The Farm – Eggs, Chickens and Predators
Well….. it was about this time 2 weeks ago I let the flock out for their regular everyday wander around the yard, eat bugs, peck and scratch, coo and cockadoodledoo.

The House – what was old has New life
Part of the old house renos is peeling back years of paints and stains on the original doors of the house.

The Farm – more seeds planted
I was able to sit down again and start more seeds. It has been a very difficult week but we are trying to press forward. Seeds need to be planted so veggies and flowers will grow.
