Time flies when you’re having fun…
Once again it’s been entirely too long since I’ve sat down to do this. So much has gone on, I’m really not sure where to start. Well, let’s get to it. Fall has come and gone, and winter is officially here now. We have gotten so much done around the farm and yet there still …
One bad day…
It’s a beautiful September day here on the farm. The temperature is perfect, it’s not too hot, but not cold either. Fall is definitely in the air! With fall comes the processing of animals that we’ve raised this year. The first ones we’ll butcher are the cornish cross chickens. Their sole purpose in life is …
I have a problem…
Time sure does fly on the farm especially when you’re busy! I cant believe July is almost over with already! Pretty soon it will be fall! I need to to be honest here….I have a goat problem…as in I keep buying more and more 🤣 I don’t have as many as a lot of folks …
Summertime
School is officially out for the summer (Yay!!) Not that much has changed around here other than not doing schoolwork. Oh and it’s been getting hot, miserably hot. Unfortunately for us, our pool liner broke last year and they are as rare as hens teeth right now thanks to covid 19. Here’s hoping that one …
Chicken Tending
Do you ever have intentions of getting around to doing something but it keeps getting put off again and again? That’s unfortunately what I did with the chicken coop. I’ve had straw for a while now, sitting in front of the coop door to help give me incentive to get it done. Or maybe deep …
Where to start…
Wow it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I didn’t mean to let time get away from me like that. To say we’ve been busy is such an understatement. I’ll guess I’ll just get right to it! Ok so, our good buddy from Missouri came up a couple of weeks back and stayed the weekend with us. …
Spring is here!
I love springtime! I love seeing growth come up on the trees, watching as flowers bloom and the grass growing in nice and green! I don’t know about you, but I am over this whole social distancing stuff. I know, it’s the best thing we can do right now, but I miss visiting with my …
Quarantine day….ah who knows
All over the world people are being quarantined to their homes to help prevent the spread of Covid 19. Our state is on lockdown with only essential businesses open. Our town is like a ghost town and it’s pretty eerie to see everything closed. The kids are home from school for who knows how long, …
Just another day…
As most of the world watches, as coronavirus takes over, we are proceeding with life as normal…somewhat. The kids are all home from school for the next two weeks at least. From there who knows. We’ve heard of some places being out indefinitely. So who knows what’s going to happen. Farmdaddy has been hard at …
Getting closer…
As most know, we’ve been trying to get our seeds started and garden ready for weeks now. It seems as if we have had setback after setback so far. It’s really hard to not get frustrated when you are so close and then having a monkey wrench get thrown in the mix. It’s finally been …
