Ice makes some of the best subjects for pix. I like frost to. When you get a heavy one.
Good pix!

I am back on after being off for a few days, been very busy around here!
Tonight at 12:00 a new year begins for us fellow Alaskans and my first new year in AK.
This last year has been good, interesting, and hard. On Sep-16 I left the only part of the world I had known (OREGON). I left most of my friends, part of my moms side of the family, my goats, my home to start a new life in AK with family I didn't know that well and hardly any friends. I didn't know what to expect when moving here. I had an Idea of what it was going to be like although It has been nothing like I expected, it has not been easy to fit into life in a small town, living on some one else's property, living in a small place with not my own land to run on and do what we want, not knowing what we are going to do next, I am sure you are starting to get it. I learned one very important lesson thru all this, I always have never been good with trusting God thru things, well thru all this I have learned a whole deal of things on having to trust God thru the easy and the hard things. All thru this process from selling the house to papa being not well, I have been thru a learning process of how to trust God. I have missed my animals not getting up at 7:30 every morning to milk goats, not being able to run the field with my siblings, feeding chickens everyday and checking eggs with all the different colours, it has not been easy but God has been faithful. There was a point when I told the Lord, I was never going to leave my home, animals, and friends, well God was going to be putting thru a test on that. What did I do, I left my friends, home, animals, and home anc thru this it has caused me to look to God! I am very, very thankful! I am going to be the sister to 7 instead of 6 siblings in July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not sure what this new year has for us but I do know God is going to be with us!
May all you have a blessed new year!

Lovely pictures!

You might want to hold off on celebrating the new year until TOMORROW night though. Unless Alaska uses a different calendar than the rest of the USA.

I was not sure if I would have time to write out a what I wanted to post tomorrow evening, so here it is. No we don't use a different calendar but there will be lots of stuff going on today!

@Baymule this photo is for you! Duck tape is the BEST! View attachment 26775


It has been snowing all day long and we got 2-feet of on top of the 13 inches we had left.



I have been shoveling for a bit now and came in to warm up and thought I would update.


I changed the name of my journal because I got to think it is our journey to farming since we don't have a farm yet so I changed the name.


I have been busy, busy, busy so haven't had time to do much on here as far as writing out long things.


My aunt came flew in yesterday with her daughter and son that I have never met so going to see them in a bit...maybe?. We are blocked in by 3-feet snow and can't get out for a bit...oh well!


Well, we are selling the building and buying a cabin (I don't know how many times we have switched). I am excited about the cabin and how easy it is going to be to build it!


Naomi and sugar are looking like they may kid in the next month. This will be Naomi's third-freshening and Sugar is going to be an FF this year. I am really excited to see what this girl has, she is wonderful in every way and should be an awesome milker and mom. Stella and Sophie are not my does anymore but they are still my baby's and they are doing well. I can't forget my boys Leader and Tasty, they are well.


We found a transportation for the goats for the end of September! I am super excited! We are having Leader, Tasty, Naomi, Sugar, and 2 ADGA registered does along with a Kiko buckling and 3 Kiko does bring with them. That will mean we will have 10 goats.


I am going out with my camera in a bit to get some good pics of the snow.


Oh, I forgot to say there is more snow coming every second.
