Big roost went from farm to plate. That darn rooster has been a never-ending issue for them on our farm for longer than I’d like to admit. We tried everything from pinning it down into submission, beating it with sticks, holding him upside down….nothing worked. All the fixes worked temporarily, but sooner or later he … Read morebig roost went from farm to plate
Rain, rain, go away! We have had nothing but rainy days and more chicks. The weather has been chilly, which means we have been in the house more than I’d like, and the chicks have been inside longer than I was hoping for. The girls have been doing a ton of baking. Apple cobbler, cookies, … Read morerainy days and more chicks
Chicks, chicks and more chicks! New chicks, old chicks, and a toad. It’s a good thing chickens don’t eat toads, because then we’d only have chicks. At the first sign of a pip, the girls were both intently watching the incubator. I thought this wouldn’t be as exciting since they had just seen it 3 … Read morenew chicks, old chicks, and a toad
This week was all about Easter fun and a new mud kitchen. The eggs had to be colored first. The girls wanted to make sure they had at least one egg of each color. Then they stated the dip dying and really making a mess. After each egg was died once, they went back for … Read moreEaster fun and a new mud kitchen
This week was all about gardening, art, and garden art. Staying at home is starting to make me appreciate our weekly trips to the grocery store that much more. If nothing else, they were a time to get out of the house. Now, we have to get out of the house by going….to the back … Read moregardening, art, and garden art
The baby chicks hatched this weekend and I still can’t get over these adorable little fluff butts. With that said, I’ll just go ahead and apologize now for the mass amount of pictures about to come. Between the girls oohing and ahhing and my own amazement with them hatching, I just couldn’t stop taking pictures. … Read moreadorable little fluff butts
At our house, spring showers bring new mailboxes. Yes, they bring flowers and bright green grass and lots of weeds too, but the new mailbox was the biggest improvement for this week. All the rain makes it hard to get anything done outside. When we get a few sunny afternoons, or even a few days … Read morespring showers bring new mailboxes
Happy birthday to Chex! When we picked Chex up from being neutered, I had one question for the vet, “How old is this dog?.” He responded that he was right about a year old. Before we could even get to the truck, big sis said “mama, if Chex is 1, then he needs a birthday … Read morehappy birthday to Chex
Between a toilet leak and yet another chicken attack, this week turned out to be a rough one. Thanks to box bus wrecks and giant peanuts there was still plenty of laughs to be had…by me at least. The toilet has been on the to do list for a while, but soaking wet carpet was … Read morebox bus wrecks and giant peanuts
It’s starting to feel like spring around here. The weather has been much warmer this week, which means we’ve been super busy outside. The weeds are already starting to grow and I need to get on the back patch before I can’t anymore! The grass is also starting to turn green and the birds are … Read morestarting to feel like spring
