We spent Saturday afternoon at my coworkers hobby farm in Lompoc/Buellton. They invited everyone down for a fun get together that included grilled cheese, pumpkin pie, apple pie, wicked pickles, lemon curd, etc. Aubrey and James have been slowly building up their hobby farm for awhile, and it is so cool! I really admire them for having the guts to leave city life behind and embark on this new journey. Now they make all kinds of homemade products including wildflower honey, pies, farm fresh eggs, applesauce, etc. I've got a jar of wicked pickles (wickles) in the fridge right now!

I am so envious of their rural yet still close to city lifestyle! I've always been a wannabe farm girl, and hopefully someday I can convince my husband to live the semi-rural life with me. I would love to have chickens, goats and a garden. I think I'll leave the bees to them though. Hope you all had a relaxing weekend!
