An Update 'Bout The Homestead...

Well, things have been mostly the same here. Today the weather took a wonderful turn and it's about 60 outside right now. In the Land of the Indians, you can't be sure what the weather will be like until it's here! It's nut up here.

Milking Update -
I am milking Keci at night now. We aren't feeding Wilbur at night; only in the morning. She gives about 21/2 to 3 cups of milk at a milking, compared the 11/2 cups that my other milker, Bella, gives. Amena is giving about 2/3 to 1 cup of milk, but her doeling, Flopsy, is still with her and I think she is still letting her nurse.

Chicken Update -
The chickens still aren't laying more that one to two eggs a week. So we are having to buy organic eggs every week to have eggs. I don't like that at all. I loved going down with a basket and collecting eggs, farm fresh, not store bought.

Momma said we may need to be getting some new chickies soon to start a new flock and butcher these ones. There are some of the hens that are as big as the roosters, ok, alost as big. But they are big. I would love to get some ducks when we get new chickies. We'll have to see tho.

Wilbur Update -
The office I'm afraid, is becoming the animal-hospital room. I have my bunny in there, and now Wilbur, and the cat goes in there whenever she wants. Poor Jocelyn has to sit at her computer in there. Sometimes it smels bad in there because of Wilbur, and then his box needs to be changed. Hopefully, that will soon change...

Garden Update -
Well, I can't tell you about plants growing because there is no plants growing. haha. But here is a list of the vegetables I would love to plant and tend next year when we do our garden -

Posted by HandmaidenAlli

Every year we do gardens. We are hoping to a few more gardens this coming year. We always grow cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, green peppers, lettuce. This year we just planted strawberries, watermelons, cabbage(died, somethings eating it), carrots( we planted these a little to late), chives.

Daddy wants to grow our own "popcorn". Mom wants to plant some blackberry bushes. I want my own flower garden and continue our herb garden.
