After a long week..........

All I want to do is nothing, but living on a farm that doesn't get to happen...I was able to stay in bed this morning until 6:45....very nice...I get to milk the cow which is going well and do the chicken chores. It is fun to see how they are growing.

This past week we moved a friend....that made a couple of days really long but it all went well.

I am starting to sell every animal that I have extra, that is a nice thing. I have all the incubators as full as I can get them...time to get the other ones going.

This was just a quick update....now time for your regular programming

A Meal Plan....

We are eating way to late.....I hate it.

So I am going to make a plan for the next few days, need to start doing this because this summer I am going to be to busy. If I start this now, it will be easier to do later.....

So for the rest of the week this is the plan...

Wednesday----Pizza and Salad

Thursday---Moving a friend so will be on the road....I will pack snacks

Friday ---Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Veggies, Roll (need to get the turkey out now!!!)

Sat---Something with Turkey

Looking at this, it should be easy to get to Sunday....and it really only took about 5 minutes to do
I will work on lunches later

Cows and Chickens.....

Well...here we have been working on milking the cow for the past two weeks or so, we built a milking stand for the cow.....you might have heard about ones for goats but this one is for cows. It gets them up higher so they are easier to milk.Also, it holds in my momma cow, once she is in it, she like to be milked but before that...you can't get near her.

Today we cleaned up the cow pens, when we needed to do the other side I moved Bella into the first side with the stand in it. She went right in to the stand and just stood there like she knew what she was doing. So I gave her a treat and locked her in, she really didn't have much trouble, which is really great. I hope to get her used to if before I try to milk her, unlike the other way around this time.

Update on the chickens...my batch of chickens to make eggs to hatch for meat birds is coming along nicely, they are 5 weeks old. Everyone that is old enough is laying like crazy, the incubators are full and babies are hatching. When I write it all down it makes me happy that so much of it is going on. Just last week, I got a huge incubator, it isn't up and running with eggs yet,but holds temp. I need to get a turning system for the eggs and a place to put it, it is the size of a 12 cu ft fridge. I wonder how many eggs it will hold. Here is a picture of some of the newest babies...
