New baby!

Little One

My chickie, Little One hatched herself a little one today!  So cute and tiny :)  Since I raised Little One from a little chick and held her all the time, she is used to me so she lets me pick up her baby - I got to give soft little fluff ball kisses!  I have them enclosed so I don't have to take her baby away and it will be safe from predators.   Little One's mommy, Dottie hatched 4 babies about a month ago but she isn't very tame and so I had to take them away so they would be safe - they are doing good and getting big :)  I hate taking them away from their mommies but I also hate to see them go missing one by one.  I will take pics of mommy and baby tomorrow!  Think I will name it Floof :) pics of mommy and baby Floof

Whatcha doin Mommy?

Good News!

Looks like we will be closing on the 1st!!  So nervous, and excited....

Property Revisited

So we went to Ocala this weekend, to get a P.O. box (which I found out from the form they gave me to fill out, that I could have done it online...thanks USPS!) and do some measurements on the property.  OMG it is gorgeous now that everything is growing again, last time we saw it was February, and everything was kinda dead.  Of course I forgot to snap a pic, I was so into measuring and trying not to get snagged by thorn bushes... oh well, we will be back there again soon!  I brought the stakes to mark the areas we want to use for this or that, but I forgot the string :/  geeze where was my mind?  but oh well again...at least we got to see the little town we are close to, Williston, FL.  It is about 10 miles from where we live and has CVS, grocery stores, and a HOSPITAL! Always good to know where those are!
Since we will be starting with nothing, we will still need to buy food until we get our garden established, and we have a nice little farmer's market down the street from us, also Ocala has a big farmer's market downtown every Saturday - we checked it out after our trip to the post office...it is pretty nice :)
All in all, I just can't wait to move, and now I am even more ancy!  The goats are going to love the diversity of grub they are going to have up there - the property is pretty overgrown with vines right now!  They will also get to eat all the small trees in their area and trim up the low branches - goats are awesome gardeners, and they work for love, and treats lol.

I promise pics will be coming soon!

:(

Bad day today - house on the back side of us has big dogs, they go over their fence and get into my neighbor's yard all the time....today their new dog got into my yard and killed one of my babies :(  R.I.P. Buster.  His momma Clover is yelling for him - I feel so bad... well gotta finish work and then dig a grave.
Can't wait to get out of here....

Possible road trip...ohhhh yeahhh!

So our moving date was postponed because the guy we are buying the property from has a bunch of other closings in other states and he asked me if we could wait until the end of May or June, well I was still a bit short on the $10,000 down payment so I was more than happy to take the extension!  Not to mention we still have a bunch of stuff that hasn't sold yet and are still packing and trimming down our belongings, so a bit more time was a bit of a relief :)
I am getting ancy and want to see the property again, this time it will be in full bloom (last time we were up there it was February and everything was deadish) and we also want to mark out some stuff and make some plans on placement of  our stuff.  I emailed the property guy and hopefully he is cool with us going up to mark out some areas, but my stupid email is down and I don't know if he has replied :/  oh well, hopefully this weekend we will be hitting the road to see our property (and getting a P.O. box, and getting some applications in, and maybe visiting Ocala's awesome downtown area!
