Blog Party Down On The Farm!!

The party is on!!! We are thrilled to take part in the Blog Party this year. I will tell you a little bit about us.

Michael and I will be married for 32 years as of next week. We really grew up together. I am truly blessed by the man that God has allowed me to spend my life with. God also blessed us with one Son and then with a precious Daughter-in-love. Here is our son...

And his beautiful wife.

We have also been blessed to live on a farm. We try to grow or raise as much of our own food as we can. We sell some to try and offset the costs. Probably our most famous farm animal is Buttercup, our Jersey cow. She is 15 years old and is gentle and sweet and gives the best milk you ever tasted, with cream that mounds up on a spoon.

Star is another famous part of our farm. :) She is an Australian Shepherd. She is now 13 years old and been the best dog that we have ever known.

This is our newest addition, Skye. She is also an Australian Shepherd. She is not a year old yet and full of energy.

We raise cows for beef as well.

This is my little corner of the house. I spend a lot of time in this corner in the winter time. The stove you see is the heating source for our house.

We also raise Shetland Sheep.
I was able to complete a dream project of mine last year. I made a shawl from the wool of my herd matriarch, Sunshine. Here is my sweet Daughter-in-love modeling it for me.

We also pasture raise broilers in the summer and turkeys for Thanksgiving. We raise pigs every so often as well. We try to garden each year and can and freeze the fruit of our labor.

We have an online store that carries all sorts of kitchen equipment and things to help around your homestead. We are also sponsoring one of the prizes for the Blog Party. Click on our logo to check out our store.
