Hi, all! After a short, busy summer, we are now (mostly) back on a regular blogging schedule. We’ve been a bit quiet here on the blogging front as we are trying to establish our farm and spend time together as a family.
If you follow me on Instagram or TiKToK, you already have seen some of this.
1. On the farm front

We have grown our backyard flock to five chickens. I definitely want more of them- I have developed a liking to silkie chickens. Look at those little fluffy butts! They’re too cute for words.

Our squash is done, our lettuce is done, and our corn and cucumbers never did a thing! We are still getting some delicious watermelons, banana peppers and tomatoes. We already have started seeds for our fall garden and greenhouse.

We are also adding some raised bed gardens to our farm…look for more on that this week.
On the home front

You have the most adorable family! 🥰
Thank you! 🙂
What a great summer you’ve had! Isn’t it funny how quickly we can become attached to chickens. Do the silkies lay? I’m not familiar with them but they are adorable.
The silkies have just started laying. They’re such sweet tempered chickens.
