New beginnings
Hello. It's been a while. I have been focusing on my children as they continue to grow and venture farther from home, for longer periods. I have been focusing on my health, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about 5 years ago and decided to radically change my diet instead of opting for drugs. We moved, in town still, but a move is still a move, and it sometimes takes a while to find a groove in a new setting. We have 4 acres now instead of 2, beside a beautiful creek. And I have found... it's too much. I am good with 2 acres. Moving forward, this is good to know! We have stopped breeding the sheep, and are currently keeping 5 ewes as lawn mowers. (Why? Our daughter is now a vegan... 'nuff said.) I have down-sized the turkeys considerably, only keeping a breeding pair of the Royal Palms at the moment, concentrating on my chickens, particularly on the ameraucanas (wheatens and mottleds). We have added guinea fowl, which are fun, and a lot less maintenance than the chickens. I have shifted focus on the ducks, from the swedish to anconas. I can feel now, that I have time to maintain this blog if anyone cares to read it. If you do, please let me know. If not, I can archive it and move on, and I thank you for your time.
