As seems to be the trend we have been very busy! Dan was at a holiday indoor market in Colchester on Saturday and met a lot of great people while Mae and I bummed around the house a bit and cleaned coops and hutches. Later in the morning we went to Adams Adventure, a playground designed for kids with all kinds of disabilities. Mae loves it there because she gets to be a bit more independent and can climb the stairs and go down the slide on her own! Sunday was a busy day as well. Mae and I went...

So yet again we have been super busy! Lately we've been making bundled gift baskets, mixing lavender sachet mix and making cheese from our goat milk.

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.
