Two Sparrows in a Hurricane: It's been a busy April!!!

It's been awhile since I have had time to sit down and write. I have tried but either find a load of laundry to do or am to tired and pass out on the couch. We have a few new additions to Dew Drop Farm and some very exciting news! So please be patient this blog will be VERY pic heavy. My chicks that we bought last month have gotten so big already and have moved outside to there new coop. Wow there has been so much going on here I don't know where to start.....Lets see First I had set 42 eggs in my bator in the beginning of March and realized when I went to put them on lock down that they had been sitting in the turner and I forgot to plug in the turner so I was surprised 3 days later when I ended up with 3 Ameracaunas and 2 Sussex/Delaware crosses, It amazes me how mother nature still works even though I do not!

I also reserved my first bannie egg a week ago so I was very happy and egg cited over that.

Next on our list was butchering some roosters that we have had for 10 weeks, Now mind you this was our first time. I figured it would be worse then it was. I was in charge of cleaning out the insides....Yummy! (NOT). I watched the first one as hubby killed him and got to dunk and pull off the feathers, Then in the house I went. Kyle joined me so he could learn how to clean too and he did the last roo. My father in law also gave me a lesson in cleaning gizzards which I found out my husband likes....Have never tried. May never try either. Kyle did an awesome job. I was very proud of myself and him.

Now for the exciting news!!!!!
Spida has finally arrived here at Dew Drop Farm. YAY!!! I was so happy when we brought her home not only was I getting another goat but a friend for Tucker who arrived last month.(5 weeks old) Now all my friends know that from being bottle fed only by me he is literally up my butt. So Spida was a big help in that area. She was not bottle fed so we have some work to do with her. All she needs is some TLC which here we have PLENTY to go around. Now June Lavender will also be joining us here too. She is also a little over a year and should be with kid, So that will be exciting. Now on to the BIG BIG news!!!

Dew Drop Farm will be moving!!!
We just purchased five and a half acres about 20 mins south west of here. Here we only have half an acre. We are so excited!! It will be so much work but worth all of the sweat and tears we put into it. We will someday have land to pass on to our children. We will start our move sometime next year after we put in septic, well, light pole and have our trailer moved. I just cant contain myself......My life feels like it is falling into place. I learned that when you feel like your path is blocked and you feel like there is no way out you have to have faith in yourself and your family and to God, Because for whatever reason another path was shown to us.

We also have planted our garden for this year. It is filled this year. We have planted Tomato's, Spinach, Zucchini, Yellow squash, Butternut squash, Eggplant, Banana peppers, Frying peppers, 8 different types of herbs, 5 different types of beans and peas, Pumpkin, Beets, Onions, Parsnips, Turnips and I think a few other things. So come fall we will have a filled pantry and freezer full of plenty of food!
