On these smoldering summer days what can you do but try and keep cool. I’ve taken to working outside in the mornings. Taking care of the animals and gardening. I’m constantly going outside to check on the animals throughout the day, making sure they have cool water, and they are all doing okay. Much ofContinue reading “Just Another Day”

Starting Over
It’s never easy to start over but sometimes that the way you make your dreams come true. After some debate, my husband and I decided to start our homestead all over with only birds we want to breed. We are in the process of selling off all the birds that we no longer want toContinue reading “Starting Over”
Dogs or Cats?
Dogs or cats? Simple! Dogs!! Plus I’m allergic to cats. I will say cats do have a few plus’, like catching mice… damn that’s all I got. So one plus lol. I don’t have to clean a litter box!! Yuck!! I’d rather clean up chicken poop 24/7 than clean a litter box! My dog, Martok,Continue reading “Dogs or Cats?”
Losing Track of Time
Which activities make you lose track of time? I almost always lose track of time when I’m knitting or reading. I find those activities the most relaxing and never get anything else done. I think I should make tomorrow a knitting day lol Have a fantastic evening!
Homesteading Isn’t Easy…
The last month has been difficult to say the least. Between a tornado, daughter in law’s car accident, family coming from out of state to help, family arriving for a visit from Washington state and adult children having problems, I wish I knew where to start. We are still working on clean up from theContinue reading “Homesteading Isn’t Easy…”
For The Sake Of Harmony
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony? I can’t think of anything I’d let go of. I love everything about my life and at this moment everything seems to be working harmoniously. If I had to choose anything though, I’d say social media. I don’t use much social media anymore. IContinue reading “For The Sake Of Harmony”

Auction Day!!
The last Friday of every month is my favorite day! It’s the Amish Animal auction in Yoder, Kansas. It’s a 2 hour drive from home but completely worth it. We love being able to get away from the homestead for a day and being around other chicken people. We’ve made some really good acquaintances. WeContinue reading “Auction Day!!”
12 Hours of Hell…
Just when you think you are starting to succeed in your life, life decides to kick you in the teeth. I can honestly say I did not expect 12 hours of hell. We made a 7-hour trip to Missouri last weekend to celebrate our youngest grandson’s 1st birthday. My daughter and middle grandson went withContinue reading “12 Hours of Hell…”
I’m a little crazy… Bird Crazy!
I’m over our heads… nah not us. We love to over extend ourselves. We had a great hatch this week. 98 quail, 12 Lavender Orpington, 8 Black Copper Maran, and 50 barnyard mix. We’ve had so many hatching I’m having a hard time keeping up. This spring Ivan and I put our heads together andContinue reading “I’m a little crazy… Bird Crazy!”
