Spring has sprung here in Tennessee. I pass this field of Daffodils every day I leave the farm. It is so beautiful. Everything is turning green and promising new life. We went to the 4-H extension office yesterday to turn in Samuel’s yearbook. The agent graded it right then and there and he [...]

It is hard to believe that my baby is 10 years old! They are growing up so fast. We got up this morning and went to IHOP (International House Of Pancakes) for breakfast. We did remember the camera so we are going in the right direction, however, we forgot to use it! Samuel ordered a [...]

Samuel joined 4-H last month. Yes, now I am aware that they break for the summer but hey, cut me some slack, we are homeschoolers! We don’t have a schedule….well, that is a lie, we have a schedule just not a typical school schedule. So in order for him to be a full fledged member [...]

We were able to work on the chickens’ new hoop house this weekend. I use the term “we” loosely, as I did not do much of the work. I had dogs to groom on Saturday and Quinn was up and working hard early. After dogs I pitched in where I was needed. This is a [...]

This morning the boys and I got up early to go to the Ben Roy Science Show. It was very cool. We saw the Tesla Coil, a Hydrogen flair, a glow stick made and a ping pong ball shoot through a soda can. The boys love science and the cool things you can do. We [...]

We had friends come to play today. They were out of school today because of spring break and they had been here to see the chicks the day they arrived here. Boy, have they changed since then! They are in their ugly teenage stage right now and boy do they stink! The last time I [...]

My peeps are two weeks old! They are really getting strong! One flew out of the pool when we were trying to catch them for a photo op. The last time I had chicks I only had 6 of them so they got used to being caught for holding. One of them preferred to ride [...]

It is hard to believe that 2 days ago it was 80 degrees and today we had a beautiful snow shower. It was coming down in big fat flakes. A true winter wonderland. Now it is more sleet than snow but Samuel noticed Woodpeckers in the yard tearing up what was left of a stump. [...]

Quinn comes home from work through the garage each day and passes by the chicks, and last night he told me that he had looked into the enclosure to say “hi” to the the ‘peeps’ and that he noticed that I had built them furniture!?! Well, I never thought of it that way! I laughed [...]

This is just too funny not to share. My two boys were giving me a lesson in cooties on the way home from church today. My oldest, Samuel, was telling me that only girls have cooties. Boys have bomb-bombs. Girls have cooties to attract boys and boys have bomb-bombs to resist the girls’ cooties. Some [...]
