Homestead pics



This cute little squirrel ate everything in the wooden feeder out front and has moved onto one of the feeders out back. At this rate his friends will be rolling him around.😜


A few days in a row we had Turkey out back. I have not seen them since we snapped the pics. This is the first year we have ever had wild turkeys.



This weekend hubby planted our 3 dwarf fruit trees and my Pussy willows. We will put mulch around them this coming weekend.
This past week we haf quite a wind storm.  Our pool ended up in a big pile of twisted metal. Our trampoline had the same thing happen to it.
We were able to get the yard all clean this weekend. Next weekend my garden will be tilled!! I just need to figure where our herb garden is going.
Have a great week!

Homestead Update

Been since St. Patrick's Day  that I have updated. We have been busy with just everyday life.
The chics and ducks are growing so quickly.  The ducks reputation for being very messy is completely true and they can shoot poop almost across the room if they are back to the cage. We are constantly rinsing their water container as it almost looks muddy. Today we went and got a 50 lb. Bag of food for them as they were going through a small bag in less than a week!!
My 2 bleeding heart plants came in the mail today and I planted those. I also got 3 bulbs from Holland that have to be soaked in water for 2-4 hours to promote growth then I will plant those.  If the snow ever stops being forecast we will plant our trees.







Here are my beautiful crocus

πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™World Autism DayπŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Today we celebrated world Autism Day.
For the month of April we will leave this up.
I had 4 kiddos home and we all wore blue today.

Autism touches my life every day. I'm very blessed on this journey among the struggles.  I also have a nephews with Autism. πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™
My ducks had a fabulous swim yesterday in our tub. I laughed because our tub was disgusting.



Here is a couple of pics after the ducks were done.

Needless to say the tub had a great scrubbing afterwards. I was hoping to snap a picture today but I didn't have my phone on me. The chics like to lay on top of the ducks and sleep now. It is the cutest thing to see.
