Monday was a full day here.
We cut several hay fields (teddered too). Lawson made a batch of strawberry jam for the larder. Gardens were tended and weed cloth laid down. Spring is definitely in full swing. 😎

It’s that time.
Time to change it up in the ‘big’ garden. The deer eat our strawberry blooms so we dug them up and replanted at the ‘kitchen garden’ at the house.
Our rhubarb is nearly ready and I hoped we’d have some of our strawberries to make a pie. I don’t think this will be the year though.
In other garden news, I handed over the reigns. Davis ran the tiller where the strawberries and weed fabric were.
💪🏽 🍓
I didn’t doubt her ability to hold a lever and walk behind a machine I just love it myself! Now to have her doing this I can manage the other three children better ahem, I mean parts of the garden. ☺️

I feel like spring snuck up on me last week and I

I feel like spring snuck up on me last week and I wasn’t prepared. The farm, our home (inside and out) plus off the farm commitments had my head spinning and my days filled. Mostly because a few things came up unexpectedly.
This week I am already ahead of the game. I pulled meat out for the week and have a general idea of what we are eating. That alone will be a huge help. I get so frustrated when I don’t know what we’re eating but clearly haven’t learned my lesson.
Now that the farm is out of hibernation and the Airbnb (Burley Stick Farmhouse) is booking I have to remember what it’s like to be committed to the unknown and ready for anything. 🤩

Farm chores with seven children.
Not much different than with four.
(I’m holding one ☺️)

Extra diligent about no one touching the fences. ✔️
Chores complete ✔️

We scurried over while I had a small break in Cheesemaking to gather our own.
The girls made their arrangements and have placed them about our home. What hit they bring!

The summer heat of yesterday had certain ones ready for creek play. The teaser was welcomed as we drop in temps again the rest of the week and have snow in the forecast for Saturday ❄️😯.
Daily creek splashing will be here before we know it though. For now we will ride out our North Carolina spring in anticipation for summer. 🌸

Bonnet, barn and babe. 💞
My baby isn’t so much a baby anymore. She knows things like how to wash teats, plant sweet pea seeds and unload our dishwasher. (All by herself.) Pretty sure I couldn’t (didn’t) do that at four years old. We didn’t have a milk cow nor a dishwasher. Mom may have let me plants seeds but all I can remember is our rhubarb in the garden and stringing green beans.
How her childhood is much different than mine but they the same. My mother was a homemaker. We played outside for endless hours and like my own mother I try to pour into her every day the love of Jesus. After all it’s because of Him.

Yesterday Robert and I were working together to me

Yesterday Robert and I were working together to mend a fence. I turned around and saw four little children running toward us.
They ran to give Papaw big hugs for the day (perk to multi-generation farming and living on the farm together). Two children lingered a little longer than the other two. Two disappeared, running quickly to the top hill (old cemetery’s are quite exciting even if you see it everyday and catching a glimpse of the still smoldering ashes from a recent fire).
Davis stayed close and ended up helping us with the fence. Really she and Robert fixed it as I stood back and watched. She fumbled with the XPJ as it’s tricky for even me to use. It’s heavy and big. You have to squeeze the clamps just right. She stuck with it and squeezed everything into place. She was patient and calm. I don’t even remember her getting frustrated. I was proud of her. And walked away reminded (again) to not get frustrated with things that aren’t so easy. You never know the lesson you’ll be learning each day around here. ☺️

#sundaysmiles
Spring tasks were in full swing this past week. The chicks were moved outside. We completed a barn clean out. The final fall/winter temporary fence was removed. Our rental house is cleaned and back open for bookings. We put the cattle on fresh green grass. Our bonus was pulling an Aprils Fools joke on Darrell. 💕

This bred heifer (#40) just hanging out, chewing her cud yesterday -pretty much in our back yard. You can barely see the electric fence (I’m standing in the “yard”).

I love it! The cattle will occasionally gather there, I suppose we are good entrainment. ☺️

Sunday smiles!
My sweet friend & her husband were baptized this morning. I thought how special to share that moment with your spouse. 💞

I purposely haven’t thought much about our upcoming week and the farm just yet. Darrell and I fed this morning so I know one thing we shouldn’t have to worry about. 🤗

I hope y’all have a restful Sunday! 💕

I love it when they show up with their contagious laughter and helping hands.
We are excited about the students coming for a field trip today. Praying the rain holds off so we can explore the farm.

It thundered and then we had a rainbow. Before I knew it Corliss was out there playing in the wind and sprinkles.
Just after I snapped this the wind flipped her umbrella inside out, taking her off guard. She recovered quickly. ☔️💕🍃

Thursday night I made a bunch of food.
Friday morning I declared it adventure day…surprised the children.
We packed up food and hit the road. We landed in @dollywood for some of the day. Unfortunately, the closed the rides due to due high winds. ☹️ No big deal though. We still had a great time and will go back soon.

This afternoon the clouds gave way to the sun. The men folk fed the herd and are thinking it’s the next to last time until December.
I sure hope so!
The pastures are definitely greening up. When they finish hay we will start our daily or every other day grazing rotation. Basically, the farm will be fully out of hibernation and it’ll be full speed ahead until December. 💃
The 2022 project list is short and sweet this year. There’s only ONE and it’s a large scale one requiring a lot of prep work to even get us started. I am very, very excited about it and will share more about it soon.

Yesterday’s 2-3” of snow is long gone and looks like a fair week of weather.

I think we will start planning our spring gardens this week! I should say our planning means what will we grow this year. Not specifics to location. 😆 Anyone else?

Sometimes my priorities are not like his.
I haven’t rendered this pork/leaf fat into lard. I told him which freezer he could find it and he dug around until he had all the bags. I was actually kinda surprised when he came into the kitchen with his hands full. I like his determination though! He needs it (lard) for several recipes he wants to try. One being Vanity Cakes from the Little House Cookbook.
Today it looks like we will be rendering fat, more him than me. 😉

Raising children. What a challenge, right? Hone

Raising children.

What a challenge, right? Honestly, I never thought of the struggle before having having them. I thought it would be a piece of cake. With age comes wisdom.

Now I have been entrusted with four precious children that need my guidance, love, encouragement and discipline. Training up these babies, helping them discover the gifts and talents God equipped them with. Again, no easy task.

I found myself watching the girls work so closely together on the dog treats. A silly little thing but no fussing or complaining. Problem solving who would do what this go round, how many bags they need to make, taking inventory in supplies etc. Corliss walked over as I snapped this. She wanted a job, to feel included. The girls gave her the task of opening the bags, perfect I thought.

Time is a thief. The “training” shall continue, I press on. As I pray for my sweet ones and will continue to guide them, love and encourage their little souls I am reminded how God has blessed me greatly and given me a job show them who He is.
