The hummingbirds are having such a difficult time at the feeder today. The wind is blowing so hard that they aren’t able to hover and the feeder is moving around. Ever once in a bit, one is able to take advantage of the break in the wind and success! Yesterday’s storm didn’t turn out to…
Watered the garden today. There’s bad weather forecast for this evening tho. Started working on the fence but then ended up putting a cattle panel up makeshift. I need an additional set of hands to work on the fence so it will have to wait until MM can help. Still not quite sure how the…
Another lovely day on the farm. I am staying out of the garden (for the most part) this week as we prep for the wedding. I could spend way too much time working out there. Maroochy would really like to take the littles out but they are just so small still. I’m gonna make her…
It’s a lovely wet day on the farm today. I am thankful for the rain! Everyone is doing well. The dogs are holed up on the front porch. The coos are off grazing as it appears the rain doesn’t bother them at all. The chickens also don’t seem to care if they are wet. Maroochy…
It’s overcast and gray on the farm this morning. Fits my mood pretty good. Unfortunately, none of the chicks have hatched and the one heard peeping is silent. Maroochy, the mama hen, is still very protective of the eggs but I think I’m going to have to take them from her. If the farm store…
YES! We hear baby peeps this morning. Doesn’t look like anyone has broken out of a shell and we can’t see anything under momma’s wings yet but we can hear the faint peeps. Yay! Can’t wait to meet the new chickies. It’s a windy day but I’m gonna get to planting because there’s a chance of…
We survived the freeze and woke up to 26 degrees this morning. Some of the plants have been damaged. So much has still not sprouted (and probably wont) but I’m hoping things will still turn out well. Today is day 21 of Chick Hatch 2014. I have yet to hear anything. I’ll keep checking off…
Today is our “average last frost date”. I just dumped all my seeds in the garden. Nah, I did put in a few more seeds but Easter hasn’t arrived yet so I’m thinking there might be another cold snap sometime in the next 10 days or so. I’ll wait till after Easter (and the wedding) to…
It’s a windy day on the farm! The moo girls have had their morning cubes and were happily munching on hay when I left the corral. The chickens are still working on scratching down the mountain of sheep poop. Frosty is their rooster this week. I’ve put the other two in “time-out”. I’m hoping that…
We’ve finished the new stalls for the moo girls. Added the individual hay mangers today. So far they seem to be liking them just fine. Our injured chicken was given some isolation time today to keep her out of the dirt and away from the roos. She wasn’t overly happy with this arrangement as she is…
