BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

[MorelCabin]

Glad to hear you are alright, and the farm is life as usual for the critters...heehee!

Our internet has been sketchy lately so I understand! We miss you but you are probably getting lots of things done! Good luck on the buns and ducks!

James update!!!

(he asked me to pass this on)

As mentioned previously, the storm that hit them a few weeks ago (not this week's storms) caused some minor damage for them that has resulted in connectivity issues which they haven't been able to get fixed yet. Otherwise, everything else is okay.

As those of you who know him can imagine, he is still one busy guy!!! Buns, chicken, gardens, and everything else - oh my.

Hope you're back, soon, youngin!

Thanks for the update, FJ. I've been wondering how he is, and been hoping he and his family are OK. If you hear from him again, let him know I've been thinking of him, and miss him.

Hi Jamester!!! Hope to see ya soon little buddy

Whew! Glad to see you're all right, BarredBuff! I heard about the tornadoes and stuff and remembered you live in that area, so I had to make sure you were all right.



Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I really enjoy doing my journal thing, but I felt like I wasn't interesting enough, so it was just awkward for me. I'll be on every now and then.

Im just about to bawl at the computer. Its goods to know I have been missed. I havent had internet at my house for three weeks and its been one mess after another to clean up so I havent had time to get it fixed neither has mom. Summer is gonna be long as usual. For two weeks (not back to back) in both June and July I will be with my Dad. Away from the Homestead. Luckily the garden is the Granny and the Mom's thing so they get that done well without me. I help when I can. Then in June on the weeks Im not with dad I have 3 days and 2 night of the Kentucky FFA COnvention. Im competing there. Im also a chapter representative there to. Then after a this convention week its FFA camp for 4 night and 5 days. Then this month I have stuff going on as well. Banquets, Prom and other things. So in list form is a Homestead update:
*The Duck went broody and is due on the 18th I think she has 15 or 16 eggs under her
*I got 16 Australorp chicks on the 22nd, they are doing well. No losses.
*The new rabbit had her kits. She had 6 and lost one. So I have 5 babies running around in the cage. Im gonna keep all the females. Im not sure what Im gonna do with the males yet. I may try and butcher them.
*The Baby Buffs are not babies anymore. They are HUGE. I have 3 maybe 4 pullets out of them.
*All the ducks are laying now. Im not letting these brood yet.
*The hens have slowed down some.
*We have a bunch of plants in the screened in porch and in the float bed.
*The meaties got butchered. They were huge! I was thrilled. They are for supper tommorow night.

Then for the last week I have had this sense of dread. Like SHTF stuff is going to happen. Its just hit me all of the sudden and I dont know why.

Glad to hear you're OK. I get that feeling at times, and nothing has ever happened. Just remember, the Lord is on your side.
