Spring Carton colors

I had to have them when I first spotted them in the catalog. The clear round ones are 6 packs, the others are a stack of 3 different colors for a dozen. Makes you think of spring!
I believe I have labels getting delivered tomorrow, and baby chicks the first week of February. By fall I should have 28 laying hens :} and hopefully 3 ducks laying eggs.
Recycling will definitely be encouraged. They are just to pretty to throw away!

I am going to have to break down and build a chicken house and some sort of overhead material on their yard. Got to keep the Eagles away and make sure they get plenty of outside time. The barn needs cleaned! and poor Joey {the goat} he had chicken poop on his ear this afternoon.

As much as goats love water {not} I'm not able to give him a bath, so he had to settle for a face wash. Such a silly boy. People had a hard time taking care of my goats while I was in the hospital and housebound. Joey is like a guard dog and very protective of me. He would raise his fur and get on his hind legs. He stands over 5 feet tall and weighs at least as much as I do. He's never hurt anyone. He just likes to act tough

I love my goats. They are now 16 months old and growing like crazy. Looking back on the baby pictures, their ears haven't changed. They have gotten bigger heads but the ears didn't get any longer. They were such cute babies.....

Blessed by God

Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn

Thanks for stopping by

Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails.

G-R-A-M-A-S H-E-R-E

I don't even get completely stopped and you can hear her. She's only seen the new car once and it was dark out that night, yet she knew the second I got there.

G-R-A-M-A-S H-E-R-E-

And then everyone knew!

Makes my heart sing every time I see her.

The accident messed up the holidays a bit. I missed anyone coming over for Christmas and had to reschedule my Birthday date,

Things are taking a while and I'm still not 100% the pain wears me out and I can't do an all day or overnight, with the littler ones.

So , Sunday was Play Date!

I picked up a little cake so we could have birthday cake and coffee with mum and dad. For her birthday, I bought her a beading kit and of course we had to make something. Unicorns were the 'thing' this year. The balloons always win a smile and get played with the most, providing we didn't pop them {ooops}

... board games and doggy doctor were the hits today.

I try to visit my son and daughter in law a bit, while I'm there, but I don't think we ever get a complete conversation finished ... Leaving is the hardest part. She never wants me to go.

I can't wait until spring when I'm 'healed' up and it's much warmer at my place. Over night party with the grand kids!!! I miss them all so much.

My Grandsons are another song in my heart.. I was grandpa for one until 'auntie' corrected him. Sometimes, I still get to be grandpa other times he remembers to say grama. It's so cute.
I wish things would have been a bit different for me around the time he was born.

The oldest Grandson, has been staying with me over the holidays and helping out so much since the accident. He hung out with me Saturday and we made a deal about him spending Sunday, getting his room cleaned up before school Monday. He's my fishing partner and he can't wait til I'm healed up enough... We decided I best not go fishing just yet, in case we caught the big one I wouldn't be able to bring it in with my 'broken bones'.

My daughter bought him the Red Rider BB gun for Christmas, well,
she bought Grama one too, so we are shooting partners now too.

My kids were my world, they still are.

~ all four of them. From the moment I knew I was pregnant, I knew.... and they've had my heart ever since.

Grandbabies the songs in my heart.

Now I live for the moments and memories with the grandkids.
Making plans to go see another 2 here soon... My dancing partners!

I've missed these two! I haven't decided yet what our plans are going to be, my youngest daughter and I spent close to an hour on the phone talking, it was really nice.

So blessed to have most of my grand babies in hugging distance. And be able to pick them up and do things together. My kids didn't have much for grandparents from either side when they were growing up. Grandpa's were the most remembered. I hardly ever got to see my only Gramma when I was young, yet she played a big part in my life.

Great grand babies a reward all their own.

Blessed To have my Great grandson in my life. He gives me such cute smiles. And boy can he giggle.. My Great granddaughter used to recognize me and give me smiles too, but unfortunately, she's been taken from our family for now.

I wish people could see the hurt and damage they've done, to 3 generations.

Children are the future, teach them well.
