Sorry to make you miss it, but you know you can always come visit. The chicken business just seemed like a good deal. You know I've always wanted to be home on the farm. I'll tell you though in the last 2 weeks since I quit my job it has been kind of lonely. I miss seeing some of the people. Come visit soon! We miss you! Michelle & kids,

Looks like you have been very busy. The addition to the log cabin is great. The kids are getting so big, pretty, and handsome. What made you decide to become chicken farmers? I do miss fresh eggs, ya think ya could ship them to me? Please? The double wide looks nice too with the view and everything. I see you have new toys to play in the dirt with. Looks like your animal population as multiplied x three. Wish all of you great success lots of love and money. sincerely, city folk I loved all the pictures only now I miss it down there even more.

NO, I am NOT a horse trainer..I just store the knowlegde I have watched/experiance and apply it to my own horse. Or, IF, someone ASKS for help, otherwise, I just bite my tongue and pray they do NOT get hurt! Of course it is MUCH easier to HELP than it is to do it on a daily basis!! If the trainer pissed me off.....I just would tell him, FINE.....I'm going HOME!! To my concrete world! Thanksgiving Turkey is such a GREAT supper since I get it fresh!! Also, people do not realize that the eggs they buy in the grocery store are on average 3 MONTHS OLD!!! So, where I board now, I supply the feed and clean the coop, just so I can have the eggs FRESH!!! YUMMY!! There is more than enough for my family AND for the stable I board at!! Nothing like cracking a FRESH egg, the yoke is so rich.....almost an orange in color....vs the light yellow the grocery store sells!! Thank you for the smiles......and sorry I babble too much......just enjoying your blog!! God bless you and your family. Brooke Joel,

It came up on top blogs once, I believe. Since it had the word "Farm" in the title, it was a grabber! My mom and dad were both raised on small farms, Ohio and Colorado, respectively, and mother ran a little two acre farm for small animal meat and a preserving and fresh edibles, fruit and vegetables, gardens. She was really a lover of seeds and could root or make cuttings of most things, soft or woody. Her granddaugher seed savers are a tribute to her. My DDs enjoy reading your blog and about your family as well. Well, thanks again for taking the time to blog about your life. We all wish you the very best. Your blog is a real joy to read.

I'm kind of partial to Ky too. Been all over and always say there is no place like home. Again thanks for reading! Kevin, Turns out they took Madisons device out and don't have to put it back in. Haven't seen her with her thumb in her mouth since. Go ahead and take the plunge. Think of all you could do with that new red toy! Dean, Glad to have you reading! My neighbor here is a retired union machinist from Colombus. My how the city is changing. Keep checking back! Thanks for the compliments. Matt, Thanks for reading! Hope you can get out of that concrete jungle someday and experience this life for yourself. Brooke, I try, but I'm not perfect by any means. There is certainly a difference in taste in store bought and farm fresh. I wonder how many people have never eaten farm fresh foods. I don't see why a woman couldn't be a rancher/farmer. Hire somebody to help for the jobs you need the extra strength on. It isn't easy, but I love doing this. My hope is someday to be able to do only this! Thanks for reading and be sure to check back!

You are exactly what the Great American People live and thrive on!!! I am here in So. CA..I have a horse that I board for 250. a month, because he has the start of ringbone and needs shavings in his stall. People here (boarding facilities) refuse to put shavings in a stall unless it is in a barn. So, I pay for a 12x12 indoor barn with shavings and a 12x12 outside. UGH....to ME that seems a LOT of money......but I don\'t live in Orange Co. If I did it would be over 400. a month!!! Anyway, I get from my shoer my yearly Turkey for Thanksgiving!! His two kids raise them for \"show\" and then they sell them to local ppl..........I put my request in for a turkey.......and OMG!!! I will NEVER EVER eat a frozen turkey again!! YUMMY!! But, its funny, his oldest daughter when I see her always asks me if I want to SEE my turkey!! She has been brought up where they raise their own food, etc......I tell her umm no.....Katie.....thanks anyway, but Im a city girl.....I would rather NOT see my food walking around alive, LOL!!!! I give all farmers credit for what they do, I know its not an easy life.........very hard, depending on the rain, sun, etc..........keep your chin up. Thanks for your blog......honestly....it makes me feel a bit \"stupid\"......for all my \"bitching\" about everyday life.........its nothing compared to what YOU and your family go thru!!! THANK YOU!!! P.S. I hope that came out right......I just know that the American Farmers......have a very rough life. And honestly, I always wanted to BE one of them!!! But, I cant cook LOL LOL!!! Make great biscuits though!! :) I worked with a horse trainer for about 10 yrs......he always told me IF I was a MAN, I would be a great Rancher........I never took offence to it....he meant that I just dont have the strength.
