Taylors.LifeWell, it’s been a summer of automotive adventures here at Willow and Lily farm. Let’s just say our vehicles decided to stage a bit of a rebellion. The Jetta just hit 120k miles needed a full service, new timing belt, water pump, fuel pump, new springs… you name it. And the Jeep? Oh, the Jeep. Let’s just say the transmission decided to take not one, but two vacations this summer.
Birthday Camping at Holly Bay
Jamie really wanted to go camping for her birthday this year, and Eve had been asking to go all summer, so we decided to make it happen! We packed up the car, rounded up the kids, our furry family members (Summer the dog AND our new kitty, Sweetie!), and headed to Holly Bay campground. And let me tell you, it was exactly the birthday escape Jamie was hoping for!
A Little Spunk & No Tail: Meet Sweetie!
We’re so excited to introduce the newest member of our farm family: Sweetie! This little ball of fluff has brought so much joy already, and we’ve been meaning to share her with you all. Sweetie came to us from our wonderful neighbors, and she’s settled in beautifully. She’s already quite used to farm life, which is fantastic! You might notice something a little different about her though, Sweetie was born without a tail!
Canoeing Kentucky: A Family Adventure on the Creek
Well, it finally happened! We’ve been talking about getting out on the water for ages, and this July we finally made it happen with a fantastic canoeing trip, courtesy of Canoe Kentucky. And honestly? It was even better than we imagined. Getting Started with Canoe Kentucky We’re lucky to have a great connection with our neighbor, Lou, who drives the bus for Canoe Kentucky (CKY). He’s always offering to take us on a tour, and this summer the stars finally aligned.

Homemade Chai Tea
I love tea very much, especially Chai tea. I have tried hard to be a coffee drinker, loving the smell and spending my time in coffee shops. Seems the drink of choice for most people, but I find over and over that I can’t get past it’s strong bitter flavor, not to mention the stomachache that follows shortly behind me finishing a cup. I do drink one cup per week (Saturday morning), but this cup
Airborne Delivery
On June 1st 2012, I skippered the delivery of S/V Airborne from San Diego harbor to the Port of Los Angeles.
Throw Off the Bowlines
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
