Life in Skunk Hollow - A Visual Journal of the Rich Life That God Has Given
About Me
- Julie
- I live in a 100 year old farmhouse in a little valley (affectionately known as Skunk Hollow!) with my husband, three sons, two cows, eighteen chickens, eight goats and a red-tailed hawk in a pine tree! Things that bring me joy: being a child of the King, laughing with my husband, and homeschooling Ben (17), Caleb (15) and Eli (14).
Scripture to Meditate on:
- "But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." -- Acts 20:24

I grew up just over the mountain in Reedsville and used to come to Ag Progress Days as a 4-Her with my dad. I miss it - thanks for posting these beautiful pics!
