It has been forever since I updated this blog! Lots of things have happened since my last post and we've had a few additions to our family as well! A stray cat showed up in our little barn a few months ago and adopted us as her new family. She and Idaho get along swimmingly and I often find them cuddled up together.
Kamiah has been lonely since we moved out here. She was used to being Matt's assistant builder, and even though she readily assumed her new job as "kitty-sitter" we still thought she needed a friend to romp around with and someone to keep her company at night. After combing the internet for a couple days we found a lab/pointer puppy who just seemed perfect. That Sunday afternoon we drove all the way to Oklahoma to pick her up, when we got her home she adjusted right away and she and Kamiah are fast friends.
Apricot (our new pup) was abandoned near a highway in a cardboard box as a pup and was found starving with her litter mates, but she is learning that we always come back. Food, on the other hand, is something else entirely-I hold out hope that one day she'll learn that we won't let her starve! I'm trying to figure out how to train her with out treats, because she completely loses her mind around them!
Last night I figured out we'll be having a few more furry friends running around the farm soon-a quick visit to the vet this morning proved my suspicions to be true-we'll have barn loads of kittens in a few weeks! Both Austria and Idaho are expecting. We are definitely going to have to look into getting them spayed again! Even so, we are looking forward to the kittens arrival with excitement and impatience :)
Matt's barn is up and we finished planting our garden at the perfect time-right before all this rain! I am SO excited!!! I love spring! I feel like Mr. Douglas off of "Green Acres" giving his speech about the little seeds :)
We have drawn up a design for a chicken coop and as soon as Matt gets a chance it will be going up, and as soon as that happens our order for chicks and guinea fowl is shipping out as well!
Being indoors drives me crazy so the boys and I spend as much time as possible outdoors, housework annoys me so much when the weather is beautiful! I keep wondering how I survived living in a subdivision for 3 years! :D My boys just crave being outside, and are usually little mud clumps by the end of the day, but I'll have to publish another post devoted to them ;)
