Novemeber 2011 God blessed us with a beautiful 3 acre farmette to rent. It has a big barn, a big meadow and a nice garage.
Its on a semi quiet country road on a hillside,overlooking a beautiful valley. We can sit on our deck and see for miles and miles.
We had 2 golden retrievers we brought with us. Izzie and Marley... a couple cats that later ran away...
In Decemember we bought a dozen hens. A couple weeks later we got another dozen. Another couple weeks later 6 more... We also got one rooster to fertilize our eggs.
In January we purchased Rosa... our beautiful, grassfed jersey cow. We gives us amazing milk and all the good things that come with having raw milk.
The kids got a pregnant mini horse for Christmas. Brownie is our lovable Momma, due in July.
When our mice problem got overwhelming, we got Lulu the cat from the local animal health store.... Lulu is a little loony but she loves mice so we love her.
A couple weeks ago, Blackie and Minnie, two medium kitties showed up at the back door....
That completes our zoo.
Oh except for April, the neighbors mini horse that comes to enjoy our pastures a couple times a week....
This is my dream. To teach my kids to be self sufficient. To teach them responsibility. To work with them and to build a strong foundation for generations to come.
