heat is fun?!? We’ve never mowed anything bigger than our yard until now. I read all my tractor and implement manuals. We got the tractor set up for our first time and tested everything. Then we set off to mow …

Meeting My Clash Of Clans / YouTube Friend After 6 Years
STRANGER DANGER?!? I was told not to meet people from internet chat windows in real life because they might try to hurt me. This one turned out to be a really cool dude, however.
