Where We Are Now....

Currently we have 41 hens and 3 roosters. We also have 2 catahoula leopards. We are blessed to  have a college student living with us and she has a yellow lab. Tomorrow we will be adding to our farm with a goat. Her name will be GG. Of course pictures will be posted soon. We are super excited to bring her to our little farm. Eventually we would also like to add ducks and pigs. Here are a few pictures of what our place looks like now:

This is a view from the front of our home. We just bought this little farm house on 3 acres in August 2011. We moved from my husband's grandparent's 100 acre cattle ranch. Big change to go from 100 acres to 3 acres but we love our place.




These are just a few of our chickens. They are foraging for their dinner. I love looking out the windows and seeing them scratching and pecking. I also love waking up to the roosters crowing.











To the right is our garden. We planted it March 24th and it's already growing like crazy. We have tomatoes, bell pepper (green, yellow, & red), hot peppers (jalapeno & Serrano), squash, zucchini, egg plant, radishes, carrots, romaine lettuce, collard greens, green beans, wax beans, purple hull peas (a southern thing), corn on the cob, watermelon, & cantaloupe. Can't wait to enjoy the fruits of our labor.                                                          
                                              

This is our sun gold cherry tomato plant. We attended an AG class and the man leading the class said these are supposed to be the best tomatoes you can eat. I'll let you know what we think.



And finally, this is the tank at the back of our place. Just on the back side of this tank is where we will eventually have our pigs at. We love to just sit by the water and listen to the tree frogs, crickets, and smell the sweet air of everything in bloom.

This is just a small glimpse into our little corner of the world. We hope you'll visit frequently and enjoy your time here as much as we do.
