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.

Batty bats!
So... it's looks like I was right. Remember back when I thought there were bats in our attic but Farmer J said the noises were from mice. Well, we are probably both right. Lucky us, we have mice and bats in our attic. J got home late from work last night and decided to go for a midnight stroll through the woods-- he is a true naturalist! I'll return to his late night stroll within the next post. Anyway, as he got closer to the house, he heard this high pitched squealing/squeaking. He looks up and saw bats going in/out of a hole near the top of our house. Then...this is the sad but exciting part... he saw what looked like a bat in distress hanging off the roof. J was thinking he would need to go get a ladder and rescue the bat but seconds later... thump. It turns out that J actually was looking at two bats hanging off the roof and they had both fallen to the ground. Both bats appeared injured. I'm thinking injured bat equals get the heck outta there (picturing the bat scene with Meredith and Dwight from The Office). J is thinking... let's get a picture. He's a great husband- he knew a picture would just make this blog entry that much more interesting. And he was right.
