I have done it! It took having my children away at their grandparents to allow me to have a few minutes to figure this blogging thing out. And here it is... my first picture posted.
Here are some of the morels Farmer J found on the land. Every day for the last week or so, he and the children have been outside "morel hunting." He was able to pick quite a few to give to his parents as a little fungal thank you for watching the boys.
Here is the chicken coop. J added the fenced in area to the right and painted the door red. Ever since traveling in Ireland, we have loved brightly colored front doors. The girls will have this as their new home in a few weeks.
Here is Farmer J with Magnolia. This was the very first day the chicks arrived to their new home.
Here is me! Mama chick. I literally had only been awake for about two minutes before this picture was taken. Horrible shot but my adoration of my new baby birds is all over my face!
This is what we found when we opened the box from the post-office. 28 baby chicks arrived the day after Easter! They were all huddled in the corner and I was worried I would find one died from suffocation. Luckily not.
The chicks first home!
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
