Where do I start?

It's almost the end of July, and I feel like I need at least two more months so I can feel like I've got something accomplished. I don't forsee any canning in my future this year, I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the other tasks I have to accomplish. Wishing I was Laura Ingalls and could spend the days, the 70 degree days, on my little farm getting everything just the way I like it.

The Chicken Coop is done, for the most part, with many kudos to my Dad for lending his expertise and tools, and my nephew Noah and my son Jake, they helped on Saturday's to get this job done and we are so happy it's done.

The kids love to play with the chickens, and the rooster, yeah, we have Pat, the unknown bird that is now known...we will fatten pat up and then....say goodbye...I don't want to upset my neighbors with a rooster.

We also have spent some time at our local baseball games, the Iron Pigs, last week we were given tickets to some VIP seats that we just loved, here is Jake enjoying the game.

We also have one summer birthday under our belt , Emma turned 10 in July and we celebrated by giving her a surprise Luau at her grandparents pool. We all had a great time and beautiful weather. Here is a photo of Emma celebrating in Sunday School.

I will try to update again soon, when I find time......anyone willing to give some of their time, I'll forward my address...lol

Chick time!

Tonight we begin our chick adventure. Supplies are needed before we bring those cute little chicks home, so off to tractor supply we go to find everything we need to keep them warm, fed and happy until they can go out into their new coop currently being built by Jake and Pop Pop.

The kids are excited at the thoughts of 5 new friends living on our property, and mom is excited for fresh eggs for baking just in time for the Holiday's.

Will post photos of our chick adventure so you can see just how much fun were having......

We really need Tractor Supply to be able to keep the chicks in stock, seems they are a big seller!
Now what to do with Chaz and Izzie, our two cats..lol
