Family Time

We had a scrumptiously wonderful Thanksgiving here on the farm...

filled with good food, laughter, and fellowship.

The farm was a flurry of activity for 5 solid days.

All of our kids were home.

Tyler was here.

Family.

Old friends.

New friends.

Beautiful warm days and cold, clear nights provided the back drop 

for feasting, playing with the animals,

skeet shooting, camping in the woods,

and hysterical laughter over the silliest of things.

The animals received extra doses of loving.

The chickens received lots of scraps.

All in all, everyone had a perfect holiday.

And now it's back to every-day-farm-life...

preparing for the upcoming holidays,

and readying the farm for the winter to come.

We have ordered new garden boxes that should be delivered soon.

After a summer of endless weeding,

I have decided to take my strawberry patch above ground.

Garden boxes will make the strawberry patch much more manageable

in the years to come.

I will share the "building of boxes" when they arrive.

Last, but not least, I have to share this picture.

And although it is not farm related,

I am sure when you look at it you will understand

why I just had to share it....

Tyler had some professional pictures taken.

I knew you'd enjoy them!

Here is a little smile for you...hope your day is as happy as this!....
