First sunny day in forever!

First my helpers “help” me spread manure in the garden . . . kids, this is serious . . .

Not a lot got done, if I’m being honest.

Corralling the chickens after they’d escaped from the barnyard proved fruitless . . .

You think you’re so smart, chicky, but don’t come running to me after you’ve been eaten by a fox!

The ducks had the right idea . . .

Sleep with one eye open, Ferd says.

My husband spends the day productively building shelves . . .

while in the barnyard the animals and I wait and wait for Pixie the goat to have babies . . . she’s late.

Pickles and ice cream

Trying to get a goat to stand still . . . not working. Only one week until we have our first kids. Have decided to let the does raise their young. Went over to a friends to watch a doe give birth but the kid was dead. I think ours will be alive.

Do you live in a barn?
