Why won't you play with me!?
Sage (dog) just wants her friend back. Although Mr. Wool (rabbit) is on the road to recovery, he is not completely healed. He still needs a little more time to work up his energy and Sage is very impatient. 🥰

I have been working hard between rain storms to build/create a more interactive outdoor play and learning environment for my farm-based preschool program kids. I'm loving the new spaces and have seen them play with more imagination/enthusiasm than before!

My first wood burning tool craft !!
Made some cute garden stakes I designed in canva.
It's addicting, this little tool 😂

It was nice to finally get some sun this week, I was starting to feel the storm cloud's effects on my mental emotional well-being. But in the last 2 weeks I was able to get a few preschool playground projects done. I will post the completed projects this weekend. Stay safe, keep moving forward friends! ♥️ Marla

I rescued 3 new Angora rabbits last night. It was an unfortunate situation where the owners had lost their home and were living at an RV and could no longer appropriately take care of them and knew well enough that they needed to be rehomed.

And I know they had a lot going on but these things were in worse shape than I was expecting. You can't tell in the photos. But they're so overgrown and the bottom of them is like a solid matt armor full of urine and p**p. 🥺 And I have never seen a rabbit in person whose nails were so long.

But we will work one by one to get them cleaned up and taken care of! They are beautiful creatures and will be well loved.

Farming for 10yrs in my backyard!
Seen a lot of death but experienced more life from chicks, kits to Angora kids. May 2025 be a year of many firsts from the city stead from spinning fiber, Nigerian dwarf kids, milk collection, cheese making and selling products!
Lots of love everyone!
May the next 365 days bring you countless reasons to smile.... Happy new year 🎊

TELL ME YOUR GO-TO BOOKS ON THIS SUBJECT......

When looking through my library of 200 + homesteading, gardening and cooking books, I realized I didn't have any on processing all your animals or specifically on preserving their meat. Almost all of them touch on dispatching and some canning however I'm going to need to know how to preserve the meat. I'm also going to need extensive detail on butchering and cutting up the meat.

Learning as I go and just winging it lol.
Building goat stalls in the shed; completing conversion from shed to a goat barn.

I'm glad I have such a good loving dog. Although she is always sweet, she is still a puppy and loves to play so I'd never leave her alone with the smaller animals.

But aren't they cute together!💚🩵

I'm so ready to finally have a permanent place for my chickens!!
I could move them over now while I finish the rest but do I really want to have to work around the p**p🧐🤣

20/08/2024

Well, a lot of projects going on over here and I'll share each one as I finish them but for now.….
But first🤭, my very first gate build 98% complete. Just need to install the handle and locking mechanism. It's cheaper to buy silver hardware but I had some spray paint left over from another project so, I still got the black hardware I wanted.
Aside from the hardware this gate was built from scraps!!

This gate goes to the new chicken run, which is currently being fenced in and also another first for me, building fences!

What do you think?

I have so many things left to do but I am chipping away. Moving this thing by myself so much trying to figure out the best spot for it has caused a gap between the floor and the sidewall but I can't seem to get back down. So I will just have to wrap it with weatherproofing tape before painting.

I have new permanent water and feeder coming. I will need to brace the outer wall with wood bracing to hold the water and feeder and nest boxes before installing them.

I intend to paint the chicken coop classic black and white. I am waiting on an automatic solar coop door & solar exhaust fans as this double corrugated plastic shed house gets really hot.

I plan to brick in the wood pallet for an aesthetically pleasing little porch, simply to make my heart Happy. I have cute artwork and vintage solar lights that I'm waiting to put up when everything else is finished. I absolutely cannot wait.

And I am keeping my eye open for some small windows that I can place in here for the summer time.

Due to living in a neighborhood in which none of this privacy fencing belongs to our property and recent tornadoes have taken down some of that fencing temporarily, I am putting up my own permanent fencing so that if that happens again my animals will still be safe.

This is just what I still have left for the chicken coop and run lmbo🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ then I will be proceeding to the rabbit pen and playard and then on to the goats. All while working on the children's playground equipment as well. I need the no rain season of The Summer but I need the cool air of the 🍂 fall 🤗🤗
