......to say that our blog is not dead, and there will be a "good" post soon.
Lately my thoughts have been going in so many directions at once that I don't know which one to fallow through on and post about.
Also, it is very nearly springtime on a farm, meaning that things are very busy here. Our day starts a 5:30 (a.m.) and ends around 9:00 (p.m.) or so right now.
Project(s) report:
Living room~coming right along, slow and steady wins the race.
Goats~milking one right now and making yogurt and cheese. New babies will be arriving in April!
Chickens~we are getting between 11 and 14 eggs a day. Glad they slowed down for the winter! (ha ha)
Cows~ever growing, always eating, and good producers of "garden soil enhancer".
Dogs~I think Ollie has stopped growing taller, but he is still filling out. At the last vet visit he weighed in at 140lbs. His latest achievement was killing a skunk that has been hanging around. He smelled horrible, but we are proud of him. Dozer limps and coughs and tries to get in the house on cold days (or at least get some sympathy for his "aches and pains" :) Gracie just eats and sleeps, except at night when we are trying to sleep, then she barks.
New additions~Rabbits and pigs, both for meat purposes. More on them later.
Garden~I have started the early plants, and they are all up and doing well. We are planning a lot, so we will see what happens!
Well, thats all for now. I need to go start some cookies and then make supper.
God bless,
Rachel
