Tuesday on Tail Spin Farm

It is a chilly day here in Mid-Michigan.  We are still remodeling, but are getting closer to the end.  The wood floors go in tomorrow and after that cupboards!  I will be one happy woman when that day comes!  Here is what we are up to today:

Weeding (yes there is a neglected garden out back!)
 We finally we able to get the landscaping around the house done this weekend! 


 The girls are out across the road right now picking mulberries.  We are going to try mulberry jam after lunch!
 The bridge across the ditch that my son made many years ago...I love that little thing!
 Our new rabbits are finally in their new home.  A deluxe rabbit tractor.  They were quite happy this morning!
 I have gotten the primer on the walls in the spare room
 The walls and ceilings are all painted! It is hard to see the color here, but it is a light yellow/beige.  I love it~
 This is what I have looked like the last few days.

    LOL...I love the picture of your painterly feet and hand! We just finished worming and vaccinating the entire flock of sheep, so what I am covered in is not quite so good ;D In fact, I really shouldn't even be sitting here a the desk but needed a glass of iced tea...no to the shower and clean clothes! New bunnies look happy, by the way ;D

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...
