Making Our House Our Own

front entry

We’ve reached our two-year anniversary here. Those of you who have followed along from the beginning know that there were some changes that we wanted and/or needed to make to the house and property to make our house our own. You’ve seen us (and by “us”, I mostly mean Michael) learn plumbing. You’ve seen my dad […]

AWANA is an acronym from 2 Timothy 2:13 which states “approved workmen are not ashamed.” For those of you who are not familiar with AWANA, their mission […]

Video of Bucklings

Brown Sugar's Babies are Four Days Old

It is a gorgeous Sunday here on the farm so I thought I would toss out a cute video of baby bucklings. This was taken a couple days after they were born. On Tuesday, the three multicolored ones will be three weeks old, and the two black ones will be three weeks on Saturday. Have […]

Mouse Finally Kids

Mouse Finally Kids

Mouse’s due date was March 22. She didn’t have her babies on March 22. She did not have them on March 23, she did not have them here or there, she did not have them in a box, she did not have them with a fox….I digress. YEAH! She lost her ligaments on Friday morning. […]

Oreo, Bucklings, and Boys

Spring Break Play Date

When I last left you, we were on Thursday and a play date was scheduled. Michael would also be getting home that night. Joshua and Nicholas were a great help to me all week. As a matter of fact, the only reason the house was clean is because they cleaned it for me. A carpool […]

Baby Goats Just Keep Coming

Brown Sugar's Babies are Four Days Old

It has been a really busy two weeks. I’m very behind on posting updates. We started on March 15 with Brown Sugar giving birth to THREE baby boys. Here are some pictures of them at four days old. (Remember, if you click on any picture it enlarges them) You don’t think I could only show […]

Ramblin Rose and Her Two Buds

Ramblin Rose and Her Two Buds

Somewhere between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. on Saturday Ramblin Rose kidded. She had two beautiful bucklings. Here is one of them: What happened is, Michael told the boys they needed to take the first two hour shifts in the barn on Friday night/Saturday morning. Michael and Nicholas went out first and by 1:45 a.m. they […]

Three New Goat Bucklings

Guess what. We have three new goat bucklings on the farm. Ok, so the title gave it away. This is what Brown Sugar looked like the day before she kidded. I figured she had more than two in there. Her due date was Tuesday, March 14. We thought she might kid in the middle of […]

Goats eating kelp meal

Our goats love their Organic Kelp Meal. Here are our bucks, Surfer Joe (white), Woody (red) and introducing our newest member Tamarack, scrambling to get their fair share of Organic Kelp Meal. We put this out for them to eat every Saturday, and they consume it like it is going out of style. We put our […]

Twice Baked Potatoes

Twice Baked Potatoes

Twice baked potatoes. I could eat them twice…..or more. When my family asks, “What is for dinner?”, and they hear that one of the items is “twice baked potatoes”, there are cheers all around. Sometimes potatoes are boring. This is the way to jazz them up. Not only are they great for dinner, but they […]
