I don't think it ever leaves you, though. It's just who we are. It's always good to hear from you, Kymber.<br /><br />Fern<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-85037690267629951972015-06-01T21:44:18.263-05:002015-06-01T21:44:18.263-05:00Stay tuned for Frank's hatchery news.

There are a few things that will have to wait while I pick berries. Some of them are so ripe they fall off the vine as soon as you touch them. I need a few more of them to make their way into my bucket tomorrow. And, Just Me, there is always time for goats. Especially if you like them as much as I do.

Sorry about that. And yes, we are still busy with gravel, floor leveling, making cheese, picking berries, hatching chicks, weaning kids...... But the sun is shining!!!! Yippee! I know you can't tell I'm happy, but I was in dire need of sunshine. It's great!

When we ask people we get several<br />answers. We live in East TX and have a lot of rain. I solicit your recommendations.<br />Thanks and keep up with the great service that you provide.<br /><br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-15010678875517293222015-05-30T16:20:32.696-05:002015-05-30T16:20:32.696-05:00when you get time i'd like an update on the sh...when you get time i'd like an update on the shampooless experiment and the sauerkraut. thanks.deb harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110992898072146282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-67947578837039814352015-05-30T16:11:15.728-05:002015-05-30T16:11:15.728-05:00Fern - thank goodness that it seems to be the end ...Fern - thank goodness that it seems to be the end of the rain for you guys - maybe my reverse raindancing worked - bahahahah! you are right - there is always work to be done on a homestead - major projects, minor projects, daily jobs and surprises - it's just the way of living such a life! i am very glad that your chicks are all hatching - that's wonderful news! and i love your goats and pigs - i am sure they provide hours of the best kind of entertainment. you and Frank have certainly been busy and i love reading about all that you both do - you guys are both true teachers!<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-51217053766866303762015-05-30T12:15:25.793-05:002015-05-30T12:15:25.793-05:00Yes, please -- I wanna hear about the chicks! Hubb...Yes, please -- I wanna hear about the chicks! Hubby and I are getting ready to dive into chicken ownership and I always look forward to reading Frank's thoughtful articles on that. They are so helpful! <br /><br />Meanwhile, now that the rain is letting up, I see plenty of chores have piled up at your place. Finally, you can make some progress! Thank Goodness!<br /><br />Reading about your days makes me wonder if I'm ready for goats again. I loved my 2 Alpines so when I had them a few years ago. I miss their happy bleating and prancing in a freshly cleaned barn with fresh hay in the feeders...smile.<br /><br />Just Me<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-72433300157456342042015-05-30T00:54:41.794-05:002015-05-30T00:54:41.794-05:00Fern, I'm glad you'll be getting a break f...Fern, I'm glad you'll be getting a break from the rain. You're right, you two have been busy with the gravel, berries, chickens, goats, pigs, and garden. I really enjoy reading about your lives and all that you've accomplished and learned. The pictures add a lot, too. Tell Frank I look forward to his chicken article.CentennielMagnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256656771993531467noreply@blogger.com
