Sorry for the absence of posting, but a lot has been going on. I'll explain in the next post.


In the meantime, the farm is growing. We're still trying to come up with a cute-catchy name, but for now, we're calling it Rock Farm. Oh, for so many reasons! One, there are tons of rock here. If we had been smart, we would have started a rock quarrey and become millionaires. However, as it is, dear hubby has worked several years to move the rock from one side of the property to the other side, trying to level out the farm. The second reason is that we just got 50 baby chicks 2 weeks ago - 25 white leghorns and 25 barred rock - hense the name Rock Farm.

I think at last count we now have, 4 pigs, 6 guineas, 1 game rooster, 1 bantam chicken, 49 baby chicks (1 did not survive), and 2 cats. Our dog (our first adopted family member) of 12 years, is no longer with us. He did live out his final years as a farm dog and loved every minute of it!

We are now looking to add 2 puppies to the family, and trying to find them before Jake's birthday next week. Can you believe he will be 3? We have been so blessed to have our children in our lives!! My heart is going out to all of those waiting to bring their children home and all the turmoil going on in Russia over the accrediation situation.
