Jared's home!

Jared is back from Europe tonight and will be home through Christmas, and I'm so glad! We have a lot of transition happening right now, and I'm really needing him here to help me get things squared away and make some of the big decisions. Abbey has grown increasingly aggressive due to the fact that she's not fixed yet. We wanted to hold off until she was 3, which she is now, and we're really in no position to be breeding her, so that's one decision I hope doesn't take too long to come to (my opinion: snip snip little one! get ready for head cone pics!)
Also, we need to finish getting the farm stuff buttoned up, and we will definitely need a bigger storage unit if that's the case, but do we stay at the current place, or look for a cheaper/better place elsewhere? decisions decisions...
I hope to get these issues as well as a few others cleared up over the next few weeks...stay tuned!

Another chapter closes

We've put the word out that we're going to be moving off of our farming property. I will be setting up a 'dig day' for the strawberry patch for Sunday (fingers crossed that it doesn't rain!!).

The birds have been a bit more challenging. We only have homes for 8 of the chickens so far.

I'd like to find a foster for the ducks until we can find out own place, but I'm not sure if we can make that happen. I'd just be so sad to see those 3 go! As much as they want me to just leave them alone, they were always more than just 'production' animals in my heart. :(

 I'm trying not to be too sad about it, and as much as I hate being outside when it's cold, I'm going to really miss farming full time and having the animals around, but instead of being bummed, I'm trying to focus on what we want for the future so when we're ready to start looking, we'll know exactly what we want. I'm really excited for what's to come!
