Deeply Rooted
So, I've been gone a long time! Bad me! I know! I need to have a switch taken to me!! 
So, I'll catch you all up!!
I got a job with vfem! Best job ever btw!
We did finally end up getting rabbits. We have a buck and 3 does. We have Barney, Nora, Lilly, and Monster. I'm REALLY wanting to get into some American Blues, but I fear that people around here wouldn't appreciate the breed and I would be "stuck" with a bunch of bunnies that nobody would be willing to pay for. LOL Great for our freezer, not so great on the wallet.
The garden is still going good! This past year was MUCH better than last year, but, our corn didn't do well AT ALL! It grew maybe 3-4 feet, put on wee tiny ears and that was it. Nothing worth eating even. It was terrible! I think it's time to invest in some new corn seed.
We now have 3 breeds of chickens. We have our Buckeyes, we ventured into Silkies, and then we added Dark Cornish. The Buckeyes are our dual purpose birds. Our rooster, Scrappy, is a big beautiful boy that is great with the girls and is very handsome. We let the Buckeyes free range because they stay close to home. Every once in a while they will go visit our neighbors and he will have some fun with their lone hen.
Their guinea likes to hang out in our back yard, and seems to "rule the roost" even in our yard! LOL Scrappy doesn't give her much thought tho. I decided to keep the Silkies and the Dark Cornish penned up because 1, Scrappy does NOT like my little Silkie rooster, Squeekers, and tries to tear him to pieces, and 2, Batman, our Cornish roo likes to hop the fence and not come back when it's time to go to bed! We're also going to start selling eggs and babies come spring time.
We still have our 4 dogs. The "baby" is now a 45 pound monster who thinks that she's still a tiny puppy! She likes to sit on my lap like she used to when she was little, but now instead of all of her fitting on my lap, her paws are on my knees and her bum is sitting on either my chest or my shoulder, depending on what she's trying to achieve!
I will definitely try to get you all some pictures soon! I know it's been FOREVER since I've been here. I'd all but forgotten about TEG... Tho I could never forget the great people here!!
