We are a small Hobby Farm with just a HINT of insanity. Maybe a tad more. Nestled near the foothills of the Blue Ridge, we raise and sell poultry, hatching eggs, and goats. My husband, Gregg, aka the Voice O' Reason, keeps me alive and off the 6 o'clock news. Our daughter, Rebekah, is special needs - which mostly means she's way smarter than most. We also have a daughter, Elisabeth, and a son, Ben. One married, one about to be. That should sum things up enough to follow along.

A real 'Easter Egg' from our Easter Egger hen!
This egg gives new meaning to the term Easter Egger.
Our Easter Egger hen just laid this egg this afternoon. I have not retouched or enhanced the color in any way. In fact, the lighting is a bit poor. But check out this two toned egg! It truly looks like a dyed Easter egg.
Too cool!
Selling Turkeys. Sort of...
The GOAL was to get down to just five pet turkeys. Five is
reasonable. And I HAVE been selling them. I have. And I specifically tried to
not name these and NOT turn them into pets. But. You know.
Anyway, I’m standing in the yard yesterday evening with
customers who want five turkeys – and – sigh. It was like the poultry version
of Sophie’s Choice. In the end, the customers reluctantly left with three, with
a promise I would call if I changed my mind. Yeah. No. I now have seven pet
turkeys. ~cough~
