A life less ordinary: July 2011

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

A life less ordinary. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. It's a dog's life. Anyone who knows me knows about my intense love of animals. Anyone who has been to our home knows that we have a small menagerie living amongst us. So, my days, as busy as they are, are always filled with joy from these amazing pets. I wake up and the dogs are all looking at me, so happy to see me, licking various parts of my body and wagging their tails. It's a wonderful way to start a day! Friday, July 8, 2011. For the love of chickens.

A life less ordinary: A toast

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2012/03/toast.html

A life less ordinary. Saturday, March 3, 2012. The closing is getting closer! We are starting to pack the house. And I have reserved some chicks and two pekin ducklings at the feed store in Ortonville! I also found the mini Silky Fainting goat breeder in Michigan and as soon as the kids are born we can go pick out the two that we want. They are so cool to look at, long silky hair like a dog, pretty colors and some even have blue eyes. Plus if you startle them, they freeze and fall over! From the declarat...

A life less ordinary: Footloose farm

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2012/04/footloose-farm.html

A life less ordinary. Friday, April 20, 2012. This life that we have created for our family is all I ever wanted. It's full of pets, kids, friends, noise and messes and craziness. There is always something to do or get done. Always chores, and work, and laundry, and some smelly, dirty, mess to clean up. I can't even count the wide variety of poop I have cleaned up in my day! Here's a good quote for the day- "Forever is composed of nows."-Emily Dickinson. April 20, 2012 at 5:43 PM. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

A life less ordinary: December 2011

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

A life less ordinary. Monday, December 19, 2011. The most wonderful time of the year. It's that fun time of year again, and it's not Christmas. It's time to order baby chicks for Spring! I love choosing my new baby chicks and putting their mail delivery date on the calender. If I order early enough, I can get them delivered during the week of my birthday in March, so it's really like two gifts in one, Christmas and my birthday! And I can't think of anything I would rather get than chicks! Inspiration tha...

A life less ordinary: March 2011

A life less ordinary. Thursday, March 10, 2011. It's baby chick season! I ordered our baby chicks yesterday and I am so excited to get them in the mail. I ordered them through www.mypetchicken.com and I got all the breeds that I wanted. Our delivery date is May 23rd. That's the day that the post office calls and tells you that your "live" order is in! I am so ready for Spring. Spring time at the farm is almost as majical as Fall! And chicken poop is the best organic fertilizer there is, it's garden gold!

A life less ordinary: Morning light

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2012/06/morning-light.html

A life less ordinary. Thursday, June 7, 2012. We have one huge old Willow tree that hangs over our gazebo and another smaller one in the yard that we hung our daughters horse tire swing on. We almost named the farm after the Willows, but we stuck with "Daisy Hill" since it has so much meaning for us. And of course I named my first goat Daisy, so she can be our unofficial mascot! 4 Bats, snakes, turtles, pheasants, wild turkeys, deer, and various wildlife also share our farm. Sometimes it's good, some...

A life less ordinary: At last

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2012/03/at-last.html

A life less ordinary. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. It's official, we own our new farm and we couldn't be happier! When we got the key to the front door and went inside, Roger and I just walked around trying to absorb that it was finally real! We stood in the empty living room, sun streaming through the windows, and he turned to me and hugged me, he said, "congratulations baby, it's ours," and I just cried tears of joy. It seems so surreal. But it's ours now and we can't wait to put our stamp on it! For sma...

A life less ordinary: September 2011

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

A life less ordinary. Thursday, September 22, 2011. On the road again! So, I recommend that RV park to anyone traveling with kids. They also have nice cabins and cottages to rent if you don't have an RV. And the locals who work the slide, the chairlift, and the other parts of the park are all characters right out of a movie. They ALL chew tobacco, they all look somewhat dirty, and the one at the top of the slide even had a twitch, probably from too much tobacco! Not the most brilliant move on his part!

A life less ordinary: Heaven sent

http://hentennialfarm.blogspot.com/2012/04/heaven-sent.html

A life less ordinary. Thursday, April 12, 2012. It was real estate miracle! And when we found our new house in Clarkston, an area that we weren't even looking in, it was perfect! We had never been back since that date! So, I took my mom to the Union for lunch too. We sat at the end of the bar and when she looked around, she saw stained glass windows right behind us. She told me to look. They say, "Here's to Ivan." then next piece, "Gone to Glory.". I couldn't believe it! April 16, 2012 at 9:09 AM. The in...
