Best Laid Plans
February 12, 2008|Comments (none)
Above are the Bantams enjoying the great weather of late. Our little hen laid an egg in the front yard yesterday! Here it is (with a marker for you to see that it is so tiny):
We’ve been catching up on the site lately… trying to get to all the pages that have the little “sorry this page is under construction” at the bottom. This is quite a task! Today I’ll photograph my homemade boiling water canner and I will make some jam with the berries in the freezer.
We have so many plans and ideas for this year. Josh will upgrade the saltwater tank, fence the front yard, and dig out the pond in the back. I’ve been promised a new stove to replace the one that has all but completely failed. All of these things require money (that dreadful but necessary evil). So, the boat had to be posted to Craigslist. This is very sad. When I look at that boat, I think about how thrilled Josh was when we purchased it. We had this summer planned: hard work paid for in full by even a few hours on the lake in our very own boat. In truth, the boat is a fair trade for another step toward making our farming dreams a reality. Here’s one of my favorite pictures of my wonderful husband:
Thank you for helping to name our two new Ameraucanas! We went with the majority (pictures soon).
Try this quiz and test your knowledge: How well do you know Razor Farms?
Tell us how you did!

Please leave us a comment. We love reading them and feel that they are the best part of the site. Thank you!
Apparently I’m an expert.
Sorry about the boat. I’m sure in due time though you’ll be able to get another boat and hang out on the lake any time you want. We’ve never had a boat. Ever. We live close enough to a river it’s less than a five minute walk to get to the shore and we’ve never owned a boat. Which is just as well since I can’t swim anyway lol. There’s a story behind that one but I’ll share some other time!
The quiz was fun! I scored as an expert! I surprised myself. Thanks for all the effort you put into your site. It is truly enjoyable time spent here. Sorry to hear about the boat…but you two are young and will have plenty of time to get one again. Stay focused on your dreams and they all will come true!
Thank you, Leah and Sami! Expert… WOW! You two are amazing! Thank you for the comforting words. Sometimes I find it really hard to see the forest for the trees!!
Hi there. I just wanted to say thanks for coming by to offer get-well wishes; that was very thoughtful of you, and very kind. I’m not well yet but I’m working on it…
Have a great day, and if you want to, drop by for Hump Day Happenings; I managed to get it up, although I have no idea what I posted…
So sorry to hear about your boat. I’m sure the two of you will be able to get another one. I know it doesn’t replace the one you have now.
We used to have a small fishing boat just bigger than a canoe. I personally hate boats as they make me sick, but dear hubby loves them and loved that boat. When we had our 3rd son, we were without insurance. He was hospitalized at 10 days old and we couldn’t get him out until he was almost 2 months old. We sold our house, boat, everything of value except our cars to pay the bill. My husband almost cried. I know how that works. I love this site. I can’t wait to hear about the canning! I’ve always wanted to learn how!

Menina’s egg is so tiny, what a wonderful idea to have the marker next to it for a comparative. The picture of Joshua is a very good one, we can see why it is one of your favorites.
Raul and I both are experts.
