Write me a story!! \u00a0It can be a story about life on your 300\u00a0acre ranch (lucky you!) or about your garden on your apartment balcony (good for you!). \u00a0You may know what you are doing raising your own food and can teach me some lessons on how to do life on the franch better. \u00a0Or you can make me feel better about our mistakes and tell me how you or your spouse (stories about spouses are definitely funnier!) messed something up on your farm. \u00a0It can be about those moments that make you happy to live a life with farm animals or those moments that make you crazy (don’t worry, we all know it’s the animals<\/i> that make you crazy!). \u00a0I’m curious. \u00a0What’s it like raising your family on a hobby farm? \u00a0Or why did you quit something else to ranch for a living? \u00a0Life isn’t always a bed of roses so you can even tell that story that doesn’t have a good ending. \u00a0It’s life and it’s meant to be shared.<\/p>\n
Please send your story to lifeonthefranch@gmail.com. \u00a0Please\u00a0keep it at around 300 words or less. \u00a0I’m not going to spend time counting the words, but I do have franch chores to get done so, no novels, please. \u00a0If you want to include an image, you can try,\u00a0but please only images with your own camera taken by you (not even by your own mother) since I don’t know yet how to handle copyright issues (and I don’t want your mother coming after me). \u00a0I will read, maybe make some minor edits (my children read mommy’s blog), and write you back to get final permission to publish on franchlife.com. \u00a0I won’t post your full name as author unless you want me to (sometimes it’s nice to be anonymous!).<\/p>\n
I’m excited to\u00a0brew a fresh cup of coffee and sit on our front porch rocking chair (the one my barn cat relaxes on more than me), and laugh at, cry with, and learn from you, my readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
