Shame On Me!

It's been nearly a YEAR since I hit up my blog?  I'm blushing in shame.

In my defense, a LOT has happened this year!  Let me outline the highlights.

  • We moved in December of 2010 (to a place that turned out not to be great.)
  • We got two dogs from the shelter (they're still happy!)
  • We bartered for a goat in milk (she's still in milk)
  • We bartered for a mess of chickens (they are JUST starting to lay for me) AND we hatched some from our original three that were given to us when we moved in
  • I did a lot of building around the place (fences, shelters, movable pens, milking stanchions)
  • We had a huge garden/labor of love which all died in the drought (oh so sad!)
  • I stayed sick at that house a LOT (combination of putrid cat urine permeating the house and tension due to the owner's daughter who lived across the street and made my life tense)
  • I bought two goats for fiber and was given a rabbit for the same
  • I moved again (to a place that is turning out to be absolutely lovely)
  • I started school (more pre-reqs toward a degree, some of it online, some on campus)
  • I got a job outside the home (care-taking)
  • And I started getting counseling.
Now, am I forgiven?  Because that is  A LOT of goings-on!

I promise to update you more as to specifics on nearly all of it if you're interested... just now I have to go do chores!
Ciao!

Gratitude Day Nine

I skipped a couple days. Actually, I didn't so much skip, as miss.  I missed a couple days... BUT in my defense, I didn't actually have internet during those days because we were moving!

Now Ruby Lane Farm has a home! And for this I am grateful!!!
:D

I'm grateful for the additional SPACE we have here!
I'm grateful for the animal pens that are already in place here!
I'm grateful for the cats that already live here because it means we do not have a pet deposit, but there are pets available to us!
I'm grateful that Timmy is already settled in and seems so happy to be here!

All this and much more!
:)

So, as you can see, no shortage of gratitude here!
Happy Holidays!
