Willie Nelson 🐓

A little Willie update ❤️

A couple weeks ago, Willie decided he was done waiting to be let out and jumped from the top of the gate, hurting his leg. 🤦‍♀️

The vet came out today and says he needs a few more weeks of cage rest. Bones take about 4 weeks to heal, then he can start having little supervised outings.

For now, Limpy Willie is getting LOTS of snuggles and taking full advantage of being the spoiled baby of the farm. 😂❤️

He is living his best life inside under mama’s arms. He doesn’t even mind the dogs next to him ❤️

🍑 Well… we did it again. Meet Peaches! 🫏

After bringing Junebug home, we knew pretty quickly that she needed a donkey friend of her own. So when Collinsville Livestock Sales had more minis coming through, I pulled up the online auction and let it play while I worked around the farm.

And let me tell you, bidding online is definitely not as much fun as being there in person. 😂

First come the goats.

Then the sheep.

And more goats.

And more sheep.

Meanwhile, hours of farm chores are getting done while the auction plays in the background. 😂 Feed everybody. Check everybody. Clean this. Haul that. Finish one project and start another… periodically checking the phone to make sure I haven’t missed the donkeys.

By the time the minis finally started coming through, we were fully prepared to bring home a gelding for Junebug.

Then this little gray face popped up on the screen. 🫏

They started out calling her a jack… and then stopped and corrected themselves.

“Correction… Jenny.”

WAIT. WHAT? 👀😂

Suddenly the farm chores could wait.

A little online bidding later and Junebug wasn’t getting a boyfriend after all…

She was getting a girlfriend. ❤️🫏🫏

Everyone meet PEACHES! 🍑

She’s home at The Crazy Beehive Farm now, settling in and getting acquainted with Junebug while the longhorns supervise from next door. Because apparently nothing happens around here without the neighborhood watch knowing about it.

And we’ve officially decided our donkey crew is getting a summer picnic meets the orchard and garden naming vibe. ☀️🧺🍑🍎🍋🌰

So far we have Junebug & Peaches, with Lemonade, Plum, Apple, Pecan and Okra tucked away for someday.

Thanks again to Collinsville Livestock Sales for another sweet addition to this crazy little farm adventure. Next time, though, I think I need the bidder number back in my hand. Online just doesn’t have the same excitement!

Welcome home, Peaches! 🍑🫏❤️

We have been working on this project little by little ALL summer, and I think these pictures make the mess look almost peaceful. 😂❤️

This old barn is coming down one board at a time, but we are taking our time for a reason. A lot of the wood is beautiful old tongue and groove lumber, and we are trying to save as much of it as we possibly can.

There is just something special about old wood like this. The character, the imperfections, the history… you just can’t go buy that at the lumber store.

Right now it may look like we are tearing something apart, but really we are saving it for its next chapter.

I cannot wait to see this old wood cleaned up, put back together, and standing proudly again somewhere here on The Crazy Beehive Farm. ❤️

For now, we’ll keep pulling nails, stacking boards, getting dirty, and enjoying some pretty incredible Oklahoma sunsets while we work.

This one is definitely a labor of love. 🐝🌾❤️

Meet Junebug 🫶🐴🌼

Our new little mini donkey is settling right in, and apparently Ready has decided she belongs to her. 😂❤️

Ready has always seemed to be the mama of the farm, and she wasted absolutely no time checking on Junebug, loving on her, and making sure the new baby knows she has a friend.

Honestly, watching these two together might be the sweetest thing happening at Crazy Beehive Farm right now. 🥹

Junebug may be little, but I have a feeling she’s going to have this whole farm wrapped around her tiny hoof in no time.
