Welcome to the Sunny Funny Farm Blog
Heller! My Name is Nancy, and I’d like to welcome you to the blog that sarcasm built. It chronicles the Haphazard Adventures of Three Ladies as they turn their Little Slice of Heaven, into a homestead and farm. This is how it Started!
Gotta’ Love a Dreamer
It started with a dream of three people, who all had totally different reasons for doing this. Momma-Sue (my Mom) just wants some damn peace and quiet. I, (Nancy) who deeply desires a return to a simple farm life, and my wife (Rikkie) who I suspect simply wants to survive whatever chaos that might be coming her way.
The Search for Land
Our Story actually began in April of 2021. After looking at a few properties (one of which should have come with ominous sounding banjo music) we finally found our own little slice of heaven.
Located in Floral City, Florida (don’t that sound purty?) we began our journey of the imagination as to what could be…the dream we would built, and the challenges we would face.
What the Hell were we THINKING. . . ?
You see, we are all ladies of a certain age, by that, I mean OLD. While our ages are just numbers, we do find ourselves waking up each day asking each other and comparing, “what hurts today.” I suspect we will all eventually reach a time when the answer is…EVERTHING, but it’s nothing a little Advil and wine can’t handle. We’ll all put on our big girl panties, roll up our sleeves and do what needs to be done. Then later we will whine, cry and wonder what the hell we were thinking to embark on such a quest at this stage of life. Insert more wine here. Ahhhh…much better!
Within a few days, I will be posting (I hope) the first of MANY videos (as soon as I sober up) as we chronicle our slapdash escapades at farm life. Come along with us as we build what we lovingly refer to as the “Sunny Funny Farm.”
About Us
We are three ladies of a certain age (old) who are leaving the burbs behind, for three TOTALLY different reasons.
Momma-Sue wants peace and quiet, I (Nancy) want to return to a simple farm life, and my wife (Rikkie) simply wants to survive the nutsy-cuckoo that is about to commence. Join us as we build our collective dream (nightmare) that is the Sunny Funny Farm!
What the Future Holds
As we develop our little slice of heaven, you will see a 5 bedroom modular home delivered to the property, fencing erected for the safe keeping of our baby-dog Milo, fruit trees planted in the fall, raised beds built for vegetables, coop erected and chickens adopted in the spring, and beehives put in place when I gather the courage. That should take care of the entire circle of life as we see it: fruits and veggies planted, pollinated and fertilized, eggs and meat galore; honey, wax and herbs for future production of 100% organic and home-grown spa products for gift baskets. What else could you possibly need? (well . . . maybe some band-aids, aspirins, wine, ace bandages, icey-hot, more wine. . .)
This IS how it Started, but follow the ladies during their haphazard adventure to see how it ends, or at least where it goes from here!
