We love farming and ranching. Always have. Always will. Brian and I were both raised in this life style. My dad was a poultry ranch foreman, my step dad owns and operates a ranch, Brian's dad was a ranch foreman, and his grand father owns and operated a cattle ranch. It's in our blood.
When we were looking at properties to buy this past fall we looked at nice remodeled homes in town. As nice as they were, it just didn't feel like home. When we found our old farm house on three acres, we knew we'd found our home. A place where we could have our animals and a large garden. A fixer upper, yes. But, it's home.
A lot of people will spend today going to the park, maybe the beach, having a BBQ, going to the movies, or just hanging out. Us...we're deworming chickens, cleaning out chicken coops, bathing & dipping dogs, weeding, & fertilizing the garden. Oh, and we've already made two trips to the feed store. At the end of the day, we're going to a friends house to see their pigs and let them educate us about raising pigs. Afterwards, we'll come home to make, eat, & clean up dinner. Then, we'll fall into bed exhausted but we'll be ready to do it all over again tomorrow. A farmer's work is never done. But, we wouldn't have it any other way!
Enjoy your Saturday...we are :)
