Our produce haul just today! Holy moly! 😮

So much produce waste in this world if you think about it, this is just one location in one small city, but so grateful for the donation. It may not be "fit for human consumption" but the animals don't care if fruit and vegetables are crushed or over ripe.

This supplemental treat really does make a difference in our food costs over the past month and I really love that.

This kingsnake the kids found was much larger than the one the cows stepped on and killed a while back.

We didn't take him off the property though, we put him in the middle actually, near a brush pile. He will be very beneficial to keep local. He's not as big as that ratsnake we keep seeing, so he's not a real risk to the flocks or anything I wouldn't think.

None of the rabbit breeding last month stuck. They were due like 5-6 days ago if any took, which apparently didn't happen. So today we tried for next month.

We made sure to get 3 fall offs each, which these bucks did much better at this time. Last month was their first times so it took WAY too long to even get one good fall off.

I'm writing the date down and will prepare everything when time gets closer. We should have anywhere from 1-3 litters if they got bred successfully this time.

Hopefully it works. The kids have been talking about eating the rabbits non-stop and I really cant wait to teach them the whole process and cook it and know they played part and were eating something we raised from the start. 🐇

I remember the day I saw a local store post this rock on their page. I was drawn to it. I needed it. It had a hefty price tag (not that I can remember the exact amount) Crazy that its been almost a decade ago!

I remember asking my husband if he would go to a shop with me, that had just recently opened, and so we went. Of course he loved rocks and crystals just as much as me. I never mentioned to him that I wanted this particular stone. I went there to see if anything caught his eye.

Low and behold. This polychrome Jasper did.
Along with some other special rocks of course. He bought several that day.

I was looking this week while admiring our shelves of crystals and I just had to hold it and appreciate it. Remembering exactly how it came to be with us. Remembering the excitement and the joy it brought me when he picked it up and wanted it just as much as I did.

Special. All of our rocks are special because at some point or another. One, both, or the other wanted them, gifted them, felt drawn to them. Each one called to us and has special meaning to us. Our collection is ours and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Do you or your spouse/partner have any special collections?

We just hit 2,400 follows 8 minutes ago. I've been letting things go organically the past month instead of pushing or promoting on f4f trains or pages.

I've been working on keeping up with the community of pages I follow and interact with that genuinely interact and follow me. I have enjoyed it much more and to me is more fullfilling. I'm just going to let this page keep growing organically and through my supporters. Thank you for being here!

If you see this and read this, go ahead and leave any sort of comment so I can stop back by your page and give you some love 💜

Everyday I strive to allow moments of beauty to count without demanding they erase pain. Today during my lunch hour I tossed a grape in the grass and dropped a sprout beside the table. I delight in watching the ants and sometimes a squirrel will grab the fruit. This is how I choose balance. I know that there is beauty and ugliness. Finding the balance feels the most authentic to me.

So grateful for the opportunity today to set up and have people sit and pet our baby goats and our mini-rex rabbit Strawberry.

We accepted donations (which all goes towards the care of the animals on the homestead)

I was completely shocked when we got home and emptied the box. It was enough to buy not only one bag of feed, but 1 bag of each sort of feed we need. Which is a blessing!!!

I hope everyone who came by today to see us enjoyed their time and cuteness overload. 😍

Lunchtime outside is cool when you have your own little picnic table. Its too cute.

We need to get our big one from our other property. It'll be nice to have a place for the older kids to sit too.

Do you have designated eating area outside?
