Whenever I leave and get home again, these silly geese (goats) get so excited! I wish I would have recorded from the start. It was like watching a child run through a giant flock of pigeons but with crazy goats pouncing through chickens and ducks. They can get pretty wild when they play!

I REALLY need to finish organizing our food storage room, so I can get all I've preserved this past month put away properly. Our table and counters are being overrun with jars!

It's not what's for dinner, at least not tonight. This amazing mix of smoked ham, rotisserie chicken, and seasoned steak bones and other scraps, along with onions, lettuce, and other veggies, cooked all day and all night to make the most incredible, nutritious bone broth.
It will be [pressure] canned to be shelf stable and added to our family's food storage. I love knowing we have delicious, nutritious food ready to go, especially when its made from the scraps we normally throw away.

This guy cracks me up every time!

Because I take great pride in being a PISD RISE Mentor and absolutely adore my mentee, I love surprising her once or twice a year at school by bringing in a couple newborn goats. We're taking a little break from breeding this year so I didnt have any brand new babies. Instead, I offered my services to other students, teachers, and staff, as well as surprised my mentee, with an entire mobile petting zoo. (Note: Though, to be a successful mentor, all you have to do is show up and show you care.)

My best friend and honorary farmhand Ashley had family in town, so we threw a very impromptu tea party for just us girls. I've been collecting pretty little mismatched China pieces for a few years, and I finally got to fully enjoy them. I've always wanted to host my very own "Big Girl" tea party, and now I have. Although, we did have both my favorite 5 year old and favorite bulldog in attendance as well.
We all had a great time! I love finding fun and things to do for free or cheap! What are some of your low budget entertainment go-to's?

Jars, jars, everywhere jars!!!

I'm a true believer that there are certain skills learned by our parents and grandparents that we still need to pass down to our own children. I love preserving food! It's one of those things that give me instant gratification. I can literally see how my hard work pays off!

Now, about the jars. I love finding great deals on jars, especially in unexpected places. I'm kind of a jar-o-holic. I'm just somehow always running out of them.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I've got experience in several methods of food preservation (water bath canning, pressure canning, dehydration, and freeze drying, to name a few). If you feel intimidated or have any questions about getting started, please let me know! I'll do my best to help you out.

Thanks everyone for continuing to check on us despite the radio silence through all of my crazy health stuff. I'm always surprised when it shows a notification of new likes or followers.
I miss giving tours, and I miss your beautiful faces! I hope to be posting about some of our new little farm friends soon.

Thursday, April 10th, was National Farm Animals Day. To celebrate, I took a couple of our babies on over to Berry Miller Junior High School to surprise my mentee for our weekly visit. She absolutely loved it! She got in some great snuggle time and even learned how to bottle feed the new babies. Several staff members and other passersby also got to enjoy the visit.
I would like to thank all of the kind BMJH staff for welcoming us and allowing the visit. I would also like to give a special thank you to Mandy Peoples Benedix for the amazing PISD RISE Mentoring program. I think I get as much from it as any student does.
(If you have at least 30 minutes of spare time a week, please check it out!)
