hello it’s me

Kim of Red Dirt Farm

Hi Y’all, This is my place to share stories and photos from my life in Virginia. In my former life, I was a full-time artist, then life happened in a lot of not good ways and I got off course. I'm working to get back in touch with my creative side. I’m an introvert that prefers to spend quiet time in nature observing and taking photos. On our little farm, we grow flowers from seeds and gather fresh eggs from our sweet chicks. I run a small farm stand and Art Wagon (The Gypsy Dawn) on our property. I also have a mermaid heart that longs to be by the water. Sometimes I share things I cook and make and our trips to the sea. I hope you will say hello. xo Kim

Yes totally random posts today. Last night I received these amazing snail shells and seeds from the Baobab tree, from my friend. She brought them back from a trip to Tanzania, thinking I might enjoy using them in my mixed media art collages. I'm loving them, so is Bee. Nature inspired collage coming on. For now I'm going to place them on my nature altar. Thankful for friends. #friends #mixedmedia #mixedmediacollage #artfromnature #naturealtar

Bee and Boo dog have the rainy day blues. Boo tries to sleep while Bee pretends he is a trampoline. #reddirtfarm #chickens #rainyday

That was some storm yesterday evening. The farm stand tent and displays were destroyed. The farm stand is closed. So that makes today salsa making day. Fortunately we were able to pick so much from the garden before the storm hit. The tomatoes and peppers have been plentiful this year. Counting our blessings. Have a good Monday. #reddirtfarm #farmlife #growyourfood #tomatoesfromthegarden #peppersfromthegarden #jalapenos #habanero #poblanos #hotsalsa #salsa #canning #canningseas #monday

New curtains ironed and hung this week. They are all pulled tight trying to block this crazy heat. The chickens are on strike not laying because of it. Boo dog lays on floor trying to keep cool. Even deer on the side of the road this morning when returning from grocery shopping were too hot to run away. Mom with two young ones. Definately too hot to drink my beer in the biergarten. Hope you are finding some relief in your neck of the woods. #toohotforeverything #newcurtains #hotsummer #summerinvirginia

We've been working on switching some things in our great room. This is our new curtain, which arrived yesterday. I'll be ironing and hanging them today. So excited, it's the little things. My old curtains I made about 15 years ago it was time. Out with the old in with the new. #newcurtains #homedepot #outwiththeoldinwiththenew

Chased a fox away from the back of the henhouse at 6am and then he returned at 7am. It's gonna be one of those days. Meanwhile it has been so hot and dry many of my flowers are dying. I drug the hose and sprinkler out in between chasing the fox. I could hear the flowers sighing a thank you. A butterfly started dancing in the shower I was so mesmerized I didn't capture on video, wish I had. #reddirtfarm #farmlife #cutflowerfarm #growyourownflowers #zinnas #butterfly

Working on some new mixed media pieces that will be available to purchase at Sweet Art Emporium and The Gypsy Dawn Art Wagon. I’m getting plenty of help from little Bee. She will be 4 weeks old on Thursday where has the time gone. #assemblageart #mixedmediaart #sweetartemporium #Thegypsydawnartwagon #gypsydawnwagon #gypsydawnof3wishesstudio #vintagemphemera #vintagepaper

Happiness. Zinnia love. #reddirtfarm #cutflowerfarm #zinnas #gratitude

Geez it’s hot out there. Wonder if the fish would notice if I jumped in. #itshot

Bee is learning how to use my camera. She just met the satellite repair man and dazzled him with all her cuteness. A short video. Have a good Monday. #reddirtfarm #farmlife #chickensof #backyardchickens #canon80d #mondaycutteness
