June 2017


June Memories


Every evening the ducks follow me back to their pen for dinner

I'll remember this as when I only had 11 ducks! lol

We rehomed our mean rooster Rocky. He was making the morning feeding unbearable with his constant flogging!
However, Rocky did leave us with a parting gift. This mama hen hatched 4 baby chicks after he left
Unfortunately, a few weeks later a predator would come in and take them all





I was so proud of my harvest this year!


The kids joined art camp again this year, and the local newspaper snapped our photo as we were signing up!



Josiah participated in camp all week, but decided to sit out the performance

Mason lost his first 2 teeth on the same day in June! He was so excited. His teeth have been wiggling for days. The first tooth fell out in the Harvey's parking lot, and the second tooth came out that evening at home.




My sister Jessica, Mitch, and I, along with the kids creamed corn this summer. This was my first experience creaming corn and fortunately we did this by the pool, because this was a messy sticky job.








This was our end result!
We were proud to join the farmer's market this year, and even more excited when they asked us to take over and manage the market! Every Saturday we sold our duck eggs, chicken eggs, my homemade bread, produce that we pick from a local farm, and we advertised our turkeys


.
We bought more baby ducks for our little farm. These sweet ducklings are silver appleyard ducks.

We took several trips to Wild Adventures this summer. Mason and Josiah loved the wave pool.
