Welcome, everyone, to Blessings Farm! In my yard stands a huge 200-year-old oak tree. I’m fascinated by its strength, endurance, and deep roots.Trees are prominent in my writing, symbolic of strong characters who believe in the permanence of family. Blessings Farm is located near the beautiful Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas.
