This year we finally feel like we get to stay put. We aren't moving soon for school or moving because we are finishing school! :-) So we finally feel like we can have animals and work on having the kind of yard and garden that we have always wanted. We all have put in time into our new sprinkling system and in planting a garden. It got started pretty late this year because we had other things that had to be done first. But we got our very first veggie the other day, it was exciting!
After our garden we got working on our animal area. We have done a lot with it but we are just starting to work on a barn/chicken coop building. We got some chickens this spring and have been having fun watching them grow. We are even getting eggs from the bigger ones. The kids love going out and finding them!
We have other animals too. We had 2 bunnies from before, but now we have 2 more. Eric has always wanted some flemish giant rabbits and I found some. So now we have 4 rabbits. They are so cute and we are very happy that they have finally decided that they can get along with each other.
We kept promising the kids that we would get a dog when Eric was out of school. Obviously that couldn't happen last year with us not even knowing where we were going to end up living, but this year we had to make it happen. We have looked for quite a while and Wednesday we found the perfect puppy. He's young enough to learn to get along with the other animals well, and he's calm enough that he won't go bonkers all the time and need attention every minute. His name is buddy.
I don't know why but my blog is not letting me add pictures right now, so I will have to try that tomorrow.
It has been an exciting summer of new things!
