More on the Coop

Well work also progresses on the chicken coop.  We completed the walls and roof, as well as put in the windows.  So it was time for paint!  We finally found the barn red color we were looking for, so we are getting closer to live chicks!

Rain, Rain, Rain


As anyone in the area knows we have had above normal rainfall this year. Well that created a situation in the field which my grandma would have called "getting yourself in a pickle."  But we learned about hill run off and swampy fields to avoid getting in a pickle in the future!!

Cutie in the Barn

A sweet little friend of ours brought hot chocolate to our barn workers, with marshmallows of course.  Thanks little buddy!

Busy Days in the Country!!



Lots of work happening in the barn. We had an amazing group of boys and dads come out and help remove the stalls and eeww remove about one ton of horse manure!!  No exaggeration there, now we know what a ton of manure looks like.  And we passed the second phase of construction on the barn with our friends at the county, so moving forward!
