I live in a rural area, our property is completely fenced with an automatic gate in the front and a fence and gate that separates my property from my moms in the back. I have an Akita and I rarely have anyone coming over so he gets a lot of free reign to roam the property.
I have been completely flabbergasted however, at how some people think it's okay to just barge in on people. I've had a person unhook the automatic gate so he could come in (I've since fixed that and put a lock on it) and had another go to my moms house and then walk thru back gate to get to my house.
Each time this happens I've been lucky my dog has not been outside. These same people also made note of how big my dog is and I'm like ya, you're lucky he wasn't outside, otherwise he would have done his job and probably held you hostage until I came out to relieve him. It's not smart to enter private property that is obviously set up to keep uninvited people out.
So.....
I made a 2A sign, using some thin metal and rope. Airbrushed. I first made one for myself to see how I liked it, and used my Akita as a silhouette. I learned quite a bit but got a request to make one. I got the breed of her dog and did a silhouette of her dog instead of mine, changed the lettering and made it a little bigger. I like how I designed her sign better than mine.
Rowdy wanted to play and Ronin was too busy sniffing and peeing on everything....
Not sure I want to share on fb. Lots of changes happening, some things in limbo. Been a roller coaster for a few weeks now.
Today was a magical day in the pasture! Rowdy was having the time of her life doing zoomies. Watching her race around, and tail flying, was pure joy.
Seeing her play reminds us of the simple pleasures in life. If you need a smile today, just picture her galloping, full of energy and spirit. 💖
Hi, I just rewrote my about page. Wrote it last week and lost it. 🙄

I'm looking forward to playing around in this space and getting to know you.
This is something I posted on FB and TikTok too. TikTok gave me a strike and I had to delete the post.
Used to be popes, kings, and mobs.
Now it’s bots, vague review teams, and a TOS longer than the Bible.
Got a strike for talking about pills. Not glamorizing. Not selling.
Just being real.
But apparently, real gets flagged.
Now, if I’d danced to a trending sound while doing lines and captioned it “Just girly things" ... probably would’ve gotten a brand deal.
But sit still and tell the truth? Censorship.
Shadowbanned.
Muted.
The system doesn’t hate danger.
It hates honesty that doesn’t entertain.
And I’m not here to make you comfortable.
I’m here to say what they hope stays quiet.
We are so conditioned not to see. We fill in blanks with familiar stories instead of confronting uncomfortable truths.

Yesterday I shot a stunner tucked away in the pines of Flagstaff... and OMG, this house? Straight up swoon worthy. 😍
From the warm modern exterior to the sky-high ceilings and that dreamy chef’s kitchen, it’s giving elegance meets forest sanctuary.
Scroll-stopping views out every window and a layout that flows like a mountain breeze.
Flagstaff, you really showed off with this one.
