It’s been a while, huh? We’ve been working on catching up on all the neglected tasks that the wedding trumped this past summer/ fall. We’re also settling into our new life as husband and wife and making our house even more of a home.
So what stuff have we accomplished since last blogging?
- We’ve FINALLY cleaned up the gardens and put up the tomato cages and such.
- We’ve increased the run area for the chickens and they have finally completed their molt cycle and grown back their feathers. They look much prettier and we’re getting ~8-10 eggs a day (not bad for winter!). They have become couch potatoes with the recent cold weather though. They don’t like to go far from the coup.
- We’ve cut down ~40 trees in our back yard to make it bigger and to set up a better spot for our greenhouse to be put up.
- We’re ripping out the old nasty carpet in our house and replacing it with laminate wood flooring. The living room is complete so far and looks AMAZING. We’re also doing a whole lot of repainting around the house.
- There has been some canning activity in the form of broth and beans.
- We’ve spent lots of time with our cows and I’m happy to say that they actually like us now :) Well they associate us with food anyway!
We’ve also got lots of exciting stuff yet to come and hopefully I’ll have pictures up to share soon.
Is your 2012 off to a good start??

Glad to see you’re back…I’ve been missing your posts! Sounds like you’ve been quite busy! And yes…if the cows have associated you with food, you’ve got it made!
As far as 2012 so far…it’s been a regular maternity ward around here…that makes it interesting, keeping the fresh cows eating and healthy can be challenging sometimes, but for the most part, it’s going well.
I can’t even imagine living on a dairy farm! The dedication and effort you guys put in is so amazing! Good luck and I’ll hope for only healthy babies and mamas at your farm!
I’m glad your back, I was starting to worry about you! Sounds like you’ve been busy though. Finally starting to get used to having two babies! ; )
Two adorable babies
It’s always nice when life starts to settle into a routine!
Glad to hear from you. It certainly does sound like you’ve been very busy. All this on top of working. Hope you are finding some time to relax as well. My year has been way better than 2011 so far!
So glad you’re back! Can’t wait to hear more about everything (especially since I think this is the year Joe and I are going to start a mini garden… or at least try to keep up with the landlord’s garden!)!
