So this weekend we didn't get to make too much progress again. It's not as much fun when we don't get to see as much change over a weekend. But we do have a log cabin restoration specialist scheduled to come out and meet with us on Wednesday morning. I'm excited to hear what he… Continue reading Weekend Ten

3 Weeks Old
From the above blurry image, it's easy to tell these chicks are getting difficult to catch on camera while all six are sitting still! It's hard to believe we've already had this little chicks for 3 whole weeks today. But after seeing some baby chicks at the farm store this weekend, it's even harder to… Continue reading 3 Weeks Old
Week Two with the Chicks
So week two with the chicks included a couple of little scares for this brand new first time chick mama. We've been trying hard to keep handling the chicks as I've been told that it makes them friendlier adult chickens (and personally, I would like to have friendly chickens!). Before we get into that, here's… Continue reading Week Two with the Chicks
Weekend Nine
(Fair warning: it was a slow weekend in terms of work done and progress made on the Cabin) This weekend we didn't do a whole lot of work to the Cabin. Really, we spent a little time cleaning up the piles from the previous weekends and ended up spending more time mountain biking (and there… Continue reading Weekend Nine
Week One Done
Today marks one week with the chicks, and they're all still with us! Hurray! The first night I could barely sleep because I was so worried they might not make it through the night. Being a rookie at caring for chicks it felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders those first… Continue reading Week One Done

Addition Take Down: Part Two! Would you believe it if I told you it snowed twice more this week?! Neither would I. But it did. Weird. There's still snow in places where the sun doesn't shine much, but it's melting! This weekend we worked hard to get the remainder of the addition removed so that… Continue reading Weekend Eight
Chicks!
When we decided that we were going to get a property with my In-Laws, it went like this: my idea was a farm with every kind of animal imaginable and a beautiful home and little kids running around with grandma and grandpa a quick walk down (or up) the driveway. I'm pretty sure my Mother-in-Law's… Continue reading Chicks!
Weekend Seven: Addition Take Down (Part One)
Initially, I was going to call this post, "Addition Tear Down"; but I woke up this morning feeling like I had been in a fight - so it evolved. Seriously, I was SO sore this morning. My abs, my back, my hamstrings, my shoulders, my ELBOWS (what? why??), SO SORE. I had lofty goals for… Continue reading Weekend Seven: Addition Take Down (Part One)
