What's been happening on our farm

A happy Hubsy, seen here unloading his tractor (we have dreamed of this day, since we moved onto this farm 7 yrs ago) and a beautiful day to boot.
Later that day, we just had the itch to try her out, so here hubsy is breaking through brush and moving dirt to make a road to another 5 acres across a swamp/an old beavers pond; which we have not been able to get to unless we crossed over the beavers dam. ( will post pictures of that later down the road)


While hubsy is busy with his new "baby" you can see I have other hings in mind.... Like these raspberries.




For a snack, I made everyone raspberry and blueberry parfaits... Yummzie!









As I pick at these red sweet and tasty berries, I picked my way right over to this... a little birds nest. Hmm, must be they have moved on, cause there was no one home.














Last evening, as hubsy and I headed back to the house, a layer of fog started to form over the fields, about a half hour after sunset, the moon was rising above the barn; over the trees. What a glorious site (just love this photo) may become a photo for our wall.


It appears that we are farmers.



Rusty, ( now approaching a month old) chick has a little friend.
Born to us on the 20th, this is Itty Bitty...
I think, we have a real mini chick, I have never seen a runt chick before (only one that hatched out of 8 eggs) she is so cute...
Buddiebb, Buddiebb, Buddiebb, that's it folks.

Wow! NICE!! I know your hubby is thrilled with his new toy, Mel! You might not see much of him now- that's the way it was when my hubby got his tractor- he would disappear for hours!
Itty Bitty is so cute- and I love the picture of your farm.
