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.

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
Life was all about playing barbies and planting herbs this week. The barbie house was completed and the barbies were dying to move in to their new house.

“Mom, we’re like Bob the builder!” I heard that on more than one occasion this week. We spent the first half of the week playing bob the builder, building a tv stand.
