“Farm” Life & Clarabell

So we moved out here, we bought a few chickens. 

Then, we bought more chickens. 

 

Eventually eggs arrived. (so did the snakes)

Recently, we even hatched our own chicks.

{yeah, we really like chickens}

We fish in the “stocked” pond for catfish.

 

Which is less like a pond and more like a puddle

Added a few roosters and some more hens

 

Robert got work boots for the “farm” – I now have cowboy boots

Then, this spring we added a couple turkeys.

We ate one.

And this week we added this sweet girl.

Her name is Clarabell Dinner (Robert prefers her second name, I prefer her first).  We are bottle feeding

So while I have been playing with the term “farm” I think it is officially a Hobby Farm here at the Cole Homestead.

So we are feeding our sweet Heifer Calf (do not call her a cow – she is not!) *I learned this from my friend this week.

Not sure when a home officially turns into a farm, or how much land you must have for it to be that

farm : a plot of land devoted to the raising of animals and especially domestic livestock

But that defines much of our place these days, and another spot is about to be devoted to agricultural farming once we can get our seeds/plants into the ground.

While it is still very dry here

things are good.  And we are enjoying every day here on our little farm!
