Amazing Transformations

How far the farm has come in 2 summers! As I sit here and count my blessings, I am truly amazed.

From this:
to thisto this


And this:
to this

Our chicks grew into chickens and happily give us eggs(as long as we can keep them alive). Our strawberries flourished and we were able to make jam this year. Our garden is maturing and should have a high yield. Raspberries, blackberries and blueberries are ripening. We found new surprises on the land....a currant bush and a mulberry tree. The apple orchard survived a tent caterpillar attack and has gone on to produce hundreds of apples that are maturing with each passing week.

Our horses have been fairly healthy and are back in the swing of working in the arena. The goats seem to be used to their new habitat. The ducks and chickens are few in numbers however due to the apparent skill of the local predators. This remains a problem for which we are still researching and trying solutions.

All in all we have seen many blessings. How wonderful to now be able to enjoy the fruits of our labors! My thanks to all who help to make this dream a reality!
