Minnesota winter has been so nice to us lately. I mean how often can I wear a moo moo and crocs with no socks to do chores on Christmas Eve?!?!
While we enjoy the warmer weather, the holidays flew by with no snow and a very brown Christmas. We are so lucky to have had such a great year, slowing down and really enjoying the time at home. The chickens continue to lay lots and lots of eggs, the bees are hopefully keeping nice and warm, the goats are busy getting jiggy with it, and the ducks have really enjoyed being able to roam free in the yard. The goal is baby goats in spring this year and not the dead of winter when it's colder than cold and we continue to pay for the high electric bill. Luna Bell has made a full recovery from being blind, Mindy aka Princess is currently off limits from boy friend visits, and the other three goats are just annoyed a boy is visiting. Garden seeds have been ordered, another hive has been ordered and grandma is going to join in the bee keeping fun next year with 2 hives of her own. So what are our goals for 2024? 1. Another successful honey harvest and getting the 3rd hive up and running. 2. Adding more goats with a dream of some hair sheep 3. A slight decrease in chickens. 4. Hatching some auto sexing chickens 5. Butcher chickens 6. Moving the raspberries to a raised garden 7. Planting more apple trees the goals are always growing, and changing the goals as needed What are your goals for 2024? What new things do you want to plan in 2024?
