I don't have too much time today as I've been working every day this week- ughh! But... farming isn't cheap so it's good to have work!
Here are our updates:
-Chicken coop needs to be finished in 24-48 hours- the chicks are no longer chicks but small birds. One flew out of the box today and J found him on the floor.
-J told me to put Magnolia on my shoulder (she is getting pretty tame). A second after I moved her, she pooped all over the floor. That was a close call!
-For those of you who know me well, you know that I am fascinated by Amish culture. J and I watched the PBS special "The Amish" online. Amazing program. I highly recommend it. A lot of what we saw validated our decision to try and live closer to the land and attempt to lead a more simplistic life.
-I'm thankful for the mother who lived here before me. You may ask, "How do I know a mama lived here before me?" Because there are high door latches on all the original doors/screen doors to outside-- which I had to use tonight to keep my littlest inside when all he wants to do is sneak out to help "Dada" with the coop!
-We are woken up most mornings by a male robin that keeps flying into the window (outside our bedroom). J thinks he is trying to scare away his male competition (i.e., himself). I could make a comment here about men but that would be too easy!
-Lastly, suppertime is really distracting when you are a little boy and there is a dumptruck outside dumping organic dirt into the garden!
