I was cleaning up the garden getting ready to till it for winter. I thought the sweet potatoes were a bust this year as well. Everything else was a bust this year, why not the sweet potatoes? Boy was I wrong. I told Jacob he could dig for some if he wanted. After the fourth [...]

I was doing my evening barn chores, with the boys’ help, of course. I had just about gotten everything accomplished before milking and I could hear the boys but didn’t know what they were doing. They were done in the barn but I could still hear them laughing and talking. I peeked around the milk [...]

Well, I can procrastinate no longer. I seem to be in a blogging rut. I am trying to get better but there is so much to do and it seems the days are shorter than the usual 24 hr. days that used to be plentiful. Lady the goat dog did not work out. See her [...]

Most people would free range their chickens…right? We prefer to keep our chickens in the goat yard and free range our goats. The goats got out the other day. Quinn was cutting logs in the goat yard and latched the gate from the other side. He didn’t think they would get out by pulling the [...]

Samuel got new glasses finally! He lost them in late June. He has been wearing his older pair until he found them. He said he took them off in the goat yard. What!??? I could not believe that he thought that is where he had them last. We searched but didn’t find them so I [...]

Today I had a “day off”. I did not have any dogs scheduled so I enlisted the boys to help me with blackberry picking. We came up with a deal and I paid them in Wii time. For the most part they were a big help. After all the berries were picked I started making [...]

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 [...]

Wow! What a wild and crazy month it was. I will recap for you: Samuel went to 4-H camp and then on a mission trip called Fish Camp. All in one week we had Vacation Bible School, my sister-in-law and niece from Dallas visiting, and mid-week my parents came and stole er, took both my [...]
