Things, Stuff, and more Things on the Farm

Hi, it's Grace again!  I'm sorry I haven't written very much, there aren't a lot of times when I get to write on here.
We have been doing lots of things, including; planting, caring for the animals, getting new animals and.. I can't think of anything else.  Maybe we haven't been doing that much.... anyway, since it's Spring we have been doing lots of planting in the garden, pots, and in the front yard.

Blurry picture of my lovely baby trees.
As you can see, I found a bunch of 2 inch tall baby maples sitting by the future broody house, and I decided to save them from the monster... Mr. Lawnmower, aka Tree Killer!  It actually started with me getting redbuds from the yard, but the maples were more interesting, and all the redbuds died.  The maple trees seem to be really healthy, and now I'm switching from spraying them, to actually using a watering can.  I'll try to put updates on here about them sometime.

The front of the house looked a little run down, because a lot of the plants died from last year's super hot and dry Summer.  So my mom left and bought some plants (mostly herbs) and is currently re-doing that whole place.  She also got some lavender and a thornless rose bush to plant there, and me and dad gave her some things to grow in the pond (cat tails and water lilies).  They come in plastic containers and you just take them out, get them ready, and throw them in the pond and they are supposed to start growing and spreading.  I might post some before and after pictures once she's done!


I'll probably post more about this Spring later, but in the mean time, please comment!  I would love to hear what you have to say!

Thank you for reading,
 Grace

Hi Grace, I enjoy reading your blog! I'm sorry you lost all the red-bud trees. The little maples are beautiful. We always have a lot of little trees come up in our yard each year as well.

Hello Kay! I'm so glad someone has been reading this blog! Thank you for the compliments on my trees, I've been trying hard to keep them alive. You basically made my day with your comment :D . Also, I saw photos of your new heifer, and she is absoloutely adorable! And I LOVE her name. She makes me want a little girl cow soooooo badly! I wish you good luck on the farm!

      If you got a rabbit for Easter, what would you do with it?

    hAVE A GREAT DAY!

    This is where Caroline and I (Grace) like to write about things that will be done, have been done, or are being done on the farm.  Enjoy!

    Stories from the kids.

    There is just nothing cuter than a baby rabbit. I'll bet that you and Caroline will be camped out at the cage when the wee bunnies arrive.  So, if
    I wanted to purchase a bunny from you, what would I need to know about care and
    feeding?

    Sue also said:...... Grace, you are going to be Queen of the Blog with your laptop!  I'm having fun
    following your adventures.

    Liz V. said:...... Hello -

    We are from Alabama and my kids love reading your blog!  Marley would like to try your hot chocolate recipe and wanted to let you know that she is a big fan of your farm.  (She loves all animals and Taekwondo!)
    Hope you and your family had a great Christmas!!

    Sue said:...... Here's hoping for lots of bunnies!  How many do you expect in a litter?
