I knew my life would be changing when I moved into this farm, but I really didn’t expect it to change this fast!

We’ve been moving, cleaning, and renovating for the past week. Every night in the one hour I have to myself I’ve tried to muster up some strength to take a picture or write a blog post, but I’m just so completely drained of energy! All this box lifting and scraping and moving really takes a lot out of you, especially when dishes are now done by hand and laundry is dried by hanging on hangers versus using those two appliances.

Yesterday with the help of my dad we walked the fence line and made repairs, in anticipation of the many animals coming this weekend. Turns out there will also be a miniature goat named Ruby and a rooster joining the farm on the weekend in addition to my Shetland sheep and their guard dog Spirit. Those additions are courtesy of one of my relatives, thanks Michelle!

So by the end of this weekend there will be six different animal types on this farm: our bearded dragons, my angora rabbit, a rooster, a miniature goat, my Shetlands, and our Maremma guard dog. What a menagerie!  Here’s hoping we don’t have too many scuffles on our hands…
