The weather outside is //
As I look outside my window // The garden is calling me! Thank goodness the forecast looks mild. I have most of the pathway wood chips pulled out and am hoping we can get a gravel delivery late in the week. Other farm tasks on the docket: organizing the shed to accommodate a big feed order, doing a check for any baby chick products we might need to reorder, and starting to fertilize a few beds for some cool-weather crops.
As I look around the house // We’re currently living in a house with a hundred in-progress projects going on. I have a new dishwasher in my kitchen waiting to be installed, a box of bookshelf pieces waiting to be assembled, Valentine gifts waiting to be boxed up and sent to far-away family, etc etc. It’s chaos and while I wish my house looked tidier, I’m trying to lean into this season and take it one task at a time. It’ll all get done eventually.
Introducing // our new little kitten! We are quickly reaching zoo status around here. As someone who never had pets growing up, I still can’t believe this is the life I have now, ha! He is just the sweetest tiny little thing and we are all in love.
On this week’s to-do list //
– get the dishwasher installed
– mop the kitchen floor
– bake bread
– work on valentines to mail to far away relatives
– finish our taxes
– organize the shed to accommodate a new bulk feed order
– research automatic waterer options for the pigs to use when the temperature warms up

OMG, that kitten. Can you hear me squealing at the cuteness all the way from PA? because for real. (luckiest kitty ever to live at your home and farm!)
He is the cutest little thing. Thankfully, he’s made himself right at home and has playmates galore, ha!
Oh that kitten!!! It makes me want one so badly!
What’s his name?
The kids named him Pete (after the much loved book, Pete the Cat) but he also responds to Peter and “Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater”, ha!
Kittens are so cute…I think it’s those big eyes. This was posted on my dog’s first birthday on the other side of the rainbow bridge… enjoy all the years you get next to him!
