Little House in the Valley

Hurry up Spring!

My goodness it's been a long time since I've actively blogged here! I think there's dust collecting on my entries *grin* Last week we had some absolutely beautiful days with sunshine and warm air and I could just feel spring around the corner.... and then the cold dreary days returned :)

It was enough to get me motivated and out of the winter blahs though. I've got my seed catalogues out and am figuring out how I want my new raised bed (soon to be made) planted, how many chicks to order for both layers and meat, getting the barn cleaned up for the new calves, dreaming of the milk cow I'm hoping to get this year and looking into pigs. That should keep me busy for the next month until I'm ready to put all my plans into motion!

How about you? Do you have lots of plans for this spring?

Blessings,

Oh yes do I ever have a list! I will be growing (tryingTo) for the farmer's market his year (first time) and am trying to get that going. The garden will need really worked on for that purpose! I too had dreamed of the cow but decided that it would be to expensive both to buy and to feed so went with dairy goats except we are now also getting sheep from our friends, ( I had wanted sheep some time so when we went to see the goats I really liked her sheep , they are heritage breeds and that is what I try to raise of all animals.) so now we are getting 2 lambs too. So I don't know how well the cost works out! LOL We have the barn to cleanout from a storage area and turn it into a real barn ( much to dh dismay , it was suppose to be his garage) And fencing to get up and I really want to get birds for meat this year. Oh yes I have enough to keep me running !
I enjoyed your blog you should write more often!
