This is the newest member of our family at the barn...
Barney, the Barn Cat! |
We have TONS of mice!! So we decided it was time to invest in a good hunter so we wouldn't have to throw out any more of our micro-green beds... the mice started finding ways into them and decided it was a nice place to nest for the night! Hopefully Barney will become nice and fat and our Mice population will decrease. So sad. ->
On a happier note! Lots is being done to prepare for our incoming 100 Chickens, our baby goats, and the massive amount of produce that we will begin growing here soon. The horses have also moved into their new barn and are incredibly spoiled! They have self replenishing water that is slightly heated so it wont freeze. Beautiful clean beds, warm jackets to sleep in and their runs are all set up so they have a way to their new pasture. This stunning barn is coming together so nicely and is being fully stocked with antiques such as chests to hold the horses necessities and nicknacks. It feels so homie.
I think I might just move in with the horses! :) Although I might start to smell......
There is still so much to do!! (More pictures to come once we have finished the masterpiece!) We have also been working our tooshes off to clean up for the incoming season. We cleared out and reorganized the Green House to make way for the new plants that will soon be growing in there. Chase has been working so hard to put everything in pristine condition for the Spring as well as building an extension on the Goat Palace and brainstorming how to build 16 more chicken beds so the incoming chickens will have plenty of room for laying their eggs.

Here is the green house after it was
cleaned out and prepped for the
thousands of plants that will soon be
sprouting.

| I got to drive the tractor! It was so much fun!! |
 |
| My first tilled field! |
You know, for being such a city girl...I can't get enough of this little piece of country!!
 |
| Two of the thousands of reasons I love working at the farm are: 1) The sunrise 2) The sunset Every time I am out here I get to see God paint a new canvass twice a day. It is never the same and it is always beautiful. I really enjoy waking up all the animals, giving them their breakfast and dinner and watching the farm come to life and settle in for the night. One of my favorite nights on the farm so far was last Friday. We have been burning wood from the trails and after everyone was fed and tucked in Chase and I made our way down to the fire to make sure it was died down. (We also had to wait for the construction workers to leave). Fortunately for us the embers were still blazing hot. I made Chase and his wife brownies and we couldn't help but pull them out to enjoy a few near the fire. Chase had the brilliant idea to find a large stick to act as a spatula so we could place the brownies over the fire to warm up! |

| Lots of wood to burn! Amazing day for this pyro! |

| Brilliant |
Yesterday my family came to visit the farm!!
They loved every second of it!
 |
| James got to sit on the Tractor just like his Auntie Sarah |
They got to visit the Goats
James and Elli couldn't get enough of all the fun animal noises.
They also got to visit the horses.
 |
| Elli didn't like it as much... |
 |
| James was very interested but wouldn't get on the ponies. |
 |
| The ponies are very friendly and loved the extra attention. |
My family LOVED the chickens!!
 |
| James' eyes were HUGE the whole time! |
 |
| Elli was considering whether to play with them or eat them! |
The best part of their day was harvesting the chicken eggs.
My sister and my mom had never harvested eggs before.
Chase was so nice and gave our family some eggs to try! My parents got very into it and looked up how to properly clean the eggs! I LOVE how happy food makes people. Everything from filling our bodies to adding some joy into our day. That is a huge reason why I have chosen this career path!
Thanks again Chase!!

| Goodnight Farm! I love you!!!
