We are keeping a new cat in the barn. She is very sweet. Her name is Amy and we got her from a friend who needed to find a new home for her. I caught her today sunning herself in the barn.

Later I found her in a bunch of hay that the chickens had fluffed up for her. I suppose they are her new servants because she is the queen of the barn.

After finishing the barn chores this evening I happened to notice that the bird’s nest, above the light in the goat stall, had babies in it! I think they are Barn Swallows but I am not sure. I almost had a picture of Momma bird, but she spotted me and darted away.

Y’all come back now!

About the author
I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years.
We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden.
We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well.
I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
Great site! I always find the articles here really nice.I just hope you will keep us update for more.Thanks!
