Is that the uncle that died recently?

I've not had to deal with bumblefoot but from what I've read it is treatable in many cases. I'm sure you will get her back to health.
Yes, He told his brother and sisters we were to move into the house.

I am sure I can.

Hard loss :hugs but isn't it great that he loved your family so much that he provided the property that you need to meet your goals?

Tasty Acres Homestead

Been to long again... I need to remember this journal, lol.

So be freaking busy, but God have been good!

We move 9/24/17. :weee We went and looked at the cabin yesterday and it is perfect for us while we fix up the Homestead. It is right across the road from us so that is nice!

Today we went to the Homestead to pick raspberries and take care of the chickens... The chickens are a total mess, severe leg mites, lice, bubble foot, etc, so I started treating them today and see how it goes... There are 52 of them.  :th

There are cuckoo Marans, barred rocks,. White Plymouth rocks, Rhode Island reds, Delawares, Easter Eggers, etc... Very beautiful Flock.... And i am letting a Hen hatch out eggs.

Turkeys are another problem on there own.... All in terrible condition but hopefully they can also get back to health with a little tlc.

The barn on the property is perfect... I went to check it out today and saw so much potential, lol... Anyway, it already has stalls for animals... Just right own they are filled with stuff, lol. But it has a area for a milking parlor, and lots of feed/hay storage.

We are going to tear down the chicken barn once a new one is built and put a new pole barn there... For the chickens.

Dad has decided to go full out farming by next year! :celebrate

It is a new chapter in life and hopefully a good one!

And I also am getting my uncles dog! Yay! She is a mutt and Needs a lot of training but she is sweet and a brat, lol.

:weee:weee:weee

When God closes a door, He opens another.

Your family has been blessed and sound like a family who appreciates all they have and will help repay by being good stewards of the land and animals provided. Teach your siblings to respect and learn about animals & farming. Each could be given a "project" with the responsibilities to go with it. Small gardens, rabbits, chickens, etc.

I look forward to pictures and progress reports!! Enjoy the hard work ahead, as I know you will.

Yes, He does! Even tho I will admit I did not see how blessed we were during this time of trial. Sadly.

2years ago when we had goats, chickens, a garden, etc, we always had our own chores... Even tho sometimes we didn't want them, lol... So far all the kids are happy about it.
