I can share so many stories of Duckling being an awesome little farmer. She even assisted an egg herself at 20 months!

Wow! That is so neat I definitely want baby to enjoy hanging out with our animals and learning to care for them compassionately!!

2 white leghorn chicks

Hahahah my husband thinks I’m insane, I’m also 9 months pregnant! So babies everywhere!

Congrats!
Kids & animals just seem to go together...like peas & carrots.

Looky what I got today!!

put it to great use as Easter decor on the "new" cabinet DH made for me.
Took one of the cabinets from my mom & dad's kitchen remodel & re-purposed it to our 'farm-house' tastes..the top-counter is just on today for our buffet, the real top is still being completed. Has to have the epoxy applied & seasoned yet. It will be much darker.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Trim needs applied.
the uppers still need painted & new hardware. One step at a time
The dishwasher is an anniversary gift to each other. Smaller than normal, it will be greatly appreciated during canning time! No more neck & back ouches lugging pots here & there.

Have never had 'real' counter space before this. Very excited. Only took 20+ years to attain-obtain.
Always have had to use the sink-area.
It is enamel over cast iron.
Also the kitchen table, which is more the height I need because of my 'vertical impairment'. hahaha
The cord in the pic is going over to the microwave. It had to stay on it's metal cabinet for now. Really thinking about just moving it to the counter. Pushing my luck with not getting caught-up in that cord.
Also have a tote with the items (toaster/ small food processor/ cutting boards etc.), I have yet to organize & find a new home for.
The kitchen is a bit in disarray, but i guess we have to make disorganized-mess before we can go all "Marie Kondo"...
Using the metal cabinets that were housing all the stuff in the kitchen for storing/organizing our seasonal canning/preserving tools in the basement. It is all working out well.
Had to just share all that..hahaha, it is a big -cool deal for me right now.

Happy Earth Day Everyone

Hey thanks! I grew up in Bellwood!

I currently live next to Bellwood, but just bought a house at Port Matilda. Don't have Chickens yet, but will get them soon. Patton township requires permit for chickens and have ridiculous size limitations for the coop and run. Even We have more than 1 acre, we only allow to have 4 chickens and less than 40 squire feet run+30 squire feet coop.

That's so true. I want to fence the backyard of our new house, so no one can see how many chickens we have. He believe that I plan to have goats and cows hidden there too. I said no, only chickens, ducks, and turkeys. Patton township has chicken regulations, but nothing for ducks and turkeys. Strange

So we just signed a contract to buy a house at Port Matilda. Unfortunately, it's still in Patton Township, so only 4 chickens allowed. At least that's how many we have to start with. I think we need to build the coop and run and get them inspected before we can have chickens. I'll let Dennis know when we ready for chickens. I guess wouldn't be this year, since I will have to build the coop and run myself with limited help of hubby. I'm not handy at all! Have to figure out a simple plan to make a 30 square feet coop and 40 square feet run. this size limitation are ridiculous. Especially consider that we have over 1 acre round. My original plan is to buy a shed and frame a section for coop, and then add a run to attach to it.
