Welcome! I’m Shelly, the slightly Feral human behind the keyboard.

At Feral and Floral, we explore the journey of grief healing intertwined with the beauty of farm life. Join me as I share insights on nurturing my flower garden.

This blog is a safe space for anyone seeking solace and inspiration sprinkled with laughter and a little (okay, it may be a lot) of snark. Here, we celebrate personal growth, the healing power of nature, and the unconditional love of pets — big and small. We’ll touch on grief, its impact, and ways to heal and be gentle with ourselves. We’ll also share tips, tricks and some fun(ny) DIYs.

I hope you will be a part of this community and find comfort, inspiration, and a sense of belonging as we walk (and sometimes run with scissors!) through life.

I’m excited that you’re here!

First Things First…

Are you ready to experience a life full of happiness and joy? Yes? Same here. I hope you will share with me your insights as I share mine. Join me on my adventure of living this “second-half” of life!

Meet some of the Fam!

Love always wins!

To our left, we have Momma Fina and her beautiful newborn, Sammy. My fur-child, Paisley, is on the right. She keeps me putting one foot in front of the other.

Farm Life!

Ready for some fun? You’re in the right place.

A little about me: I like long walks on the beach, oh wait, wrong type of profile page! While I DO like walks on the beach, I also love reading and writing. I’m more of a homebody and I enjoy a lot of the simple things life has to offer. Never thought I would say I enjoy watching the birds and the squirrels, but here we are…

I love pie. And cake. and cream soups and crackers.

In my secret heart of hearts, I someday want to write a novel. Maybe that day will be today.

My Top loves include:

My furchild, Paisley.

Beautiful gardens, and indoor flowers and plants that survive my ombre green/brown thumb.

My family. Both by blood and my chosen one. They make it all worth marching on.
