Tail Spin Farm in Pictures


 
I have been inspired by fellow bloggers like Terri at Our Crazy Farm and Jenna at Cold Antler Farm who put a ton of beautiful pictures on their blog. My Dad is an awesome photographer and my Mother-in-love owns her own photography studio, I thought it was time to step up to the plate. We have been in the midst of "The Plague 2010" for the last four weeks. I am still feeling lousy, but sometimes there is nothing better than to go out in the morning, with a fresh layer of snow, to do chores and take some photos. That is exactly what I did this morning.

 The boys.  The tall one is the Eldest's friend that spent a week of his college break with us.  You can see from Eldest's expression that he was not happy to see him leave that day:(

    You made my day Renee! Thanks for the sweet comment about the pics:)) I have been suffering with The Plague (LOL) here, too, and it really had me down today so this was a nice boost! Loved all the pictures! So fun to see your farm critters~ what kind of rooster is that big black and white one? He's a beauty! We raised turkeys one year and ended up with 50# birds at Thanksgiving that had to be cut apart to fit into our stove~ lots of meat for the freezer that year. Love the boots, and the table,and the quilt, and those goofy boys! Looks like a great bunch of good buddies!

Friday on the Farm ~ My Crazy Life

Image
I am pretty sure reality TV shows are birthed out of lives like mine. Over the last four years we have gutted and remodeled a huge portion of our farmhouse, graduated three children from homeschool, became foster parents to four children under 2 years old, started a daycare to continue care for two of these kiddos and expanded the daycare to include others that are in our care still today. All the while keeping up with our small farm, Hubby's day job changing and growing and his radio ministry continuing. Crazy. There really is no other word that explains it better. Somewhere along the way I lost parts of myself that I truly love. Simple things like baking and cooking, making things, crocheting and knitting, even my spinning of yarn from our animals became tedious because there was always something else. God has a way of answering prayers in the least likely of ways. Yup, that is a lock box. Yup, we're selling the farm. In the last 6 weeks we spotted a lake house for sale ...

Goat Alarm

Tripp and Tiberius and Momma Most farmers have roosters that let them know it is time to get up.  Not us, we picked goats.  That silly face staring at you is Robin.  She is one of the six goats that live here at Tail Spin Farm.  She is my alarm clock these days.  If I am not out to feed them before 5:45 a.m. she lets me know it is time at 5:46.  She has also taught the "new guys on the block", Tripp and Tiberius how things work so they have now joined her in her early morning tirade of goat song. I wouldn't mind it so much, except for the neighbors who live pretty close to us (we do all our "farming" on an acre!).  I would hate for there to be an issue in regards to this.  So I continue my early morning trip out to the barn hoping to beat her up.  I am just waiting for the hot days of summer and knowing that both neighbors have central air and their windows will be shut tight and I won't have to worry so much about waking someone earl...
