Rainy weather yesterday made onion and garlic harvest pretty easy while also weeding a ton of the garden at the same time! So happy about everything that we have harvested so far this year 🙂

Welcome to the farm Smokey! He is so stinking adorable!! I really thought we were going to have a black calf but nope he’s almost a silver/gray color! He’s a week early and doing great minus being a little slow to figure out how to nurse but he’s doing better at it now! Huge thank you to Matt and Jeff for coming over here twice today to first help deliver him and then came back to help me get Molly up.

Been busy this weekend working on the new location for the wood stove. Next step is to unfortunately take out this big ol window in the living room 😕 not super thrilled but it will definitely make a huge improvement during winter and heating this old farmhouse.

I’m a bit behind on posting in here but we’ve done a few things around the farm this last week.. planted some seeds in the garden, put up Mollys pasture fence, and took out the old hay feeder area that apparently a woodchuck thought it was funny to keep scaring me at evening chores… can’t wait to plant more garden and also start building the new cat area!!

When your farm store run to replace Atlas’s halter ends up with bringing home two baby guineas! We lost our other Guinea chicks so I’m pretty happy that Matt found these guys!

Well.. both sides of the new pastures are up and flagged. Wished we would of had better weather for working on it, but now they are finished. They are going to have to grow on me liking them though. But now we can rotate Kaia more often this summer 🙂

Finished running wire on side of the new updated pastures. Just have to flag them for Kaia. Started taking down the old fence on the other side tonight and we even had a pretty sunset to watch 🙂

Had a busy weekend here! I apparently thought it would be a great idea to move all the irises from by the house to over in the boys corner before the storm 🤦🏻‍♀️ the girls loved watching me while waiting somewhat patiently for worms.. the kiddos did great helping me wash the wagon.. and today we decided to start working on the new updated pastures. Unfortunately the big Rose of Sharon bush had to be cut down, it had too much damage from the ice 😞
