Unsupervised trip to the feed store at the tail end of chick season can only mean one thing 🤪 3 rhode island reds and 3 barred rocks to add to the flock!

What an amazing spring so far! Greenhouse is producing the hugest plants ever, outside pond is producing its first lily flowers of the year, and we have fruit on all the trees! Pictured is a cherry tree, but the apples, pears, nectarines, cherries and plums are all bearing fruit!

We had a fantastic mounted archery practice yesterday! Perfect weather, we even had the goat w**d eating crew helping out first thing! They’re cute but they’re not very good at their jobs 😜 All the horses were very well behaved and all the humans shot quite well! We’ll do it again on June 11! Thank you Bonnie MacCurdy and Leah Earle for coming out and playing 😁

Hyacinths decided to say hello today!

Wowza!
Check out that hibiscus! It’s an inside plant this year, might migrate to an outside one this summer, but I’m loving this bloom!

Seems like spring has finally arrived, it was downright hot today! Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did. Greenhouse is finally ready to have soil prepped for planting. And an iris bloomed today in my inside pond, absolutely gorgeous!

Winter can’t make up its mind if it’s done or not, but I’m ready to get riding any way! Archery practice dates coming up soon, can’t wait to see everyone again!

Hi folks! We have had a heck of a winter so I'm sure everyone wants to get out riding and shooting. We're going to open the season on April 8th at 10am. It might not be as warm as it is normally this time of year so watch the weather and dress appropriately. Let's get this party started!

W**d pulling season overlaps with snow shoveling season when you have a greenhouse 🤪

29 and snowing outside, 50ish inside. Progress is being made! And the greenhouse pond is thriving, check out all those lotus leaves!

Tis the season for greenhouse prep! We did a terrible job of winterizing (as in: we did not winterize at all. Water still on, swamp cooler wide open, did not winterize at all.) but we got spectacularly lucky, or it was built by a master, and it’s still standing with no frozen pipes!

We’ve been boing some cleanup with some big projects to come, but for today I added 17 lotus to the 10ish lily pads in the mini pond! Should be a magical place once everything comes to life!
