Let’s talk about my glamorous morning-my manager (Ana the barn cat) is really breathing down my neck because I didn’t thank her for the employee appreciation gift she left me.

Seems Ana left me half of a mouse in the doorway as a reward for all my hard work at getting her breakfast to her on time. Well I didn’t see this glorious gift until I stepped on it and went sliding towards the barn door.
Thankfully I caught myself before I fell and now I’m being allowed to pet her in between the morning chore of filling water buckets

When we made our fire pit in the front yard I was afraid it would look like you were pulling up to the Clampett’s but we took the chance and I loved it!

This past week we made the fire pit a permenent fixture and gave the previous graveled fire ring a glow up and had it poured with concrete. Perfect upgrade for the fall.

The more and more I dream the more and more we are collecting equipment to make those dreams come true.

To meet the demands of storing tools we are in the process of having a pole barn built by an Amish builder. Yesterday holes were dug and concret poured and building just started today. (Man these fellas are fast workers)

Sorry for the lack of updates and responding to messages we took a week off and enjoyed an Alaskan cruise but we are back and getting back into the swing of life in our little family farm.

I’ll be responding to everyone that messaged us and back to talking about animals way to much

We hired someone to paint our little barn. The gentleman has been out for 3 days and had less than 2 sides painted. He sent Bryan a text that he had an appt today that would be done 8:30 and he would head over-never showed up.

For a family that sticks to their commitments-no call/no shows aren’t something handled well. So after Bryan picked Vinny up from school my fellas went to work and started what I call “anger painting” and took the job on as their own.

Still need to do the trim but our little barn is looking nice

Welcome our newest additions to our little farm! Thank you Mt. Healthy Hatcheries

Our property has an old barn (no idea how old) and on the back of the barn was a room addition and we turned that addition into the chicken coop. A few months ago when a big storm came through and a tree fell on the addition. The damage left holes in the coop when it shifted the foundation and walls. Luckily the fallen tree didn’t hit the barn just the addition so we came up with a plan to take off the no longer safe addition and turn the old barn into the chicken coop. Step one of our extreme chicken coop makeover is adding a concrete floor in the soon to be coop; not only will this make it easy to clean but to protect the ladies from any critter burrowing up to get them. Did I mention this is a much bigger space and I’m already looking at getting more chickens??? Perusing Mt. Healthy Hatcheries website now!

Mama chicken brought her chicks out into the chicken run this morning. She’s busy teaching them to peck and they seem to be liking getting out of the coop. But mama is wstill being very protective to not let the other ladies get to close.

Our elderberry has grown leaps and bounds this year!

On a ridiculously hot day-51 chickens were moved out onto the pasture to spend the next 4 weeks happily pecking around in the shade. Whole chickens will be available for purchase the week of July 15th. If you place a preorder (before 7/14) discounted price of $3.50 lb/ $4.00 a lb after that.

We may have a new barn cat

Frank was enjoying his morning sun bath in the front yard while Bryan and I were in the living room sipping coffee. Frank starts barking-barking a lot. Bryan walks to the door to see what’s going on and looks back over his shoulder and says my least favorite words. Donkeys got out. Thankfully the boys were wonderful and more interested in having breakfast instead of Gus and Danny’s big adventures and followed us up to the barn and are happily enjoying their start to the day and Frank gets a few extra treats.
