So, I've been away from this blog awhile. Again. It's been an overwhelming year. A lot has happened. Births, deaths, comings and goings, ups and downs. In December of 2014, hubby was sent to Korea for a year. We knew before he left that he would not be stationed back at home. The military placed him about 6 hrs from home, instead. It's a bit of a haul for us to see him but we manage! He has just over a year until retirement, so we're just counting down at this point. Our kiddos and I stayed on the farm. We manage the property, animals, school, activities, etc from here. The next year can't go by too quickly!
Last spring we added a pregnant Jersey cow to our farm! She gave us an adorable bull calf in June. I was thrilled to have found the "perfect Jersey"! Unfortunately, at some point in the fall, she was killed by coyotes. I was devastated. She was such a sweet, unassuming girl, and I was looking forward to many years with her. Her calf is fine, thankfully, as is Edith.
We also added a couple more ducks, a Narragansett turkey, an African goose, and a random large white chicken! A friend was needing to get rid of them and offered them to me. For free! Now that was a fun car ride home!
We're coming up on the end of several school related things, too. Co-op is almost over. The homeschool drama production is this weekend; it will be the last for our beloved director and my dear friend. My show choir is doing wonderfully and will be performing their showcase next month! And, of course, spring is almost here!
The grass is already turning beautiful, rich shades of green. The trees are budding and forming leaves. The sun is bright, the skies are blue (except when it's raining). Take a big, deep breath and breathe it all in!
I'll try to snap some photos tomorrow, if the sun will cooperate!
