Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EACH OF YOU!!


It seems since I started this blog, I have made many promises to write more and devote more time here, but I am not making that resolution today. I do have full plans to be here more often though. I may even start a new blog dedicated more to my reading than to the life here on the farm. 


Farm life has changed quite a bit since I started this and it makes writing here a bit more difficult, but I will find things to share here that deal with farm life and I will be making more posts about things we are doing as well. We still have a few animals, but not as many as we have had in the past. With both girls out of the house and living their own lives and my husband and I aging, animals are not as easy to care for as they were a few years ago. 


I hope every one has a fabulous start to 2022. I will be having surgery in 11 days and I am stressed over it because I will be off my feet again for several months and I feel so helpless and know that so many things will not be done when I need them completed. I am thankful that our youngest daughter lives next door and that I am able to count on her more than I would like too. 


I have a lot to do today and so this is going to be short, but tomorrow I intend to recap some of our 2021 adventures.

    Happy to see a post from you. I, too, keep promising myself to blog more often. This last year or so has certainly taken its toll on life and my energies have been focused in other directions. Have a wonderful 2022. Hugs-Diana

      I completely understand. Life seems to be going in so many directions and yet, I can't seem to catch up on anything.

 As I was looking through my posts today, I see that I have failed my readers. Many of you were aware that my other daughter was pregnant and going to deliver in July, I am sure those of you that knew are wondering why I never posted about that and I must say that life has just gotten in the way, and I thought that I had written a post. Since I know I did not, I will now! He came when Mamaw was out of town! Can you believe that? He actually had the nerve to do something so ridiculous as to come while I was at the Pink Zebra reunion (our annual conference). I was with four of my best friends when we got the announcement that he was here! I was so happy that I was able to share that news with them before anyone else. Of course, the leaders of the company were there and anxious to hear how she was doing as well.  Deliver went fairly smooth, but she was in labor for quite a while. I am not sure on hours, but I think about 6 hours. There were some issues with my daughter following delivery

Something is Falling From The Sky

 Yesterday and today have been very cool days here on the farm and I must say that something that we don't recognize has been falling from the sky. It is wet and seems to be hanging around. IT is certainly what the ground needed as it seems to have soaked it up almost immediately. Rain, glorious rain!! The ducks are loving their pool and the rain, but I truly don't think that they are liking the cooler temperatures so much. I know I am not. I don't mind cool, but wearing my sweatshirt in June is not fun.  The white turkeys are enjoying the coop that my husband put together for them. We have 5 of them and two others. We won't be keeping all of the toms as we have too many.  Nesting boxes made of milk crates that we had lying around work well attached to the back wall.  Here is Tom. He is such a great boy, but he likes to show off. He gets along well with the chickens.  These are my Old English chickens. I like them as they are small and will never get much bigger. I actu

Happy Homemaker Monday - 1/8/24

 Hello! Welcome to my first Happy Homemaker Monday post for 2024. I am happy to join Sandra at  Diary of A Stay At Home Mom  to participate in this series. How has everyone's Monday morning been so far? Mine is slow as most Mondays, but I will be busy later. I really need to work on my direct sales business and get my inventory done for the year. Taxes will be soon and I need that information.  The Weather: The weather is predicted to be a little unsettled this week with periods of rain and snow throughout the week. Daytime highs in the 30's and 40's, which is a bit above average with lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Not too bad for this time of the year. I hate the rain as it just makes the farm a muddy, sloppy mess.  Right Now I Am: Sitting at my desk listening to the news and writing this post. My daughter just came over for coffee and to chat a bit.  Thinking and Pondering: What I will get accomplished this week and where I want to start for chores. I am t
