Our first Aaracona Eggs

Our Aaracona hen has finally laid her first eggs. This is the natural shell color. We did not color these.

A walk around Green Acre's

Ok, so I walked around the property today. :) I took several pictures and thought I would share them. Here is our Apple tree. We planted this last year.

And here you can see that it has bloomed.

Here is our Peach tree. We planted this one last year also. A few days ago, it was loaded with blooms. But unfortunatly, they were short lived. And of course I did not get any pictures then.
Next time I will know to take pictures right away.

This is what I found out back.

Pretty scary looking, huh?

Oh and have I said that our chickens are laying??? Oh my goodness. What to do with all the eggs. We have well over 60 eggs right now, and I have allready given away 3 dozen. I guess I should consider letting them hatch some of these little guys. Baby chicks are sooo cute.
Can you see the egg in there?? That is the favorite place for the hens to lay there eggs. It is an old rusted out barrel. I was going to get rid of it, but the hens love it. We didn't check that spot for 3 days and found 19 eggs in there last week.

Please meet Quackers. She has been so lonesome.

So we got her some new buddies!!! They are sooo cute.
They don't have names yet. But I am sure we will come up with some names for them later.


Well, I have tons more pictures, but will save them for another day. :)

Our Bradford Pear Trees

I took pictures of our trees for 5 days in a row. They sure did blossom fast!

Cold Day

It is a really cold day today. But it sure is pretty outside. Here are a few pictures from out our front door. If you look close you may be able to see the leaves flying in the sky.

Oh No!

Well, if it wasn't for bad luck, I guess we wouldn't have any luck. I woke up to find out we have no water. I am not sure if the well has run dry or if pipes are frozen somewhere or what. And my husband is gone for the day. What a day this is going to be. Ido hope it isn't anying too major.

Hmmm, I don't have to do any laundry today. Thats a good thing..... Or is it? ???? Hope everyone has a great day today.

Update: Finally around 8pm our water is working again. The pump needed to be primed. My hubby came home and saved the day!!

Around the Farm

Look what I found in the nest box today!!! Love those fresh eggs!!

This is Sam, one of our cool Muscovys.

Here is Allie Saying. "Is it time yet??"

Here is one of our crazy Black Giant Hens.

This is one of my favorite places to read. I love reading Tracie Peterson, Janette Oke and the Bible.
