This may sound cliche ... but I'm SO glad we have each other, here on BYC. My Online Friends ... you all make this much easier (not easy, but definitely easiER) to bear. Thank You!

Absolutely. BYC is my therapy. Love you guys!

Whitewash

I am going to go look at stains and stuff next weekend. We are also building the double decker coop then using the fort frame. I cannot believe that we are actually going to have two huge coops.

People around here have lost their damn minds. First it was toilet paper and paper towels, then hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes. Now vitamins and meats. The last couple months been hard homeschool 5 kids in different grades. I wasn't cut out for that lol. We live on a farm so I'm greatful they can play outside have lots to keep them busy. We have our own beef, pork and chicken. So we don't need to rely as much on stores. The garden is 10x bigger this year than in the past. I'm over stressed because the dairy market is SO bad right now, milk is at an all time low for us and not even enough to buy their feed. So I wrap myself up in the chickens and goats trying to stay busy otherwise I start getting anxiety over the finances. Nobody here been sick, don't know anyone who has. I don't take the kids anywhere. If I go I go alone and am very careful. We have ah andicapped son and I cannot risk bringing anything home to him, he is immune compromised

You can do this! It's not easy, but it's possible ... but it sure makes us appreciate the teachers, doesn't it?


ps - My sister is a dairy farmer AND a teacher ... and between the moos, the chickens and the online learning sessions ... she's going nuts, too!

And what color should I paint my pallet coop?

We are going with a western theme. I want to make some things or get some things like barrels to hold their drinking water. I’ve literally gone insane... the straight jacket and padded room will be my next stop. As long as I have my Dolly we can handle it.

I have seen people build a whole western town.

That’s what our friend wants to do. Obviously it won’t be complete until we actually move to our permanent home in a few years. I can’t wait!
