**The Farm**

If you remember, last year we attempted to raise chickens, a rabbit and cats.  Well it didn't pan out so well because some varmit got into my chicken coop leaving nothing but feathers from 10 chickens and a rabbit.  Originally, I rescued 2 litters of kittens from the pound ~ of those 11 cats, I ended up with 2.  Now to turn a sad story into a happy one...

I bought 12 chickens this spring at our local farm store, and they are all doing quite well!!

I'm not sure but I think I have a rooster in the bunch!!  It's still kind of early to tell but I'm pretty sure this is him :0

I adopted another rabbit ~ she's fed VERY well!!

The two cats that remained had 3 kittens!!

AND ~ My flowers are so pretty this year!!  That's just for my own pleasure that I had to stick this in!! 



**Home Sweet Home**

We are currently in the process of redoing the outside of our home.  What a task!!!  We decided to re-side/stone the house, add a front porch and put on a new garage door.  The crew has been working on it for a little over a week and you can tell there's progress!!

First we moved some of the landscaping,

Then we had to do clean out this concrete planter so that we could destroy it!!!  Oh happy day :0

Bye bye flower box...

They stripped off the siding and started building the front porch.  The stone is going to go around the picture window.

They installed my new garage door...BEAUTIFUL!!

Here's the south side of the house with the new siding.  LOVE LOVE LOVE!! 

I'll keep you posted with the progress of the farmhouse!!  :-)
