Busy days.
christmas scents daily events farm farmer goat goats soy candles
Ok....so yea it's been a while since we blogged. Lots going on. We had two very successful events last weekend that have kept us busy along with Mae and her antics and the animals with theirs. We are sad to announce the passing of our sweet silver laced Wyandotte which was part if a small flock that we took on from a family in need. We take every loss very personal and will miss her dearly. We are trying to dry Marilyn out for the winter and are continuing to get a bountiful supply of milk from Etta which we...

Meet Etta Jo. She is a Nigerian Dwarf cross goat in full milk that we were able to welcome into our farm. We will be introducing her to the other girls over the next few days! This week has been very busy. We are finishing up some candles, salves, and lip balms for our events this weekend. We have launched two new lip balm flavors; Bubble Gum and BubbleMint. I will say the BubbleMint is absolutely my favorite. Starts nice and sweet with a bubbly flavor, and has you thinking for about 2 minutes "where the heck is the mint?"...

We've been so busy here. Between making candles/salve, blanching squash, and taking care of animals, we have been maxed out every night! We had to go to the grocery store today to pick up some sale items (which is SO much fun with a 2.5 year old). Before the grocery store we visited the local pet store which just happened to have goldfish on sale SO now we are the proud owners of a new fan tail goldfish that Mae has proudly named Goldie like Peppa Pig's goldfish. Dan is thrilled, and I'm sure Goldie is too. The poor unfortunate...

Thankfully, even though Mae ended up in the bed at 1, she slept extremely well until almost 7. Thank goodness because between her early morning antics and a super busy day at the vet I was beyond exhausted. Every time we thought we had caught up, another emergency walked in. It's days like that I'm grateful I work with an incredible team of doctors, techs and receptionists. Mae watched Polly Pocket while I got the animals done, tonight will be the night that the newly rescued chickens sleep in the big coop with the rest of the girls. It's always...
Market Day.

Wow. Today was a long day. It started when I woke up at 4:15am. This has been the case every day for about a week. No explanations. I moseyed on downstairs to watch an episode of Stranger Things on Netflix while the girls continues sleeping. Made some coffee and settled into my recliner for some chill time. Once 6 oclock came and I heard the girls starting to come to, I threw together a quick breakfast for us. Mae was other-worldly this morning. A complete terror. Nothing made her happy and from 6:00 until I left for the market she...
