A squirrel

They're cute-until they start chewing up your bird feeder!

We have water run in the barn! Chores just got easier. Next is to get electric installed and start moving critters in. Our goats moved in a couple months ago and are loving it. So much to do around here. We need to stock up on hay. I am still waiting on the green house hubby promised me. I have 5 roosters I need to put in the freezer just waiting on time and good weather. The rabbits are not cooperating with our breeding plan.The buck is ready but the girls are playing hard to get. Hoping they will do better this time. They both had a litter the 1st of July but they all died due to neglect from the mammas. I have one nubian doe I need to start milking, one is bred due in February and one we will breed in a couple months, just waiting for her to grow some more. Add to all this homeschooling DS, soccer and scouts. Makes for busy times around here.

Be honest, now. I'll bet when you married you never thought you could get so excited over having running water in the barn. Oh, how our priorities change as we seek self-reliance and sufficiency!

So true, we spent over 26 years moving where the army told us. We have been here for five years now. That is a record for us having never stayed in one place for more than three years. This is a whole new life style and I love having the animals and planting things that we will be here to see grow. We don't plan on ever moving again.

doesn't having your "place" give you peace. even though its not perfect and there will always be something that needs done or fixed or whatever it is still your place. i tell everyone that the day i leave my place is the day they pick me up, put me in a box and carry me off. this is my place and i love it warts and all.

Amen, sistah!

Has it really been a year since I last posted here? The squirrel turned out to be female. We move her outside a few months back. We have also had two more sets of goat babies since this last picture and our rabbits have finally started getting things right.

Good to hear.
