Life in Connecticut: Our animals and trying to get rid of ticks.....

Last night was a long one with MiaBella. She was running a temp., headache and just didn't feel good. Her rash has spread over her face in parts but she is feeling much better today.  She has a nightgown that she calls her sick one.  She remembers being sick and throwing up wearing it so every time she is sick she wears it.  So silly! I am still scratching all over today but made sure I sprayed everyone before they went outside.  I found some tick repellent that is called Buzz Away Extreme that is Deet-free for us so I hope it works.

So today I went and got 4 more chickens and ordered 4 guineas. Jordan already named them.

It's a good thing Jeff got the Chicken Coop done.  I finished painting it.  The chickens love it. The older ones.

Can I just say my husband rocks!!!  He did such a nice job.....  We still have to move it when our land if leveled.  It's a good thing he made it in two pieces because it's heavy.

The Quinea we call spaz because she is one..

Our chickens are getting so big.  Eat those ticks. 

They love going for a ride.  Just a day in the country. 

We told the kids when we moved that we would get them a big dog.

So we got this little guy Charlie a Golden Retriever. 

Bella doesn't seem to mind him.

He is such a good boy!!

Well that's it for this week.  Working on our hobby farm one project at a time.....
