Living in Arrington, Tennnessee



Arrington was the best-kept secret location. However, since Arrington Vineyard’s arrival, people are beginning to feel a pull to Arrington. Stillwater golf course community, King’s Chapel and Blackhawk are a few upscale subdivisions to settle in Arrington. With rolling hills and sweeping vistas, convenient country living can be found in Arrington.

Arrington is centrally located between Nolensville, Murfreesboro and Franklin. Perhaps you feel like dining at the newly famous Martin’s barbeque in Nolensville? Travel to Five Senses or B’McNeels for fine dining in Murfreesboro. Enjoy downtown Franklin’s festivities. Downtown Nashville is just a 40-minute commute. Living in Arrington will make it possible for you to enjoy all that Nashville has to offer . . . if you actually decide to venture away from home, because some of the neighbors prefer quiet evenings on the back porch, watching deer, horses, cows and wild turkey.

If you are a horse enthusiast, two fine equestrian facilities are located in Arrington: Chasing a Muse Dressage Farm and Tammy Crawford’s Travelers Rest dressage training stable. Also in Arrington are Bonnie’s Barnyard, Tractor Supply and Arrington Feed.

Living in Arrington is a different lifestyle. Here are some of my favorite Arrington images:

A southern gentlemen driving his beat-up Ford truck with his golden lab in the back of the pickup, baby cows calling for their momma, wild turkey scattering, Leonard Creek and fresh snow on rocks, fog rolling over the hills, rain and rainbows, hearing birds, Sunday drives through the fields in a Gator, waving at your neighbor and talking over the fence, fresh vegetables from the garden, a sign that says “honk for tomatoes,” picnics at the vineyard and neighbors that feel more like family than acquaintances.

Life in the Country


Sometimes when you live in the country and are surrounded by animals, tragic things can happen. No, I am not talking about T-baby killing a mole today. This story is much worse - but it has a happy ending. Meet Puddin Pop! She lost her mom to vultures after she was born. So, I am now a foster mom to Puddin Pop. She is 2 days old.

She has one black eye . . . mmm yummy milk powder mixed with warm water. I stand this way so she will not push me over to get the milk. Plus, I can support her head.

How will I stand this way when she gets bigger? I will keep you updated . . . This is my first time feeding a baby calf!
