This summer we have seen more turtles so far than we usually see all summer.
A few weeks ago we saw this turtle.
He was just crossing the dirt road, and though he may not look it he was a pretty big
turtle. A snapping turtle actually, we just assumed he came from he pond down the road.
Then last week, we saw this turtle.
He was just as big as the snapping turtle but I think he is some kind of box turtle, honestly I'm not sure exactly what kind he is, I was just excited to see him. Baby boy wanted to take him to the house but when he tried to pick him up, he hissed at him, so we decided to leave him alone.
Living in the country has it's advantages.
This weekend we lost one of our chickens, and since we only had one more laying hen left, we decided to move her to the barn.
Here's where the fun comes in.
BB couldn't catch the chicken, but my little runner, she caught it in no time!
Believe it or not, she has already asked when she can get more chicks?
Toby was a little bit scared of the old red hen.
This weekend our church took our kids to a corn maze at a local farm.
It was a real working farm.
We all went through the corn maze, which was great by the way and then we went on the hayride where they tell us all about their farm.
Did you know that the average age of today's farmer is 62?
Did you know that most farmers will inherit their farms, we are using up most of our land for houses and it's difficult to just go out and buy a farm.
Do you really know where your food is coming from?
Completely unplanned we watched Food Inc this weekend. I had seen this guy on Oprah and it just looked interesting so I rented it.
If you haven't seen it you should, you may consider saving up for a farm. I think I am.
Caught a raccoon that like to eat our cat food.
Got a new billy goat (his name is Sammy).
Same old Pal.
Same old Dot!
Look what just wandered into the yard!
