Butterflies and the Flu AGAIN?!?!
The crazy spring weather we’ve had this year meant that the butterflies took a few extra days to hatch. It normally only takes 7-10 days but somehow Mother Nature seems to know when it’s not a good time. So it took more like 14 days for the butterflies to hatch. That’s probably a good thing […]
Happy Hatch Day!
Well, 21 days is incredibly long to wait for a chick to hatch if you’re a kid….or if you’re ME!!! But we did wait! For 21 days and 21 nights. Just kidding. Actually, on the 20 night we noticed one of the eggs had a chip in it from the chick trying to peck from […]
Spring Cleaning and The Flu
Well, the crazy weather had us chasing our tails for the better part of March. I think March Madness refers to basketball tournaments, but it is such an appropriate term. March is always Madness!! And it definitely spilled over into the weather. The crazy March weather! This is staring to sound a lot like my […]
Spring Chickens and Snow??
Well, March is kinda like my house, always unpredictable!! This year March was no exception. One day it was a bright, sunny, 70 degrees and the next day it was 35 degrees and snowing. That’s crazy, y’all! And I know crazy well. Very well actually! Crazy, crazy March weather. March comes in like a lion […]
Goodbye’s and New Beginnings
Saying goodbye is always hard for me. Really, seriously hard. I have attachment issues apparently…. so saying goodbye can be really hard for me. To have to say goodbye to two (YES 2!) homes in less than 2 weeks was nearly my undoing! Needlesss to say my emotions were all over the place and poor […]
Our Plans
So, Jim and I have had a few questions about our plans right now. Well, really we’ve had a lot of questions. Alot! How can you live in a house that is under 1000 sq. feet with 3 kids? Why are you doing that? Do you know anything about farming? Why do you want to […]
Moooving week!!
Well, we almost finished all the fencing, but we were waiting for that silly dozer to be fixed. STILL WAITING after 2 months. Every time they thought they had it figured out, it would turn out that it was a different problem. First, they thought it was a sensor. Nope, didn’t fix the problem. Then […]
Crazy Critters
Crazy Critters. That pretty much sums up all of my animals. I say “my animals” because if it’s an animal that I’ve picked out or brought home, then it’s crazy. No explanation makes sense really. Just crazy. I am just drawn to crazy animals. Or else, I bring out the crazy in them. Maybe I […]
Silly, Silly Sheds
Well, the New Year had brought us a lot of hurry up and wait. And a lot of cold weather. Then more waiting. And then rain. And more rain. Oh, the fun of waiting for our sheds to be delivered, for our dozer to be fixed and for the weather to cooperate! Every morning I […]
Still Fencing and Snowing
Well, the third week of January came and so did more brutally cold weather. Yes, old man winter, we do know it’s still winter. We don’t need to have it shoved in our faces again! But yet, the highs were only in the 30s again. Great. Let’s work on the fencing again. Ha! Jim had […]
