Today I was able to cross many things off my to do list. Together with my mini-me, I got 2 potato towers completed. SEE THE FULL STORY AND PHOTOS ON MY GARDENING & OUTDOOR PAGE. I am always excited when I can use the rich soil we collect from the manure pile here on the farm. It is a rich blend of alpaca, goat & sheep manure, dirt and old hay…the outcome is a rich black soil.
I also put a fence up protecting our soon-to-be-sprouting grapes from the turkeys, prepped another garden space for planting kale, rotated the bantam eggs, cleaned the 6 new chicks lodgings and finished another upcycled kids apron.
☕️ In true mommy fashion. ..my day was broken up with meals, laundry, cleaning and meeting with the plumber to try to figure out why our water pressure has dropped.

Day 2 in the incubator.
8 days until we candle them….fingers crossed that we have a bunch of bantam chicks on the way!!

Where to begin…

We live on a piece of land in Western North Carolina that I call paradise.

I love to grow food, try new recipes and make mistakes.

We have a small menagerie of farm animals including ducks, chickens, turkeys, goats, alpaca and sheep.

I have homeschooled my 2 children and step-son on and off for 14 years.

My 14 yr old son was born with a cleft lip and palate.It has been a challenging journey through surgeries and the need to be my sons #1 advocate to get the best care he can get.

We love to create, hatch new ideas and I love to see my kids and my ideas bloom.

🌸 Thank you for sharing in my journey of new experiences and learning from mistakes.
