<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The weather has been so nice that I was able to plant some bulbs. I have always wanted to plant around this stump, but was unable to because it used to be a tree, and it never got enough sun under the branches. But hey! The tree is gone, and I now have sunlight! I planted 80 tulip bulbs and 80 daffodils. Come on spring!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look what I found! This is called an egg skelter. You leave it on your counter and you put the eggs that you get from your peeps at the top. They roll down to the front so you will always use the oldest egg first. Do I leave my eggs on the counter all the time? You bet. When I bake, the recipe always call for a room temp egg and I could never remember to take them out of the fridge. Waa-laa! I always have room temp eggs. Can you do this with store bought eggs? No. Store bought eggs have been washed so they won't last as long as an unwashed egg.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was cooking in the kitchen today and happened to look out the window towards the coop. Something wasn't right, and I was going to continue to stare at it until I see movement of any kind. Finally I saw it. See the bird house on top of the grape arbor? Yeah. That turkey isn't supposed to be there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right now there is a cow in the cupboard. We really aren't sure where the stove is going. We thought we would put it where our free standing stove is in the dining room, but we kind of want the option of heating with propane if need be. We have a contractor coming out this week to give us some pointers. It would be nice to be able to keep the propane stove, but we'll see. Stay tuned. And stay warm. Beside a wood cook stove. With a cup of tea. You get my drift.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been so long since I've updated! We've been busy here at the farm! First off, here is a hawk, I think, that we found. I was putting the peeps to bed and heard some noise coming from the apple tree behind the coop. I mean, it was a lot of noise - from up above in the branches. I walked towards the apple tree wondering what was up there - it couldn't be any of my peeps because I had just closed up the coop. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I got closer to the apple tree, this bird fell almost at my feet! I had Farm Man pick it up and bring it over to the back of the truck so we could get a closer look at it. I think it is a hawk, and his head was injured and bleeding. Not long after this photo, the bird died. Now I don't know what was happening in the apple tree - whether there was another hawk or maybe an eagle that this bird was fighting, but either way, I have never had a hawk fall at my feet before.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For some reason, I noticed a lot of grasshoppers this year. The sound of the grasshoppers takes me back to age seven, living in Texas with my Aunt and Uncle. I'm not sure if having grasshoppers is a good or bad thing, but they brought back a lot of good memories for me this summer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since we now have a view, there has been so much happening! I can't believe we have missed all the going ons for years! A couple of days ago, a couple on a motorcycle hit a deer on route 6 in front of our house. The motorcycle went down an incline, and the bright lights you see in the middle of the photo are the cops, fire engines and the ambulances. They closed down the highway in both directions and a helicopter landed to take one of the people to the hospital. Traffic was directed to come right in front of our house. You might ask yourself, wow, how much traffic does Lebam have? Well, it was a Saturday evening, beautiful weather, and perfect for bike riding.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope everyone is having a great long weekend! It has been nice not hearing the excavator or the logging trucks at 5 in the morning! Even though tomorrow is a holiday, Mark will be here to start on some clean up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At last count we were up to 43 logging truck loads! And we aren't finished! As you can see, I had Mark leave the two trees down in the front by the driveway. They are called cathedral trees, and they are just so awesome that we wanted them left alone. If they were rotted in any way, Mark would have taken them down.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you can see, my babies have grown. I integrated these three in with the other peeps and tonight will be their first night with them. I am 99% sure that the buff silkie is a rooster. As soon as I moved them in with the other peeps, he did a little dance for a hen. Gosh dang it! I didn't want another rooster! I am so glad that Max didn't see that little dance!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We even had to pull the plastic back from the corn because the corn grew so tall. I've never really had a problem with my garden - my veggies have always done well. It was just that I had to give a lot of green tomatoes to the goats - it was like my growing season was just too short. Every fall the goats ate loads of green tomatoes, and veggies that just didn't ripen during the summer. This is the first year that I have had ripe tomatoes in July! Amazing! The goats are going to be lucky if they get anything out of it this year. I take that back - all the leaves that I trimmed from my squash and tomatoes went to the goats.</span></div>

For those of you that don't know my grandma, she loved her Estee Lauder. So anytime I smell it, it reminds me of her. She is 99 and lives in Portland. So anyhow, I picked Tully up to take her out for a pee, and bam! Estee Lauder! Then I noticed the little blanket that Tully was using....yep, that little lap blanket was grandmas. Even though that blanket has been washed many times, it still has the lingering smell of grandma's perfume. You know, now that I think about it, maybe this wasn't a lap blanket. I think it used to be bigger but for some unknown reason, has shrunk. Hence why Tully is using it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Can anyone tell me what time it is? Raspberry jam time! When I was a teenager, I used to pick raspberries...and I absolutely hated it! Picking the berries was no problem...it was the spiders that hung out in the vines. Ewww! And everyone knows how much I hate spidies! I buy my berries down the road at another farm. And I buy them already picked! The price went up this year to $20 a flat which holds 12 1/2 pints. I'm thinking that the price is still pretty good. Especially since I didn't have to pick them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also put up some applesauce. We have a transparent apple tree and really, the only thing you can do with transparents is make applesauce. No sugar added. Just apples and cinnamon.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello! Yes, I'm back! We just have so much going on here at Fuzzy Heart Farm that I wanted to include all of our family and friends! Plus, Farm Man has been bugging me forever to start another blog! What better way than Living The Country Life?! As you can see from the above photo we are logging! Correction...we are logging EVERYTHING!!! Well, except the fruit, maple and cascara trees. Let me tell you about the sunshine!! We have lots of sunshine!! We have sunshine where it hasn't shined in over 65 years! As you can tell, I am pretty excited! These fir trees are too big - they should have been logged years ago. We were getting so sick and tired of our farm looking like a war zone after every wind storm. So far, our shop, laundry room and main house roofs were damaged due to flying limbs. It was only a matter of time before one of the animals or even one of us, got hurt. So we hired Mark and his crew who started logging the trees in the back and halfway up the side. Once they have those trees loaded, then they will work on the front and the rest of the sides. We have lots of trees - estimated about 40-50 logging trucks full. Now after reading this, you are probably thinking "Hey Farm Girl, what about all that fencing Farm Man put up?!" Well, lets talk about our fencing! Farm Man and his brother had to take down ALL of the fencing from the back! Yes, some of it was temporary fencing, but some of it wasn't. We've had to move some animals around, but our animals <i>LOVE </i>change. (ahem!) I will get to the changes in a moment. In the mean time, take a peek at my garden:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Farm Man put up two huge hoop houses for me. They are about 12 feet tall, 12 feet wide and 40, (yes, you read that right - forty) feet long! I absolutely love them!!! The number one reason I wanted hoop houses was to extend my growing season. As you can see from the photo above, my veggies are doing awesome! I should have done this years ago! But you live and learn. (And learn some more!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They are enjoying their life at the farm. They haven't been integrated with the other peeps yet - in due time. Maybe once the logging is finished and the babies are a bit older and bigger. The turkeys are pretty big now though, and could probably hold their own. I love my turkeys! They are so friendly, and love to talk. They also love to eat. In fact, they get 3 boiled eggs every morning for breakfast. Just don't tell the guinea's. Yes, I am using the guinea eggs to feed the turkeys. Shhhhh. Ewww....I haven't really thought that through...that isn't cannibalism is it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are the guineas. I am up to 8. Let me rephrase that. I am up to a LOUD 8! And let me tell you a little something about guineas. Everyone knows how loud they can be when something is just a little different - like a leaf blowing around. Well, try cutting down trees - 3 chain saws going, trees falling down here and there, and over all of that noise you can hear the guineas. I don't make this stuff up! So, if you live up north from us, or south, and was wondering what all that noise was, it was our guineas. Sorry about that.</span></div>

Hey, I love trees too! And for those of you that are shaking your head, disbelieving the destruction of our property, just remember this...oh never mind. I have already explained how dangerous it has been, the damage that has been done, and it is amazing how many tree huggers there really is out there. It is amazing how people talk about how we should have left our trees, and yet their property is empty of trees. AND they live in a house built with wood! Whats up with that? Blah blah blah! Enough already! </span></div>

Here are five of them - Bo (who is our billy goat and he is on the very left in the above photo), he was born April 10th of this year, Twitter, (she is on the beams) and her birthday is April 4th. Then also in the photo is Prudence and Emma Louise. We also have Prudence's daughter Addie who you can see right behind Twitter's behind, and then we have two nigerian dwarfs, Vicki and Julia who we have sold to Mark. Hopefully Bo will have done his duty to the girls, and we should have babies next year! And when Mark takes Julia and Vicki home towards the end of the year, they will also be pregnant.</span></div>
