Here are some highlights:
- The water trough pipe broke which meant we turned off the water for a night because we were worried that it was leaking so much; farm family helped fix it!
- We met several rat snakes in the chicken coop. Some we rehimed and some escaped while we were "observing" them.
- The favorite farm chore in feeding the cows cattle cubes.
- We experienced a farm flood. Taft was able to kayak on the flood waters. We all watched in awe as the waters swept through and had fun playing in it. We lost a big branch on a tree by the garden. We also lost a chicken.
- We got 6 baby chicks. One died the first day so then we got two more baby chicks. They lived inside until they broke their bonds and poop was getting out of the boundaries. They were moved outside to the bigger coop. We unfortunately lost 2 more to a bird of prey. We were sad at their loss.
- We reached a hummingbird during our fallen branch storm clean up. It has survived 24+ hours on sugar water, crushed mill worms and baby chick feed fed tomit by Taft with a syringe.
Everyday is something new. I always want to record and share everything. It's kind of like having a newborn and as they grow you think everything is amazing and wonderous. We are having an experience and though sometimes it is overwhelming, I just love it! I am so thankful we have this time here to connect to the world God has given us.
