Welcome to our new Blog!

We have been meaning for a long time to keep a diary of our adventures in farming. I finally was at the computer when the idea hit me to look for a blog site.

We are constantly amazed by our life on a farm. We used to live in Memphis, living the Yuppie life, driving a sports car, working the DINK lifestyle (dual income, no kids). Then we moved back to Alabama, and God finally blessed us with a child. When she was three, we took our daughter to a festival. In the petting zoo, she wanted no animal BUT the black banty rooster. She was fearless with the chickens, and it was difficult to get her to put the little rooster down and leave.

So began our lives with chickens, and over the last few years, a whole menagerie of animals.

Now we don't want to be anywhere but home with our animals. Well, Katie and I love our office/art studio. And now that we have Maggie May, our new pup, Katie has a playmate.

LIFE IS GOOD ON THE FARM!
