LITTLE GREEN REFRESHER (cool)

TWO HANDFULS BABY SPINACH, OR THREE STEMS OF KALE

2 CARROTS

1 PEAR

2 GREEN APPLES

1 STALK CELERY

I like to drink this if I have been outside and it is hot. It is cooling and refreshing. It is also a great morning juice. 

UPDATE ON THE ANIMALS ON OUR LITTLE FARM ON THE HILL!

Our two goats, Bandit and Baby, are doing just great! They are growing and are so playful. They run and jump and of course eat. Having the two goats is a great pleasure for our family. I can't wait to start milking hopefully by the end of next year! Our chickens are doing fine. After we introduced Mike to the flock there was a little pecking going on and now the order is back in line. With of course Mike at the top of the pecking order! He keeps the hens in line. There is not so many hen squabbles going on anymore. I think that everything is going to be fine here on The Little Farm on the Hill! I will post some video and pics maybe tomorrow!

                                                               HUNTING FOR CRABS

                                                DUSTYN, DYLLON, DAWSON AND EMILY

Well we spent a while in Destin Florida! We had so much fun. We stayed in a great condo that had everything just like home. It is the only way to stay with kids. We spent our days laying around on the beach or by the pool. Then we watched movies after dark and also hunted for crabs with our flashlights. We were able to catch many small fish, but some were the size of your hand. The kids also caught fifteen hermit crabs and a slug! Emily wanted to spend the whole time in the water riding the waves on the body board. She is a little fish! The boys just wanted to hunt for crabs and swim. I am sad to say goodbye to Florida. I was actually looking for property in Destin. (secretly of course the rest of the family does not know) I want to move there so badly, and Denny said it is not a bad idea. Not too sure how the goats would do by the beach, or the chickens LOL! Well I will check into it because the prospect is tempting and there are quite a few for sale signs. So we will be looking for a house on the beach! Just me and my happy little family!!!!

DAY 6 OF 15 JUICING!

It is day 6 of 15 for my juicing. It is easier now than when I first started. I was never really hungry to begin with. The juice is very satisfying. I feel better than I have in a long time.

MY BIRTHDAY!!!

I have celebrated my 16th anniversary of my 21st birthday! LOL! Yep Im 37! I am grateful that I have my children and my husband and the rest of my family. I am thankful for wonderful friends and coworkers. Everyone made my day special today!!! Thank you everyone for letting me be me!!!

Our New Rooster

We have a new member of our flock!  Meet Mike our new cochin rooster!  He is so friendly and sweet.

DAY 4 OF 15 JUICING

I am on day four of fifteen of my juicing. Well it was a little hard the first day. But surprisingly I have remained feeling full by juicing. I have not had solid food. I feel like I have more energy today since I have started. One benefit is that I have lost five more pounds. I have not been retaining fluid either. I woke up yesterday for the first time with hands that were not swollen. I did experience headaches during the second day My body is going through a complete reboot. My husband is so proud of me and he is thinking about juicing with me. He is just not used to having a healthy wife. His last wife was completely unhealthy and overweight. Well he has had a new experience being married to me for the last six years. We have always incorporated fruits and vegetables in our diet but not like this. I thought I would never say this but I HAD TO GO BUY MORE KALE!!!! I never ate kale before but it is not too bad juiced. Looks kinda funky but tastes good.

Adding another step to being more healthy!

I am on the search for a good juicer. I would like to incorporate juicing into my daily meals for me and my family. I will update with my experiences with juicing. Wish me luck!

Baby Nigerian Dwarf Goats

Update on our little farm!

Here are some pictures of our Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats. They are getting used to us more and more every day. They greet us by calling out to us whenever they see us going outside. They are very friendly. I love to watch them run and jump and play. They have never seen chickens before so that was funny when they first saw them. The chickens ran one way and the goats the other.

4th of July

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!
