So Much Spring ...

Ahhh.... spring is everywhere.

Birds are grabbing their nesting materials ...


We have the most adorable spring goats that we are bottle feeding ...



We have ordered 8 chicks to add to our chicken coop...


Hubby is building new outbuildings everywhere to add to our homesteading collection ...


And the seeds we planted not so long ago are soon going to be ready for planting (photo to follow).

Last year my spring was filled with selling our home, moving, readying our new home, enjoying "city" life here in Bangor. But I think this year, I am going to spend it enjoying a bit of country life on the 16 acres that we enjoy just outside of the city ... adding animals, gardening, designing new projects for Halis, etc.

Even my Dad is getting the farming bug. He wants to buy a pony this spring. For what? I don't know. I believe in farming animals that offer me something in return. A pony? Only if he can make me some money by giving pony rides! That is the only way you will catch me shoveling his sh*t. (In case you are wondering - the goats are for milking).

Well, hope you are enjoying spring as well! It feels good, doesn't it?


Love,
Jodi

Beautiful photo's, Jodi! I love the little goat. We raised goats when I was a teenager and there is nothing so fun as watching those sweet little guys jumping and frolicking. Some day I definately want goats again. Yes, and a pony...

Goats are great for grazing too. Nature's little lawnmowers.
