The Wood Farm

So the farm may be renamed to the wood farm only because for the past few days, when it wasn't raining, Tim and George qhave been busy cutting up the fallen trees.  There were quite a few and they have all been big trees so there has been a lot of wood to be had.  George has a log splitter which makes it a bit easier to take care of the logs.  Along with the trees on the farm there has been a couple trees that have fallen on our road.  Tim and George have been responsible for those too.  Way to go Tim and George.  Check out the wall of wood!

New Life At The Farm

Our wren is being very productive with its second batch of eggs.  The strange thing is that the same nest is being used. Wrens will build four or five nests then choose from there which one to use.  This year the same nest has been used twice but then again where the nest is located is a very safe place.  It is on top of one of the lights on the tool shed under the porch roof.  It will not have to deal with any weather, wind or predators.  I guess this wren is pretty smart after all.  Four eggs and waiting!

Happy Memorial Day

Today we honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice that we may be free.  It takes a special kind of person who is willing to give their life for our country and its citizens.  Thank you, you will not be forgotten! To all those celebrating the holiday, be safe out there.

Happy Birthday Jenny!

Tim and I were truly blessed the day Jenny was born.  Today is her birthday and not only is it her birthday but it is her special birthday.  She has turned 28 on the 28th!  Not a lot of people care about "thee" special birthday but I have always thought it was special and celebrate it just a bit more. 
Happy Birthday Jenny!  You mean so much to dad and I and we can't love you enough.  You are fantastic, loving, smart, beautiful, and caring.  We love you and hope you have a wonderful birthday and I am extra happy to be with you on your special day.  We love you! Happy Birthday Jen!

Preparing The Orchard

As the seeds that were planted, just about a month ago, there was some prep work that went into the orchard before planting could be done.  One major project that Tim and George worked on was taking down all the trellises that was put up quite a while ago.  It was there to help the Kiwi grow and kiwi did grow but never had any fruit.  George decided to take the trellises down since he was going to give up on the kiwi and it would make working around the beds easier especially for tilling and mowing.  Now that it is gone and just the pavilion was left up it looks good and it will make it a lot easier to work around the beds.  Nice job guys!

May SAS Door Prizes

It's Door prize time again for my sister's May SAS that happened last week end.  Now that it is over I can reveal the door prizes I made for her.  Each person that attends her SAS got to choose one of the four door prizes.  The most popular one was  the Birthday adventure (the ones with the little girl, baker, etc).  That is a brand new set from the new catalog that will be available shortly.  A lot of work and days goes into making the door prizes but I am always happy to help my sister out.  So glad the May SAS went well.  Way to go Pam! 👍🏻

Designer Jeans - Farm Style

There was a story on the news the other day about high fashioned jeans that looks like they have been worked in at a construction site or farm.  The thing is to buy a pair it costs $200 to $500 dollars.  Well if you are interested in a pair I can get them discount or it could be a dyi project; your choice!  All you have to do is let us know whether you want a pair for $50 or do it yourself.  Tim is very good at creating these high fashion jeans especially the hard way; working!  Or you could come to the farm and put in a day's work and create your own high fashioned jeans.  Either way, you can have the latest style in jeans at a discount price!
