New Changes

Big sigh of relief, big wave of stress ~ gone.
 A consistency I've been waiting and working towards for a long time... many adjustments to come including insurance... but
Finally, we can grow roots!

Life has taken on the perspective I've longed for and now for the new routine... There's been a few deletions and additions here @ The Bright side of the Barn. I think we'll be growing at a steadier pace now as well. Many new stories and still so many old ones to share... I've had animals around me all through life and they have told many a tales. Some sad, some happy, some to chuckle for and some so unbelievable, you might think I'm making it up.

 I've added the Calendar, as we get new chicks and the hens start nesting, there will be dates and anticipation to hatching. Birth of baby goats to come... I'd love to get together for some fishing expeditions locally, my grandson is loving it. And trail rides are always more fun together so hopefully we can round up some riders, through the public calendar and the new forums...

{free roaming or chicken cooped?}

The forums, They are totally empty and ready for new beginnings. Questions, advice answers... Whatever happens in the barnyard is a relevant topic. Join in and build up some great reference materials for future farmers.

I've been getting eggs consistently every day and in addition to the kids benefiting there have been a few sales.... Flats (30 eggs) $5.00 and Dozens for $2.00. Might have to get more chickens too!

We shall be trying to breed Phoebe next spring and perhaps raw goats milk is in the future. Remember Blackberry, strawberry and blueberry jams coming in the fall. (I'm loving canning). Apple sauce didn't turn out as planned we'll try again. My fruit trees are growing well I hope to see harvest in a couple more years..
Salsa has been such a hit with the kids, I have none for winter. LOL
so we need more tomatoes and peppers next year.

Bee Boxes? I'm loaded with clover and honey bees, I'm thinking honey is in another prospect of the future @ the Bright side of the Barn. Except I'm not sure I'm the one cut out to be the bee keeper.

sigh, so many brighter days to come....

Grand-kids this weekend, missed these two to pieces and spent the whole time playing....

Now, I got a million things to go do.

Horse needs her feet trimmed, goats probably do too.... Eggs to gather and stalls to clean.

Blessed by God,

Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn.

Thanks for stopping by and 

Until next time, Stay safe and happy Trails.

A Dog's life

I love how Sophia shares her bed with all the cats.

If only humans could relate so well. 

Mind you , Sophia doesn't look so impressed at the moment. As the weather gets colder these guys give up their differences and the fighting turns into snuggle buddies.

Animals are so entertaining.

There is a heater vent in there, and Sophia is not happy that the cats are hogging up all the heat. LOL . Meanwhile, Gizmo is snuggled up in the dog's blanket without a care in the world.

Miss Sophia turned 12 this year. Her tan has turned to gray and she's showing some signs of aging. She's still as playful as a puppy and full of life. 

 

Blessed by God,

Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn.
