The pictures say it all!
We watched him and took the pictures from our front porch. These were taken over a month ago but we saw it and a younger one that hadn’t matured with the white feathering last week. We also had a golden eagle here most of the winter.
I'm a country girl from the western part of Virginia in a small community of New Castle/Craig County. I've lived in Craig all my life-eighteen years with my parents and siblings and forty + years with my wonderful husband.
We have two children, a boy and a girl, and two grandchildren, all of which we love very much. We live on a 500 acre+ farm that has been in my husbands family for over 200 years. We are raising beef cattle, chickens, rabbits and a couple dogs.. We grow pretty much all we eat or harvest from the farm and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I love to create, craft, quilt, read, write, decorate, crochet, candlewick, bake, bow hunt, cook, garden, farm animals and walking/hunting in the woods. I love sharing our home with family and friends.
I hope you enjoy the posts that I enter on my blog and hopefully will be helpful and/or fun to all that read it.

A little mix of DIY, fashion, & motherhood.
This site is about my life as a farmgirl, wife, mother and grandmother and the things I love to do. I've been married to the same man that I love for 40+ years. We have two beautiful adult children and one granddaughter. We pretty much live off of our farm by raising our food or hunting for it. My blog is a day to day walk-through of our life.

I have yet to see one of these in real life. Well, OK, I did see one in a bird show once, but that doesn’t count. Lucky you, and well done on the photographs too!

We have had a pair staying here at the farm year round for about 6-7 years and I had never seen them in nature before we came here. They’re magnificient and we watch them very carefully because they could easily carry off a baby calf but so far there’s enough small animals and deer for them to stay alive. They have swooped a little close to the chickens a couple time but the chickens have become weary and two roosters help watch over the hens.

A baby calf?!? Wow! I am excited to know more about what you are doing, and if I may, how old you are? We have 25 acres we bought two years ago, and now are uncertain about actually living there. Over half of it is woods, the other half pasture and a very old house. Are we to old? I know, like you have a crystal ball… lol! Anyway, for comparison, I am 63. 🙂

I’m 62 and we live in a 200 year old house that we’ve worked on since we moved in. Lots of work on a farm but if I can do it I’m sure you can.

You’re so welcome. I feel so blessed to watch them here and they are magnificient. We have a pair of golden eagles here in the valley too but I’ve not been lucky enough to have the camera with me when I’ve seen them.
