Green Acres....

Here we go, another blog I will start and try to keep up to date.

I promise to try!

So garden is planted and chickens are growing so I thought it would be a good time to post some pictures of what has been keeping us super busy and a little crazy at times.

 Our chicken coop
 Our little chirpy chicks 4 days old
 Chirpy chicks 6 weeks old
 The girls having their morning talk over breakfast.
 The veggie field
 Somebody had to weed the thing!
And its off and growing! We have so many veggies in this garden. Our plot is about 30' x 50'. We started in April with 3 rows potatoes, 1 row red and 1 row yellow onions,2 rows broccoli, 2 rows califlower, 3 rows romaine lettuce, and 1 row spinach all as seed or sets. They have all grown like crazy! This mother's day weekend we added plants; 13 tomatoes,24 peppers, 9 cucumbers, 3 squash, 36 beans, and 6 strawberries.  FARMERS MARKET AT OUR HOUSE! :D
So when we arent in the garden or taking care of the chickens sometimes
we go fishin...
or have guests...
 or check on the geese...
 or go for a drive....
 but we continually stumble on new life....
 This has all been such a learning process for all of us. We have learned how to slow down and take it all in. Everday is something new, and there is always something to be done.
Its our green acres and for right now its a pretty cool place to be.
