July Reflections

Posted by: Maddy

The month of July was a really busy month. It was exciting too! We got pigs, sheep, meat chickens, and some really adorable puppys!!!! ( the puppy's names are Maggie and Lizzy. My mom named then after Margaret Thatcher and Elizabeth Elliot )  The highlight of the month for me was when Julianna came out for a week to stay with us. It was great to have a friend out for a week and we where all sad to see her go. She got to be a Coulter for a week and do all the farm chores with us. Moving the animals, watering and feeding them, cleaning up a junk pile on our land etc. She was a great help! And of course, there where some things we just did for fun. Like play in the pool, drawing and painting, exploring the woods, and baking. We also got to show her around some of Springfield and show her fun places we enjoy to go as well! The week went by too fast for me.

 It is now a new month , and who knows whats going to happen next! Last Saturday we celebrated Havi's 4th birthday, and then on Monday we got some more experience on processing chickens at another farm pretty close to us. Its amazing how much we have all learned out here! Today my mom and I have been trying to put the food from our garden to good use. We are making pickles, and salsa with the cucumbers and tomatoes we have.

Memories From March

Hello all! We're back again! Man, what a busy month! Several birthdays, fun events, farm life, and everyday happenings! Shall we begin? This month literally started out with Norah turning 11! Here's just a few of her birthday photos!  This year, Norah requested a doughnut cake! Two doughnuts a person! Let's just say we all felt horrible that night. Loading more pigs up  Isaiah still doesn't know what to think of the sheep Izzy and Mr. Grumpy Gills  Katherine started riding a two-wheeler bike, with a little help from the training wheels! She could totally be a model!  Chick season has come around the corner...again! This will always be a favorite!  They make for good pets...when they're little anyway!  When you don't have a tractor and you need to seed the fields...  ...and chop broom grass down When Mom's not putting the food in your mouth fast enough  Meet the new bull calf, Demitri! ...

Izzy's 12 Year Old Pictures

Now that Isabelle has been 12 for a month now, I finally got around to getting her pictures done! This post will be short and sweet and a big long one will be coming soon (hopefully)!

JULY

Hello everyone!!  Hope you all had a great July!! :) Ours included a 4th of July celebration, a brand new litter of 10 pigs, stocking up on hay for the winter months, a gun safety course we three older ones went through, a chicken butchering day, topped off with Ava Park fun with friends, a trip to Silver Dollar City, and creek fun!  Shall we begin? Our enthusiastic grill major for the 4th of July. I’m not sure about her, but the food was a 5+ rating! Can’t get more patriotic than this picture *wink* Whenever friends stop by for a visit and bring a cake,  there will be no complaints here!….Until everyone gets a sugar high. In honor of the 4th, I’ll share one of my favorite quotes: “Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. Thank them both today.” Ended the night with a bang, like (I’m assuming) everyone else did! And the very next day,… 10 of ‘em born on the 5th....
