While my family was up from California last weekend we got outside in the sunshine and planted some of our strawberries. It was a great help and fun besides! There are still many more to plant!

Kitchen Projects
Our New Puppy
We have also added a sweet collie puppy to our farm recently. She is so cute. When we first brought her home she was quite timid, but she has been adjusting. The poor cat is very jealous and not at all nice to her, so she avoids him if possible. She is also not too sure about the goat yet. The chickens were scary at first but now they are alot of fun to watch. We are having a hard time thinking of a good name for her. Any suggestions?
Hannah
We bought a milking doe last week. She is a Nubian/Alpine cross giving about half a gallon a day. She came with the name Hannah, I'm not sure if I will leave it or think of something new. She is very friendly and easy to milk. She only has one flaw. She has been very difficult to keep locked in. She escapes very well and runs right over to the window to look in.

Cows
Chickens
We raised 20 meat birds this year. Three of them died so we ended up with 17. Andrew has been quite sick ever since just after the wedding and I was having a hard time keeping up with everything. He is getting alot better now, it is such a relief. The chickens were all ready to butcher right during the worst of it but I had never done it before and couldn't do it by myself. So Andrews family came over and we got them all done. It was such a big help and it is nice to have them all in the freezer now.
