This week was all about artwork, radishes, and cleaning out yet another shed. Making a display for the girls’ artwork has been on my to-do list for a while now. At the rate they make projects, we definitely needed a place to hang it up. With a giant stack of wood outside and plenty of … Read moreartwork, radishes, and cleaning
This past week has been a lot of rain. From drizzles to downpours, we’ve had it all. Thank goodness for rain suits! We shoveled poop, collected eggs, put in some new fence posts and of course biked…A LOT. We got to see the driveway go from an inch of water to a foot, in a … Read morethank goodness for rain suits
This week was the official Halloween celebration here so we had lots to do to prepare for that. The girls were so excited to finish up their horse costumes and test them out. They also were great helpers in making props for our trunk or treat day at the church. Each family chose a theme, … Read morewhat we did this week 10/27/19
Halloween costumes and fishing were the major highlights of what we did this week. Trick or treat is this next Friday, so we decided it was time to get the girls’ costumes in the works. Big sis decided she wanted to be a horse, so lil sis decided she would be a WILD horse. Don’t … Read morewhat we did this week 10/20/19
In preparation for our first family visit, we finished putting the table together and cleaned up the dining room. We still have more work to do in here (look at those curtains!), but in the mean time, at least we have a real table to eat our meals at. Other than finishing the table, here’s … Read morewhat we did this week 10/13/19
Two major projects completed this week. The gross shed is officially all cleaned out and half full of hay! What a nasty project this was, so thankful its over! When I thought I had just a little more stuff in the loft, it turned into WAY more boxes than I ever thought could be up … Read morewhat we did this week 10/6/19
Another week filled with fun and chores on the farm. We had fun playing with horses and chickens, and a lot of not so fun just plain working our butts off. Our air conditioner decided to give up so we’ve all been hot. The house holds heat really well, which will be nice for winter, … Read morewhat we did this week 9/29/19
I was just looking at the pictures for this week and it feels more like 2 weeks have passed by! Between caring for an injured horse, cleaning up outside and trying to start our garden the time just flew by. The animals required so much extra time this week. Molly finally was able to walk … Read morewhat we did this week 9/22/19
Trying to decide which project to work on next is the hardest part of my life right now. The house still looks like a tornado came through and I can’t even really clean it up until we get the paint on the walls. The barn looks equally as bad and I need to get the … Read morewhat we did this week 9/15/19
We finally had some time this week to work more with the horses. They are trusting us more and not as reluctant to being handled. Snowflake is one of my favorites because he is a gentle walker. He’s a pain to get a halter on, but once it’s on he’s pretty good. The girls think … Read morewhat we did this week 9/8/19
