The chicken coop build has taken longer than expected, with Nate being out of town so much we are limited. I’m so excited about having the posts up, hopefully we can get the roof on soon and get her enclosed! 🙌😊 I know the chickens and turkeys will sure be happy about it!

I had an amazing birthday weekend, so thankful for where God has placed us in this life.
Saturday my dad gifted me this awesome four wheeler and Sunday Nate fixed up the old trailer my Uncle gave us when we moved. 🙌😊
This will make work so much easier and allow us to accomplish so much more!

Nate Watkins doing the hard work of clearing down trees from the river, these trees fell up stream from our water system and are near our swimming hole. Good job 👏

Makes my heart happy that they enjoy hanging out in the garden.

Pretty happy with this brooder build we did! I had the bright idea to use an old twin box spring and Nate Watkins helped me get it finished up and ready for occupants. We can split it into 2-4 sections if needed, should be fairly easy to clean out and it’s fairly easy to move if needed.

This was made completely out of materials/scraps we already had, only money spent was $4 on hinges from Habitat For Humanity Restore.
