Whats going on at my house

Things are really busy right now around the house, its garden season. We have a huge garden full of corn, tomatoes, squash, pumpkins and many more things. I also planted some Dills Atlantic pumpkins too they are the kind that get HUGE, not sure why I was so obsessed with them this year, last year Okra was my thing LOL. We started building a new chicken house this weekend. Thank God we really needed it! Here is a pic of how far we got Sat.We worked on it more on Sunday but got slowed down by the rain. We got all the rafters up and the tops of the polls cut off. We have to finish framing it and them we can hang our siding. I am hoping to paint it red I have always wanted an old red barn and this one will have wood siding so should look great!

While working on the barn we found these baby birds as well little Robins.I have kinda been in the dumps tonight, people you never thought would do it crap on you from time to time. I for one am done with it and have now realized why I like animals so much more than people! Well when I get down this is one of the things I do to pick my self back up again.This is pure angora I dyed pink and light purple then blended with my hand carders. The pink is the first clipping of got off of my German Angora Vici it is her second coat the purple is her third coat between the 2 coats I got a pound of wool not too shabby! Hanging out with my critters is also good theraopy! I hope that all of you are in good spirits and God has sent you many blessing today!

  1. and when you get done with that chicken coop you can come to Kansas and help us with a new one for us. We desperately need to change our chicken situation and improve their living situation.

    So sorry about the friendship....pink bunny fiber always good for the soul. Hang in there...I understand your feelings with the animals. I feel that way too sometimes then I remember we are all human. So forgiveness is part of that...and learning discernment...never easy though when you have been let down by someone you trusted.

  2. Hey Dustin, you're keeping quite busy! It is good to have something new to work on. I have my hands full with the rabbitry shed as I'm insuring the rabbits are healthy in our 100 degree weather in San Antonio, Tx!

    Sorry to hear someone you trusted did some crappy thing. It happens to all of us. The thing is to move on, forgive an let things resolve themselves. The good thing is we can always enjoy our rabbits and other animals that will NEVER do crappy things to us! Keep up your spirits and remember that human beings always will do things that we might not like, but forgiveness is a wonderful way to deal with these situations.
