Homestead life is new to me after moving from the suburbs for all of my life. A part of me always had a longing to return to my homestead roots and reconnect with nature and the world we often take for granted. It feels there's been a huge disconnect in the world we live in today about where our food comes from. That's something I want to restore in my life and share with others.
The views here are simply breathtaking. Out in the yard doing some light work watching the sunset has been one of the most peaceful ways to just enjoy life and all that's been created.
The chickens are now laying eggs, one laid a massive on lol It ended up being a double yolker which I had for breakfast with some bread and bacon. YUM Bacon! The lake views beautiful and are so much fun and the dogs enjoy jumping in for a swim to cool off during these hot days. The bees have been buzzing around growing their hives. I'm hoping one moves into the 3rd stake which will be the honey I harvest. I have a feeling I'll be waiting till next year.
My cow Moo who's a recent addition to the homestead just had her last milking as I prepare her for having her baby. This will be her 6th but my first ever as I adopted her from a good dairy farm that was downsizing. I'm a little sad about her last day of milking. Her and I really started to build a connection with our morning routine as she came skipping in excited tail wagging. In about 3 months she will be back on routine again but this time with a new family member to keep her company. Do you think she will have a boy or a girl?
