Happy Monday y’all!

Watching my boys fall in love with animals the way I did when I was younger will never get old🖤

Bolty got himself a special treat today after a visit to the vet to have bloodwork done.

A routine trip last week turned into a diagnosis for Ehrlichia and Lyme—both easily preventable tick-borne diseases.

Hopefully a month of antibiotics will be enough to nip these two nasty illnesses in the bud, but we are sending out bloodwork to check his kidney/platelet/liver/WBC levels.
If caught early, both are easily treated with a month-long course of antibiotics, but unfortunately they can go undetected and “non-symptomatic” for a long time…while unknowingly wreaking havoc inside a pup’s body.

This is totally on me as an owner.
I should have had him on proper tick prevention.
And he will forevermore be on it.
But my heart is definitely hurting knowing that I let my sweet boy down by not doing everything I should have to keep him healthy.

Please, if you have an outdoor dog (or a dog that goes outside—aka ALL OF THEM😉)…put them on flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

As a LGD, Bolt, is a literal lifesaver for us. The least I can do for him is try to give him a long, happy, HEALTHY life.🩶🩶

You’ve heard the excuse “the dog ate my homework”, but what about “the DUCK ate my homework”?

We were getting ready to do school outside when one of the papers flew into the pig pen (which is currently also housing our ducks).
Our pig promptly started nibbling on it and then the ducks got curious and ripped it completely apart.

I guess we didn’t need to do that lesson anyways😅🤣

This is, without a doubt, the best trade I’ve ever made in my life.

A local tattoo artist made a post in our bartering page asking for help putting up fencing in trade for doing tattoo work.
I had been wanting to get a birth flower bouquet done for my family, so I immediately messaged her to say we would help.

Turns out, they have a lot of fencing to do. So to make the trade more fair she said she would trade days of work.
As of right now, we’re doing two full days of work for two full days of tattoos.

I’ve also always thought sleeves were cool, so I asked if she could do a half sleeve with farm animals. I told her what animals I wanted, but told her I trusted her to come up with the rest.
And boy, did she make a beautiful piece of art!

I go back next month to have the shading done; because after sitting for 6 hours, I was ready to be done for the day.
I can’t wait to see how it looks when it’s finished!!

We leave for a week, and I swear the kits quadrupled in size while we were gone!

All of Juniper’s kits have open eyes and are happily hopping around now outside the nest box.
I can’t believe how quickly they grow up!

I don’t even have the words to describe this past week that we spent on our mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

God sure was doing some great work in all of us while we were down there.
My worldview was completely turned upside down, and I’m sure I’ll never look at life here in the States the same.
We met some incredible people and heard some amazing testimonies that will stay with us forever.

All I know is the time we spent there could never have felt like enough, and the joy that we saw in each and every person we met was absolutely inspiring.

Thank you to everyone that supported us and prayed for us along the way. We truly have been blessed by this experience🖤🖤

Icee thought he could offer a little expertise and lend a helping wing while my husband was working on the four wheeler.

I swear this turkey thinks he’s part human!🦃

It’s been one year since we moved to this property.
A property that was truly a blessing and all part of God’s plan—I’ll have to share that story another day.

But looking back over what we’ve accomplished in just a year is incredible to me.

When we moved in there was nothing ready for our animals, so we really had to start from the ground up.

In one year we:
•Put up wood fencing for a 3 acre horse pasture
•Made a 1 acre dry-lot
•Built 2 horse stalls and a large run-in stall off the dry lot
•Built 2 kidding stalls for our goats
•Put together 10,000 square feet of portable electric fencing to rotationally graze our goats and sheep
•Bought a tractor
•Cut riding trails through our woods
•Converted a soybean field into grazing pasture
•Built a 1/4 acre pig pen and pig shelter
•Cleared out an area of woods in front of our house
•And probably a million other little things that I’m forgetting!

I am so thankful for the land we have and all that we have accomplished. And I can’t wait to see what this next year brings.

Ranger has a case of the Mondays this morning!

Hope y’all have a happier morning than this guy🤣

In a world that constantly tells us happiness comes from doing more, having more, or being more, remember: true happiness comes from within.

Live simply. Choose to be content where you are.🖤

He’s getting important life lessons from our goat.

Todays lesson:
If you can’t eat it, headbutt it and move on.
