When you have plans to do stuff and they go out the window because you found a great deal and you just go. We got two stall doors, two 12 foot sections with sliding doors and a wall divider. We found them on marketplace and will be using them in the fall to build two more stalls in the barn. The seller had to use a tractor to put the 12 foot sections on our trailer because it was just too heavy to lift. We drove an hour to get there and took a lot longer to get home due to how heavy the load was. We will put it aside for fall, now to continue with the other things on the list. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Iโ€™ve been working so much and just overwhelmed because I havenโ€™t been able to help my husband on the farm as much. This little butterfly came to visit me today and fly around me for about five minutes. Instantly it made me stop and appreciate my life and be grateful for what we have. ๐Ÿฆ‹

Miss Darla arrived and caused a bit of chaos on the farm. Everyone was happy to meet her and some of the horses remember her from other farms they were at. Sheโ€™s settled in nicely and seems to be out happily eating grass and enjoying life. Our daughterโ€™s horse Brownie is smitten with her, will see how she settles in and who her paddock mates will be. Welcome to the farm miss Darla ๐Ÿ’—

Another busy week, the temperature has not been giving us a break, the sporadic rain fall has been helping to cool things off a bit or makes things incredibly humid ๐Ÿฅต weโ€™ve been trying to stay cool by giving alot of hose baths and giving popsicles to the animals with veggies or fruit as an extra way to cool off. ๐ŸงŠ

We did another farm tour and everyone enjoyed popsicles after. We really enjoy the farm tours and explaining the history of our farm, showing people the different animals and explaining their upkeep. Funny note most people are shocked that we both work full time and we work the farm, constantly fixing stuff up and do the farm tours on top of having a family. We wouldnโ€™t do it if we didnโ€™t love it ๐Ÿ’—

I do have to say my hubby was right, he bought a big tub of electrolytes and I thought it would last us at least until next year. However with this many horses itโ€™s completely done. So sent him back to the store and he bought another tub to hopefully last us until the end of the summer ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ.

Try to stay cool and have a good week! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ

Tragedy struck the farm this week. Farming is not easy, we love our life and what we do. Itโ€™s the loss of beloved animals that make this a hard life. This week our 14 year old dog that had three legs passed in his sleep. He was my shadow and my everything. Yesterday while I was at work, my husband, two vets and two vet techs tried to save our mini pony timbit. She was having a breech birth and the baby was too big to come out. They worked for four hours to save the baby and timbit. At the end they could not and timbit had to be humanely euthanized. She is buried on the property next to her friend moose the sheep. Please hug your fur babies and understand why we may continue to be quiet while we grieve the loss of our beloved animals. ๐Ÿ˜ž

We went out of town for a wedding and our daughter and her boyfriend ran the farm for the week. It was amazing to have the week off. We are definitely glad to be back, we missed the farm and our kids while we were gone. Now if we could have less rain so we can cut the grass, life would be great! โ˜”๏ธ๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ

Our first of many school tours ๐Ÿ’— we took two groups of home schoolers and did an hour tour of the farm and let them meet all the animals and give them treats. We explained the work each animal takes and what they eat and functions of the farm. The families were super friendly and we got asked a ton of questions! It was a great day with our volunteer Miss H helping as a fantastic tour guide! I need a nap ๐Ÿ˜ด now lol but chores need to be done! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ’—

Itโ€™s been a busy weekโ€ฆ but in our life when isnโ€™t it? We got two new horses that are now boarding with us. Their names are Maverick and Goose. They have adjusted quite well and are a happy new addition to the farm ๐Ÿ’— Our baby piglet Hedwig is doing very well and thriving ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿฝ our oldest child turned 19 ๐Ÿ˜… we got a bin to get rid of a bunch of garbage, we will be getting another one in a month or soโ€ฆ it feels so good to clean up junk. We got the patio furniture out while enjoying the nice weather. We cleaned up some of the muddy areas with wood chips. And lastly we got two female fainting goats and their names are Baileys and Cream ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’— will next week be quieter, tell me what you think? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ๐Ÿท๐Ÿด๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Spring is hereโ€ฆ we have put the hoses back out to the water buckets for the horses. It makes the chores go by a lot quicker. We are getting a load of wood chips daily from a local tree company. We are using it to spread around the farm to soak up the mud. We are still getting loop loads which is free groceries that have expired or are going bad. Itโ€™s brought a lot of happiness to the farm with the rising cost of everything plus the animals love all the yummy types of food. We started making our list of spring chores and things we need accomplished during the nicer weather. Stay tuned for updates and changes that are going to be coming. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒท
