11 years without a Valentine, but today? I chose love. ❤️ I picked flowers I grew with my own hands, set up a kissing booth with my farm babies, and reminded myself that love is effort. It doesn’t have to cost more than a card or a box of candy from Dollar Tree. To the person at home wishing someone would show up for you—to the person with no Valentine—let today be your reminder: love starts with you. 🌸 Now, important question… Who ATE in the kissing booth?? 👀 Cricket 🐶, the chickens 🐔, or the alpacas 🦙? Drop your votes below! ⬇️ #ValentinesDay #FluffyButtHutt #FarmLove #SelfLove #KissingBooth #ChickensOfInstagram #RescueDog #AlpacaLove
