My most recent nephew, Landon, was born 6 weeks premature on June 5th and I just finally got his quilt completed and ready to give to him over the weekend.

Well, you all helped me as I played with the lay out of this quilt forever ago. After 8 months, I finally completed it over the weekend. As usual, this is machine pieced and hand quilted. It is about 6 months late for their wedding present, but they just moved into their new home over the...

After my failed attempt with eggs from Miss_Jayne, my cousin, and my guineas, I decided to try again. Yesterday was day 27 for 8 guinea eggs... and 2 hatched! I am hoping some more will join them today! I am excited! I just wish things had gone better when I had Miss_Jayne's eggs in there...

I know we haven't lived here long, but I felt safe here. The neighbors I had met were nice and we hadn't had any trouble with anyone. Yesterday we came home from watching my BIL compete at the Special Olympics to find that our 4-wheeler and our chainsaw were gone! Someone had cut the lock off...

I've really been enjoying spring here at our new place and thought I'd share some of it with y'all. Please feel free to share pictures from around your place, too! This flower was a mystery to me, but I have come to learn that it is a Primrose. It is just growing in the yard. DH mowed over...

I've seen you all help out a lot of other people, so it's my turn to ask for suggestions and comments. Many of you know that we bought our place back in January (If not, the post about it, with pictures, is here) . It's 42 acres, but most of the acreage is hidden behind the house, garage...

DH and I got a goat from my cousin over a week ago. She bought his mom from Quail_Antwerp on here and Ned was born about two months ago. She (my cousin) was going to take him (Ned) to the sale barn, so we offered to buy him from her. He's a sweet little guy and he was a big hit with the kids...

This is the official thread for Mahonri and I to post updates about our eggs we're hatching from Miss_Jayne and her lovely family! I set my 6 "designer" chicken eggs & 6 duck eggs from miss-jayne tonight along with some "deigner" chicken eggs (RIR, NHR, golden comet, & EE with an EE rooster and...

My poor old car was on its last leg and my hubby was concerned about me driving something that wasn't dependable. So, I located a vehicle online that looked like what we wanted and was in a price range I was willing to consider. We drove an hour and 45 minutes to this dealership. When we got...

I received an email tonight about this little girl from a neighboring community. I remember praying for her through her last round with cancer. Her story and picture are below.... The picture below is a little girl, she will be 8 this year. When she was 4 she had a brain tumor behind her...

Ok, my little sister is getting married this fall. It's a fairly casual wedding. She and her fiance picked out these shirts at TSC for the guys to wear, but they weren't able to get all the sizes that they needed. She spent forever at our local TSC and they said that there are no more of...

So, for several months now we have been in the process of purchasing our first home. It's been a long, slow process, but we're finally nearing the end! We're hoping to have a closing date soon (the sellers moved to Texas months ago, so the house is already empty). We are SOOO excited! It's...

Well, my DH and I spent this afternoon at a family gathering and we came home to three additional critters on our back porch. A puppy and two kittens. We have no idea where they came from. The dog doesn't have a collar or anything. He is very friendly and I would guess that he was used to...

I finally finished my baby quilt for my sister's little baby boy last week. It took me about a month and a half to complete (around work and farming). It was machine pieced and hand quilted. I know it's not perfect (it's only my 3rd quilt so far), but I had a lot of fun working on this quilt...

I meant to share this a while ago, but I forgot. For my birthday a couple weeks ago one of my birthday gifts from my husband was this adorable little stool shaped like a chicken! I thought you all would appreciate it!

We normally get a variety of color and size eggs. Today we got this really pretty dark brown egg. I assume that it came from one of the Golden Comets, not from one of the EEs. Our I'm guessing from the size of this one, that it may be the first egg for one of them! This is a picture I took...

We had a little beagle mixed puppy who was about 9 months old. About a month and a half ago I let him out to go potty before I left for work (our normal routine) and he didn't return. We and the neighbor kids searched for him and found no sign of him. DH and I went to the pound and they...

On Friday my husband and I went to a coworker's farm to pick up 10 pullets (at $3/each... I thought that was pretty good ). I had hoped to get a variety of breeds, but when we got they they said that the Rhode Island Reds were picking on the Araucanas, so I should get all of one kind or the...

I had noticed that my Guinea keets were going to have to be moved to a bigger brooder soon because they were starting to jump almost high enough to get out of the rubbermaid tote they were in. When I woke up this morning I had one keet in the brooder peeping its head off and the the other one...

I didn't know where else on here to post this, so Mods, feel free to move it if you feel it fits better somewhere else. I just thought that some of you might be interested in a field day that is going to be held here in Carroll County on Septemer 13th 10am-4pm. It's called the...
