Adding a side to our barn/shed - the new barn is not going to get built before the snow comes as we have other priorities financially right now, so we need to add on to each side. One side is to store the bicycles and recycling bins so we can clear out 1/2 the barn to make room for a milking stand and another pen area. The other side overhang will be for the goats to have a little extra space this winter. They will at least be able to step outside.
The goats are helping to clean out the gardens.
The chickens get free range now that the gardens are all through. They enjoy scratching in the compost pile.

More cutting, splitting and stacking.

ReplyDeleteI understand the financial aspect whole-heartedly. I've put off a few of our projects for the season, too. Ah well! Priorities :)
ReplyDeleteYour chickens certainly do look happy free range.
Such wonderful photos! Thank you for sharing.

What a lovely week indeed. That photo from the road makes my heart yearn to be back in Vermont.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. We went apple picking yesterday and making apple crisp is on my to do list for today. Yummy! I may not post often but I lurk often and think of you even more often.

So many beautiful fall colors! It's not quite that colorful here in Tx:)
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing the chickens and goats. I think I was meant to have a small piece of land for such little pleasures. I'd just need a cheap, reliable handyman!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love making granola. I add cranberries, almond slices, and coconut to mine. Yum!
