Mother, wife, sister, friend. This is our second year on the farm, a dream we've had since we were first married. We unschool, AP parent, and grow our own food (or try to).

Colour My World
For the record, this is what our first house was painted too. I love the blues.
This is the future color palate of the downstairs. Sort of. The cherry is the guest room, the orange is the living room (but we have green and white stripped couches) and the green is for the dining room. The kitchen right now is open to these but won't be once the buffet is restored. The kitchen will be blue and white and yellow.I got Duration Interior from SW for the living room, 2 gallons for 6$. That is normally 50$ PER gallon. They happened to have the exact color I picked out in their mistint pile? How weird is that. Then the cherry is a mix of a free red and a 3$ wild currant. The green I will have to buy. I'm ok with that.
Any thoughts? Oh and here is a picture of the living room right now:

Farm Life
Yesterday I had to take an axe and chop the head off a baby chicken that had gotten into the puppy's run and been injured beyond recovery. The fact that it was still hanging on was a miracle considering its injuries. In fact, I thought it was dead and when it blinked at me when I layed it on the burn barrel I was startled. I don't have a hand hatchet yet so I used the wood ax. I explained what was happening to Lil'Bug and she said, "Don't worry Mama, the chick's name is ToodleBug, like me, and it's already in Heaven." And then in one swift chop, the deed was done and the carnage cleaned up.
This week has just been one of those weeks.
Speaking of feeding pigs, this morning we cleaned up the garden and pulled all the bolted lettuce, spinach, and radish. The pigs will be eating well today. Yum yum. We'll be planting okra in the row we cleaned I think.
Berries are fully in season. We have gooseberry, mullberry, and black raspberry. If you are local and I know you, give me a ring (or email). Sunday and Monday I am opening up the fields pick your own. While you're here bring a fishing pole and pull out 10-20 fish from the pond. I think that's the average catch for a 4 year old around here. LOL.
