Feeling our way through another week.....

On the same adventure when we picked up the puppy we also stopped at a farm for some chicks.  We hope all of our chicken clean up the yard by eating all the bugs, most importantly the ticks.

Here's a girl I found passed out in the feed.  Guess she had a rough night !! There's a few of us who can relate to this happening after a night of parting !!  What happens in our 20's stays in our 20's.

This is what the chick above will look like when she's grown

This is what the other ones will  look like.

This is Junior, I didn't want to name him but the kids did.  He's an Orphan cow from a farmer in Hopkinsville.  He has never been fed corn, yippy.  We are bottle feeding him to help him get a good start.  Now the question is how do I possibly allow him to be put in the freezer.  Tom will be eating the meat we get from our farm, me not so much !!  I'll stay a Vegetarian for the time being.  

Projects are mounting every day.  I have so many remodeling projects rolling around in my head my head feels like a bowling alley or a pinball machine. There are days when I ask myself when I thought all this work was going to be a good idea.  Then I have to look at the end result which will be a place where I know what's in my food.  I don't have to rely on a grocery store or a Costco for supplies. 

  

We'll find a way to get it all done.  We always do.  I am exhausted but having a great time knowing someday this place will be what we envision.  I miss our friends immensely but hope that we'll be making some new friends here to share this experience with.

Summer Fun with Kids...

The grand kids came to visit and had a blast.  Their mom came along too but had to work via the internet so her days were spent inside mostly.  The kids helped feed the animals and clean up after them.  A new experience for all of us city people !!

We went on an adventure one day after finding a puppy we liked to be a guard dogs to the animals.  Once we met him we knew he was the one.  The kids named him Bear because he looks like a Bear.  I would have rather had a different name but kids come first.  He's a Great Pyrenees and at 30 lbs aged 11 weeks he'll be a big boy.  His Dad was over 100 lbs.  

Bear likes the garden, maybe too much.  

A little ride around the property for Grandpa and kids.
