Heat Wave, Go To The Beach!

We had a minor heat wave this week and it just so happened during our planned trip to the beach for my daughter Morganna's, 12th birthday! Happy Birthday sweet girl! Shane took charge of the garden, sheep, and the rest of the farm while we've been gone, but not much was looking like vast changes before we left anyway. It was also Shane's daughter Constance's birthday last week so we made a trip down to Lacomb to celebrate it on Sunday the 14th. Morganna was on a trip with her dad and didn't get to go, but I bet she was having a blast with him! Enjoy! Amy

Progress: Raised Beds & Chickens

This past week there's been stormy weather that produced tons of fires in the mountains, Garden first harvests/plantings, and some Chicken updates! Enjoy! Amy

Thank Goodness That’s Over….But Wait…

We had a week of mid to upper 90's and even 100 last week. It cooled down this week, but this weekend has a small stretch of 90's again.... Just one more month...one more month....one more month... Enjoy! Amy

Taming the Jungle

More of the lawn got mowed this past weekend! The backyard looks so much bigger when the grass is under control. So MANY Garter Snakes out there! Some work was done in the garden too and we went on some small excursions. Enjoy! Amy
