Happenings this last week: Its been a stay at home kind of week filled with lots of farm work going on...building animal pens, cleaning outdoors, gardening work. But its been great.
The kids and I did venture out on Thursday to run a couple errands and have lunch at the park. Petsmart, Petco, In & Out, Library and Sprouts. Then hubbie and I went to home depot over last weekend to grab some compost and manure along with a few flowers and a hose for the fall garden.
A non- busy work afternoon last week gifted me 3 hours to spend outdoors by myself and it was glorious - a little hot but still wonderful. I got a shade set up in Ro's new pig pen which her chicken-duck friends are enjoying and secured a roof on the chickens enclosure area as well. I cleaned out Scarlett's house/igloo stuffing it with new straw since the overnights have been getting chilly and cleaned the chicken coop in her pen as well. After animals I marked off our fall garden in the field, and dug half of the rows. A little watering and some kitten-cat petting time and I called it an afternoon and went inside.
Lately in the evenings a few days a week, hubbie and I have been working for an hour outside before the sun goes down as well. Working, watching the kittens play, chatting. I love that we have that passion together to garden, homestead, have animals, and work together in that way. I love that over the years as our passions and interests and hobbies have changed and grown, they've grown together and we've grown together. We truly enjoy spending time together doing the things we love.
