The adventure has begun!

And so the adventure begins...raising chickens that is! Our chicks have finally arrived. We ordered 25 and have 24. One was dead when they arrived.

They are doing well so far. Growing so quickly. We are continuing our work on the coops before the chickens head outside at about 10 weeks. Need to do a bit more patching against predators and get the chicken yard up...

In the spring it's two goats, one for milk, turkeys for meat and meat chickens also.

Our little farm is growing. We are clearing an area for a BIG garden this upcoming spring. We want to grow most if not all of our own produce. I can't wait to can my own tomatoes..!!!

I am enjoying country life and so are our children!

Some pictures of us all these days..

The past 2 weeks..

It's been awhile since my last post.

We recently returned from MA for my love's mama's funeral. It was a hard 9 days away. I have been spending this past week trying to recuperate and get life back on track here in our home.

My dh and I did get a few pictures of the ocean near where we lived back in 2002 in MA. It was beautiful!

My parents, affectionately referred to as Nana & Papa came to visit. We all went to Palo Duro Canyon. We had a great time and got beautiful pictures!

 So wild and beautiful!
