We bought the farm!

That's just so fun to say! 

 

 We've waited a long time to be in the position of buying a hobby farm with which to raise our family on.  We are still in that state of pleasant shock where it all seems too good to be true yet we've lived it unfolding and know it to be a reality.

 

So much to say, so little time!

We've been very busy lately...too busy to sit at the computer and write things out.  I have much to tell about because so much has been happening!

 

My bottom watering routine

Brace yourselves!  This is going to be one very boring blog post!  Feel free to skip this post, unless you want to poke fun at my nerdiness.  Actually, if you go grab a snack by the time you get back, I should be done and then you will be spared my detailed ramblings.  See you in a few... 

 

I wanted to make a note for myself on how we were watering from the bottom because I kept forgetting and doing it in the wrong order and forgetting the simple way I did it the day before.  So I decided I would make a post about it so I can save myself a few headaches next time.

 

Turtle soup, anyone?

They say simple pleasures for simple minds, so what does it say about us that we all get excited about finding a snapping turtle in our yard?
 

Our first full-fledged barn cats have been born!

We feel a bit as if we are slowly making a picture book come to life in our daily lives.  You know the ubiquitous barn cat that is always seen in every children's book about farms?  The ever present barn cat provides that warm fuzzy feeling of contentment when seeing her grooming herself on straw bales and she also provides an invaluable service of keeping the mice and moles in check.

We have hit a new epoc in our lives of living in the country as we now have our first official, authentic, full-fledged barn cats that have arrived... and actually were born in the barn!

This is Clover, Molly's cat.
