Walking and enjoying the weather

I have to say it has been so very nice here in Oregon. We have been taking total advantage of the weather and living in the country. We have a garden now, chickens and one day maybe we will have some property and maybe get a beef! Now that would be great! Plus as mentioned before we have lots of fruit trees and found we also have some nut tree's! It has been a dream of mine to have a farm of my own. My kids can finally be kids here. When your out here you feel like your in another world compaired to when your in town. I thought I would miss being out of town. But I really don't. Besides having a house keeps me busier. Holy Cow.. Maybe just maybe my weight will go on the downside. I have gained 30 pounds since being in the motorhome, plus I was already overweight!

Plus Heavenly Angels in Need (HAIN) is also doing better then it has ever done. There is no more tention. Its been a HUGE blessing!

Life has been great! Glad to be here!

Coons or weasels

We were devistated to find that 4 of our chickens in one of our chicken pens were killed by a coon or weasel. Just heartbreaking. I know that a person is not suppose to be attached to a chicken. But I was. I had 2 of our chicks in that pen that I raised since they were 3 days old and was 6 weeks old this week. Just makes me sick. Needless to say that pen will get worked on. So the other chickens will stay with our other chickens in our save chicken pen and chicken house!

K- graduation Our youngest Paul

Paul was so nervious during graduation but I think he was also excited that he was going to FIRST GRADE! LOL He looked so cute in his little graduation outfit!

Chickens,hen houses and gardening

Brian and I have been trying to use the land God gave us to the best of its ability. There people whom have owned this over the years have planted fruit tree's and there are filbert tree's too. We have always wanted a farm where we could have chickens and be able to grow our own crops to feed our family and reach out to others to help.

As posted before my hubby built a chicken pen and they were finally old enough to put them in the pen and house to live. Now he finally had the chance to build simple next boxes. Here is My hubby and our son Gabe working on the nest boxes.

Then here are some of them installed in the hen house

Then we have been gardening and here are some of the plants

Working on chicken pens!!

I will load pics later.

My hubby and one of our sons helped him build nest boxes for chickens yesterday. (on fathers day) Gabe "our son" was so excited to help dad build these nest boxes. He was holding onto one end when dad was on the other carrying them to the chicken house. The chickens are in heaven now! We are excited to have at least some of the boxes in!
