The garden came out even better than I expected. I have hopes for even a better garden this year. We had potatoes and pumpkins, sweet potatoes and beans. Winter squash and summer squash, not to forget the tomatoes. The corn and the carrots just didn't make it. This year we'll plant a little sooner.

Fall came in and soon it was apple picking time. Joshua loved spending the afternoon walking around picking apples and going on the hay ride.
Right before Thanksgiving we lost our little friend Goofy. His medical problems were too great for him and we had to make a hard decision. We still miss him.
I harvested my first turkey this year. A 32lb tom. We had Scott's family over for Thanksgiving. Between the food and the family we had plenty to be thankful for.
Christmas came and went, celebrated with both family and friends. The house was full of warmth, laughter and food. This house was built for family and friends.
This winter proved to be a long one. Snow and cold. We rearranged the dinning room and the family room to keep everyone warmer.
Spring is finally here with all the promise of new beginnings. We're still waiting for the forsythia to bloom, but in the meantime, the barn has been cleaned and organized along with the breezeway. Today is the day to start rototilling the garden to get that ready. We welcomed two new chicks a couple weeks ago, we have a few more hopefully that will hatch in the incubator. So once again, Spring promises new beginnings.
I'll try to be better at posting. This year I'd like to raise and harvest some broiler for the freezer. I've got my eye on two pigs, and if we can maybe a goat? We'll see.
