From Town to Country: A Wife's Tale

• Thursday, May 15, 2008 - Nice Day

Posted in Farm

Today I spent the afternoon (it was a beautiful warm day) in a classroom recertifying my CPR.  Oh sure, a dry warm day and that's the day I have class.  Oh well.

We also let Jackie and her kids into the barnyard/pasture this evening.  Those poor kids didn't know what to think.  Our shetlands were very curious and I was surprised at how close Jackie let them get to her kids.  She went after Wilbert when he came in for a sniff.  LOL 

Rich also set up a small pen for my turkeys.  The orginal 3 I got last month keep flying out of their box so it's time to move to the barn.  The other 7 young'ens are doing fine.  I will move the older ones tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Theresa is coming to pick up her rabbits.  I'll be very happy to have the extra cage space with those 24 little ones, I'm going to need it!  LOL

Time to get ready for bed.

About Me

We've been working on the family farm for 3 years trying to get it back to a working farm. The farm was neglected for 15+ years before we took it on. The summer of 2008 is our family's first experience living in the country, so began our journey from town to country...
