Sadness is…

October 30, 2014October 30, 2014 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

... going out to feed everybody, and finding one of the turkeys died in the night. It's doubly sad because that was the one for Thanksgiving dinner!  I have no idea what happened to it. It seemed perfectly healthy yesterday afternoon when I checked on everybody. Happier times......

A little hokey

October 26, 2014October 26, 2014 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

My husband says stringing a clothesline across the front porch is more than a little hokey. I told him if he'd sink my clothesline posts, I wouldn't have to do this. LOL I'm saving money and helping the environment,  and blankets on the line just smell SO good!  Be radical and hokey at the same … Continue reading A little hokey

The perfect solution

October 24, 2014October 20, 2014 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

I have tons of little things that need done around here, and I can never seem to get to them. The neighbor boy needs money to pay his cell phone bill every month so I hired him. It's working out pretty well so far. We struck a deal for a certain amount of money weekly … Continue reading The perfect solution

Mickey is still so skittish. He'll come when called but not want touched. He just wants food. He's a little pig and knows I have the good stuff. LOL

They’re back

October 21, 2014October 19, 2014 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

We lost both roosters, two hens, and the young chick that hatched this summer. This all happened Saturday night. I have lost a couple over the past two weeks, but I thought they'd flown out of the run to roost in a tree but then were grabbed at night. I was wrong. These were killed … Continue reading They’re back

Little rebel
