I think we have a small farm in our backyard. Not that this is a bad thing...I enjoy being able to go into my backyard and pick fresh raspberries and other veggies...cooking with fresh eggs from our chickens. My Mom calles my Dad a "Gentleman Farmer".
Honestly...one day I come home from work on a Saturday, and I find a box of chicks just outside of the garage, my Dad working in the yard building a chicken coop. After talking to him, I find out that it was like, this almost split decision that he had had that morning. :) Go figure. My Dad, the split-decision maker. NOT! My Dad doesn't do anything without doing extensive research, which is one of the things I love best about him. But I suppose every now and again, everybody has to make an impetuous decision.
So now, not only do we have a garden, consisting of 2 large raised beds, a raspberry patch and a grape patch...but also chickens as well. :)
This morning I sent my little sister out to get the eggs. We get so many eggs that we have to give them away! It's like when our old Bishop planted 6 zuchini plants, when like...half of one zuchini plant will produce PLENTY for a family of 5-6, and they all had to give a ton of it away. It's the same thing with us and our eggs. :) Isn't is awesome to be able to share things? :D Farmville in your very own backyard! :) lol
Other than that, it was a pretty relaxed day. It gave me a lot of time to think about a lot of things...however I think I'll hold that until another blog. :) It's getting late.
Live life to the fullest extent!!
