Happy New Year Everyone! Off to see “Journey”

Happy New Year Everyone! Off to see “Journey” (cover band) with my bestie cousin and head home early because I’m a nerd. 😅

Looks like we have a new layer in the flock! Soon

Looks like we have a new layer in the flock!
Soon this basket will be adorned with cream, dark brown and more green eggs.🤞I’ve been raising up about 16 pullets and they are finally just about ready to start laying!
But I just realized that now that my goats are dried up and I’m out of kefir, I need to start adding fish meal and other amendments to my chicken feed recipe.
In addition to the kelp They get, I’m thinking about adding freeze dried liver powder instead of buying the standard synthetic vitamin supplement.
Anybody else avoiding folic acid and sticking with folate from real food? We have a high probability for the MTHFR gene mutation in our family, and I don’t want synthetic folic acid in our eggs. And I need to remember that any inputs will end up in the garden 🤔... .

After several days of growing anticipation we finally got to make this dark chocolate #cake with fluffy nostalgic 7 minute frosting. As the girls all took their first bite, their faces instantly revealed that I had made a mistake. After tasting it myself, I realized that I had overestimated the amount of vanilla by a lot, and the whole thing tasted like rubbing alcohol. #momblunders 🤣😂🤣😂. Thank goodness we had plenty of ice cream on hand. 😬

And oddly enough, yes that is a water distiller in the background. 😬 I’ve heard you can get about %30 more extraction from your herbs by using distilled water over purified. I do it all for the goats 🐐. Lol. {to make their wormer stronger} .

A new Christmas tradition has been born. Rolled out of bed and realized the sugar cane was ready to harvest :)) It’s every bit as amazing as I had imagined.
A few days ago my oldest told me that the farm was pointless. I told her I would soon prove her wrong. #momwon today.

This image filled my heart today.
The very beginning of our homestead journey {5 years ago}. A little scared and full of HOPE.
Now reflecting back there’s some bitter and sweet. Our kids and this place are blossoming beautifully. But it’s also time to let go just a little bit more, and let my kids experience more and feel all the feels. I’m not so good at that. I’m more grateful for every little moment that I have with them.
I’ve certainly learned a lesson or 73.
As fall approaches, we’re in another cycle of un-surity and hope. This week marks the end of our milk for the next 7 months, paired with the first successful goat breeding {I hope} of the season.
As a side note, this is our first year keeping bucks and so far I am actually loving it!
Despite our many failures we are moving into fall with momentum and joy. And I hope you are too.🍁 #regenerativeagriculture #antiquetractor #parenthood #seasonschange #seasonsofgrowth #seasonsofsacrifice #growthmindset🌱 #regeneration #farmlife #farmher #joyandpain #sunshineandrain #pumpitupnow
