Work slowed to virtually none on the coop for a while (a bull jumping the fence will make all attention focus on fixing the fence!). Amazingly enough, 34 three week old chicks in the bathroom will cause work to accelerate on the new coop again in quick fashion! All that dust in my bathroom is … Continue reading New coop….slowly but surely

Peeps and more peeps!
This is Romeo. He's 22 days old today. His little comb is showing up, his down is pretty much gone, and his feathers are growing. For size comparison, this is the chick that hatched late last night. She's one day old. She came from a Maran egg, so I'm super excited to see what her … Continue reading Peeps and more peeps!

I think Beef did it!
We filled the water tank, and when we went back to turn off the hose, the tank was knocked over partway. Ted got the tractor in there with the plan to lift the tank with the tractor. That didn't work, so he rocked it until he could lift it by hand. I think Beef knocked … Continue reading I think Beef did it!

When it rains, it pours!
Literally! I waited a little too long to do the evening farm chores, and I got caught in the downpour! I looked like a drowned rat. I felt like one, too, because I had to walk back home in it AFTER spending twenty minutes working in it!

Minecraft party!
I don't know about your house, but here it's all Minecraft, Legos, and Spongebob with Jake! When we saw a flyer at our local library for a Minecraft party, we signed up and took his cousin, too. They had coloring pages, a marshmallow Creeper toss, bingo, and a bead craft. The snack table was awesome! … Continue reading Minecraft party!

Buried treasure (for us!)
I came home the other night, and Ted was so excited. He was watering the cattle when he noticed something sticking up out of the weeds near Grampa Eddie's old garage. He said he kept looking at it and decided to dig it out. Literally - once he started digging, part of it was underground … Continue reading Buried treasure (for us!)

Bored kids…
Jake and Harley watched a YouTube video about racing bars of soap so of course they had to do it. They tired of that pretty fast, and next thing I knew they decided to wash the windows. LOL They did a pretty good job!

Take two…
The blade on the tractor isn't cutting it. It collects too much dirt and not enough debris. We drove to another Rural King that the Kubota dealership guy recommended, and we bought a rake. Yes, we brought an 8' tractor rake home in my minivan! Chrysler, you should really feature our farm use of your … Continue reading Take two…
