Tom our beautiful but very ill behaved rooster...
The goats will be kidding soon and I can hardly wait! Miss Rosie (right) is due this week so look out for a post on the kid(s) arrival. (Not sure what the distraught look on Malachi's face is all about.)
I bought Miss Olive (left) last December. She was bred a month before I got her. Her kids will be a Saanen/Nubian cross.
Feeding...
We are down to 16 hens due to a very sly fox who really enjoys the taste of chicken... We will be ordering 45 or so more pullets this spring.
Malachi feeding Candy~
A black Australorp and her clutch of eggs
Playing on the hay bales...
Feed...
Matt was coming into the barn to feed so Malachi and Mariah decided to hide in the feed barrels:)
"Pop goes the weasel"
After figuring out that Mariah must be hiding in the other grain barrel, he sat on the lid!
Mariah (8), "Matt let me out! I am going to get you." :)
The perfect picture of grace....:>)
The flock...
Momma and Maddy hanging out clothes~
Matt and Dixie going for a run. Notice Dixie's black muzzle??? We have free range chickens and she was bred for hunting! :)
Oh, the glorious sunshine!!
Have a blessed Lord's day!

I seriously need to come and visit y'all sometime! Of course, I'm not much of a farm girl. ;)
Love LOVE the pictures!! It was fun getting a sneek peek at your family and farm! Our dog's name is Dixie too! Nuthin like bein southern. ;)
We would love for you to visit Giann! We have had plenty of girls out here that claimed that they were not farm girls... We converted them!!:)
Thank you for commenting Leanna! Amen... there is NOTHING like being southern!
The picture of you mom hanging clothes made me homesick. Its because I saw the flat landscape behind her. It makes me miss it even though when I was there I didn't like it. Go figure.
haha, love you,
Abigail
Oh how I would love to be in that warm weather right now! (yesterday it was -49F windchill :O!)
Gotta love life on the farm! We will start calving in a few weeks.
Do you ride your horse or is it just a pet?
Ker
lol Abigail! Yes, it seems the things we dislike we often miss once they are gone...
Love you too!
Hello Ker!
Wow my friend, that is very cold!!
Hope you post pictures of the babies when they are born:)
I ride her but not as often as I used to. I need to be training one of my other horses right now... Not enough hours in the day:)

Thanks Jenny!
While I do love the weather here, it can get very hot during the summer.:)
I bet you have very lovely summers where you live!
Yes, we let the chickens out year around. The one time we did have snow this year, they hated it:)!
M.E.
Our summers range from 70F - 80F on normal days. But we can reach 100F with the humid-x occatioinally. Those days we usually stay inside the most we can, cause us Canadians are just not used to that kind of heat!
