It’s been some time since I posted my Friday Feel-Good Blog. I’m returning to the writing groove, managing my social media and feel-good blogs. If you follow my posts on my Facebook personal page, you’ll know we now have gates on our farm. It’s surprising how my fictional life becomes my real life. Little did I know when I wrote the following paragraph in Love’s Games that we would need to install gates on our farm.
Quinn stopped his Porsche at the farm gates. He gazed up the lane toward the farmhouse. So much had changed since he had married
Davi and begun his life as the farmer’s husband. To keep paparazzi and overzealous fans off the property, they erected a fence around the farm
including security gates with video surveillance. Davi had balked at the added protection, but Quinn and Jake managed to convince her that the
twins’ safety demanded it after the latest threats made against Hollywood celebrities and their families.
The gate leading to our farmhouse is beautiful and serves a much-needed purpose. It provides peace of mind and security while keeping the outside world outside. Our gates have cameras and intercoms, allowing us to see who is at our gate and letting us speak with them. We are not celebrities keeping the paparazzi off our land, far from it. However, we answer calls at our gates or on our landline daily—people want a tour, a job, or raw milk to purchase. We no longer provide tours because we don’t have the time or the energy. We don’t have job vacancies since our employees don’t quit, and we don’t sell raw milk because it’s illegal to do so.
However, our gates aren’t one hundred percent effective. Not everyone thinks a gate applies to them, especially when they don’t know farms are private property. We are still vigilant. If we keep a gate open when we expect feed deliveries, people will drive in, park their cars and wander around the farm. Walk-ins also occur. Although we appreciate their interest in our farm and the cows and their desire to get that farm feel-good feeling, we cannot have strangers on our property for safety and privacy.
