I got through the funeral services without too much heartbreak. I'm gonna miss her so much, she was so dear to me. Thank you all for your warm thoughts and hugs, it means a lot.

In animal news - our guinea keets are growing up so fast. There are 3 lavenders and 2 pearls. One of the pearls is a "daddy's boy" hanging out with the male guinea and roosting with him every night. So cute.

Our little duckling isn't so little anymore. She (think it's a girl) is almost as big as her mama. We call her Quackers.

The chick that our mama chicken hatched a while back has integrated into one of our flocks with her mama. She's so pretty. I'll have to try to get pics of everyone so y'all can see them.

In family news - K just turned 9. She is growing up so fast! She acts like a teenager already. I just wish she'd slow down for a minute. *sigh*

B is doing well in school this year. None of the behavioral problems that we experienced last year. We're pleased to say that he's not had to have one intervention at school this year!

DH loves his job at Harvest, the local foods store that sells my products. I'm now doing jams / jellies, baked goods and teas. On top of that I'm trying to keep writing and staying busy with the kids and farm.

Just thought I'd share some of my favorite pics as I reminisce over some of my critters.


This is Maggie Maehem. She was such a princess, always had to be the center of attention.

Jerry loved his goat kids and allowed them to play on him all they wanted. Precious took full advantage of that and played king of the mountain...err llama any time she could.

And who could forget Scottie, my first and only bottle baby.

LOL at Ms. Flufferbottom. My boys named their fave chicken Mr. Skinnyhead. I didn't have the heart to tell them Mr. Skinnyhead was a Miss Skinnyhead LOL. :lol:
