Catch up Post #1

It has been a while since I have written anything here, sorry about that. While things have been a bit on the crazy side and very busy, I really haven't made the time because it seems no one reads it anyway. However, that should not matter, I started this blog to record our journey and that is what I shall return to doing.

There is so much to catch up on.

I think we left off just after the floods. Boy are we in a different place now. It has been so very dry ever since the floods that my garden sort of resembles West Texas in August. I had such high hopes for my garden this year, but the weather, the rabbits, and life had other plans. I am still holding out hope for my fall garden though. See, ya just have to keep moving forward. ; )

Remember our monster birds? Yes, well, they were boys! We ended up with two roosters in our flock this time. I posted pics of them. Bully bird is no longer with us, he was mean and would not let the girls have a moment of peace. Pterodactyl boy has changed his name to Lou and he is going to stay with us. I know, that means we will be building yet another home and run!! Our plan is to put Lou up in his own pad to keep him away from the laying hens. Don't worry, we know he needs someone to look after so we are going to move Zelda, Fluffy and possibly Penguin in with him. Ohhhh, you have not met Penguin huh? Oh boy, that is a story unto itself. I will post about her a little later. I had said that I did not want to have a rooster on our property but it is not often you find a sweet one. Lou is such a gentleman and he is so good with the girls. It is fun watching him look after them, and the kids are happy he is hanging around.
