Around the farm March 30, 2008
I thought I would fill you in on life here at placid farm.
It isn’t the most exciting, but it sure is relaxing and beautiful.
The kids just love to spend time with the grandparents.
We are trying to keep our garden small this year. We have only planted a few things. Last year we over did it and ended up having our garden demolished by squash bugs.
We also have so much going on at the church that it is very hard to keep up with the daily work in the garden and our hectic schedule.
We do have a new batch of chicks in. We lost our last hens to some local wildlife while they were out free ranging it.
The boys are so excited to see them growing.
We are really looking forward to fresh eggs in the fall. We will definitely be sharing the love with people come September.
We had a visitor on Saturday. He sure looked harmless, but not harmless enough.
I took this picture from a distance.
Robin found another one in our barn last week. Hopefully they will make their homes somewhere beside our back porch.
That’s it for now. We are just enjoying this lovely weather and spending lots of time outside!
What the heck was that bug?
Is that a bat? I love that picture with the kids and grandad!
Nasty! Is that a bat? yuck.
So- Jude and Avery could pass as twins in this picture! Too cute.
Haha… the shirtless wonders! =) True ranchers.

What killed your last chickens? I have been thinkning that I might me needing to build a real chicken run! they are sure making a mess of things around the front. Plus i am worried about something getting them.
