We have moved

Well we kinda have moved.We have the basics at the farm and are slowly moving the rest over.We have been so happy since moving here.The property is great,so peaceful.You can sit on the deck and watch the lighting bugs in the field,listen to the frogs.
The house even though small is great.There is a song that says something about"love grows best in little houses with few walls to separate" and I believe it is true.We will build once we re-build our funds up,but for now we are happy .
We have added to our "family" we now have 31 chickens 24 Aruacanas,6 Barred Rock and 5 Guineas as well as 2 billy goats.The goats are 2 1/2 months old and are a boer/pigmy mix.Roscoe is brown and white and Cheava is white.They need more handling to get them tame but we will work on it.We are going to start tieing them out in the pasture to help eat it down.We can not wait to get some cows , pigs, and horses.I think we will be complete then.
I also am looking for some fruit trees to plant so that we will have fresh fruit.I can not wait until next year when we can have a garden.Our neighbor has been great he has given us tomatoes,green onions,squash and the biggest heads of cabbage I have ever  seen!! They are bigger than Samuel(our any child that age) head!! We are cooking them for dinner tomorrow with sausage.
I cannot wait until we no longer have to go to the store for our food.It will be so nice eating things that you know are fresh and are not genetically modified or pumped full of hormones.
I will post pics soon(as soon as I find my usb cord)

Our new farm!!!

Well GOD has his plans for us and sometimes we are not sure what they are ,BUT he provided a 10 ac. piece of land for us.It has a trailer on it and it will be more like camping out at least until we get the house built.There is already a foundation there to start building on,so again we are very lucky,very blessed!

There is barn there and corral fencing as well as a hog/cow pasture,a pond and a creek in the very back of it.

We are so happy.We are picking up our first set of chickens in the morning and calling about some goats we saw on craigslist.

I can not wait to be out there completely.We have spent the last 2 days out there mowing and still have another 2-3 days to go.The grass is very high and very thick,so we are having to go over it 2-3 times to get it short enough.

This is the view from the road going to the farm.I need a better picture though because this one does not do the view and justice.





Our barn and the foundation for the new house







The property goes 1.5 ac. into the wood you see in the back.
