"The language of friendship is not words, but meanings."

Well, we have fantastic friends and family.  We recently had them over for a coop raising!  We tore down an old out building and used some of the salvaged lumber (plus materials from various other places) to begin building a chicken coop!  We had a wonderful time.  There was chili, cornbread, and beer for all.  We would be rather lost without all of you guys!  We managed to get about half of all construction done in a single day.  We'll chip away at the rest as we can.

We plan on chicks in the Spring.  We would also like to invest in a couple of goats but we have been having trouble finding the right ones at the right price.  We would like to buy them as kids and raise them for a season before getting into the business of milking.

Our son is growing beautifully alongside our farm-to-be.  We've been having a ball going to consignment shops and to the Belfast baby fair to find used clothes and toys for Charlie.  It's amazing how little we've had to spend on keeping him diapered, clothed, and fed thus far.  It's that time of year to stock up on warm winter clothes but there are ways to do it on the cheap!



Here are some photos from the day!
