Horse swing

Grammy and Grumpy gave us a tire horse swing! We put the swing up and so far the boys love it! It was a challenge to get it up since the tree was over 35ft tall!

First snake!!

Yikes! We have seen the first snake on our land. It was in the woods and Colt spotted it. We all went to look and sure enough there was a small snake! I am so glad that this is the first one we have seen in the 11 months we have been coming to the land! I sure hope we don't see another one for a long time!!

Farkleberry jelly!!

We made our first batch of jelly yesterday!! It was really easy to make and our sampling tasted awesome!! I can't wait to try our first jar tonight!!

Growing and growing

Everyone is so excited to see the garden grow!! It is still early but so much fun to check on it everyday to see how much the plants have grown!!

First garden!!

Well we have our first garden in the ground!! It is a small garden but a good start!! We planted spinach, kale, radish, and peas.
The boys are super excited to see it grow, I doubt they will be as excited to eat it!!

Finding berries!!

We have been walking the property and trying to identify different plants and trees. We want to clean up some areas but don't want to kill or get rid of any food bearing trees! We have two pecan trees but they don't seem to produce much so we are going to see about having them grafted. We have also learned that we have American Beautyberry plants and Farkleberry trees! Both are edible berries though best used for jelly! So we are in the process of picking the berries and hope to have our first batch of jelly soon!!
