Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. I have not blogged in awhile, I started a website for our hobby farm. I have been busy with that, the kids and the animals of course! I am milking on goat, Joli Lune. She is a Nigerian Dwarf Goat. I go out around 6:30 in the morning and feed the animals and by 7:15 am I am ready to get Joli on the milking stand. It is very relaxing and fulfilling milking my own goat for milk for our own use! I thought eggs were awesome from the chickens and ducks. But how cool is our own Milk??!! I can not tell the difference from whole milk and 2 % milk. This is a new adventure I quite love. I have been searching for reciepes for soap making and cheese. Can't wait till I have enough milk for that purpose too!

Well tomorrow is church and I have now taken on Sunday School teaching. Yes, I am as shocked as you. But it can be fun and fulfilling in itself. I have been teaching the 5 - 11 year olds for at least 2 months now. Well I better get to bed!

Till next time,

Added goats to our life!

Hi everyone! We have added 2 Nigerian Dwarf Goats to our Bon Temps Hobby Farm. They are so sweet and precious. We want to add more animals this spring as the weather warms up after winter too. Meat rabbits, meat chickens and turkeys! I want to be where we don't buy any meat from the grocery store! Everything is getting so expensive!

Will be posting pictures soon of everyone!

Till later, Wendy

Hello everyone

Hi there. Well it is hot, but at least not as hot as it has been. Thank goodness!
Still being a stay at home mom. We did buy a camper and went on our first trip to Arkansas in July. We loved it. We went to Petit Jean Mountain. 35 miles northwest of Little Rock. It was so beautiful!! We want to go back when the leaves are changing maybe next year :-) That will be neat to see and won't be humid :-) So that will be nice :-) There was so much to do up there. We saw a Automobile Museum, A petting farm, and went out to eat on the mountain at Mather's Lodge, we went on hiking trails too. LOVED IT!!! I need to add pictures too :-)
Take care,
Wendy

Hate being sick!

Hi everyone, I have been sick. I had planned on getting on here every other day at least. But I have been sick with strep thorat and then had to go back to the doctor because my thorat started hurting again. Man the cost of medicine and docotr's thank God for insurance!! I hope all of you have been well, here in Louisiana we have had some crazy weather!

My last day of work was last Tuesday, I am now a stay at home mom again! I missed my kids and being there and doing things for them! I don't know if I mentioned it but we have chickens and a peacock and of couse I have my dachshund too, little Roux. I just love her! She has been the best dog, I have had dogs since I was a baby. But she has been the best, I pray she stay's with us a long long time. Speaking of her, today is bath day for her. She won't care for that to much either! Poor thing, but living inside she has to have a bath weekly. We live in the country with 13 acres and our land backs up to the National Forest. So I have to have her bathed weekly. I don't want a flea or tick problem. That is a good thing about chickens. They will eat ticks!! Sounds disgusting, but what a trade, ticks for eggs! Well they get to eat them when I let them free range. I have put up some pictures of my chickens. Well I better go for now and get my kids some breakfast. I hope yall have a great day.

Till later, Wendy!
