Summertime on the Farm

Summertime has proved to be very busy here on Quail Run Farm.  I thought I would jump on here and give a quick update.

We went on a week long vacation to South Dakota to visit my sister and her family.  We had a great time seeing the sights, including Mt Rushmore, so busy in fact we forgot to take the camera and the only pictures we got were on our phones. By the time the weeks was over I was completely exhausted, but refreshed and ready to dig into some of those lingering projects

While we were away our garden burst forth and we have fruits, and weeds, lots of tall weeds.  I think it going to take a full week to clean it all up. Our first beans are ready to pick, and zuchinni too, the tomatoes are getting big and will be ready to pick soon.  Beets and carrots are ready as well.

Ruger has decided that chickens are fun to play with, this isn’t a good thing, we’ve got some training to do.

Tonight I want to sit down and design some labels for our farm, my dream would be to produce enough produce to sell and a local farmers market someday, and I want a cute logo and some labels.

Going to start working on the craft/school room.  All it needs is a fresh coat of paint and shelves in the closet.  Soon it will all be set up for school this fall.  I am going to homeschool my elementary kiddos (Sassy, Lou and Little Man) I am excited and nervous, mostly excited.

Big things are on the horizion for our little family and farm, its exciting to see  everything happen!
