Monday Farming

It sure has been busy here on our little farm today. The temps were spring like. It got to +10 degrees here which it totally crazy for this time of year. January is always cold, and tons of snow. So we took advantage of this and worked outdoors. I house cleaned the winter chicken coop. Took 6 wheel barrows out and replaced a dirty floor with clean dry shavings from the planner at our sawmill. The chicken coop has a lovely cedar smell now!

I took the goats for a walk then put them in my garden for the afternoon to munch on our Christmas tree. They did a wonderful job of decomposing it for me.....





Hb came home from work early so, we took the back hoe and cleaned out the sheep's pen and put in a new round bale.
We brushed the horses,and made sure all the water lines were in tip top shape.

I came in when the Weeones got home from school and made chicken fried steak with gravy and mashed potatoes for supper. The Weeones ate some oatmeal strawberry bars that I made earlier this morning while they waited for supper to cook. They never get full!
