A day in the farmlife......

I really never thought of myself as a farmgirl.......not a citygirl either though. Most of our married life has been lived in more of a country setting. Jim has always loved gardening & animals. So eventually living a farmlife really shouldn't be unexpected. Here's a quick history....... We got our first pet 2 months after we married & we just seem to keep adding animals.   Before vet school we had horses, dogs & a cat.  After vet school we moved to Prospect, TN for Jim to work at a mixed animal practice in Pulaski. In Prospect we owned a nice little farm, so we added chickens to the mix. A year after Jim graduated vet school, we had Ava. After that we moved to Elkmont & had another small farm. While we were living there it seemed hard to live so far (we thought it was really Far......but it so was NOT) from Athens. So we sold the horses (the chickens had all died) & bought a house ib a subdivision in Athens. 3 months after we moved in Aubrey was born. We lived in town for 3 years & then Jim just really need to stretch his legs. So here we are now with our ever growing farm.

We've added Trixie & Saban to the family.....they are sweet sisters for our sweet sisters. 

We also have chickens.......we love our laying hens & their yummy eggs

. 

We added Buddy the great Pyrenees to protect our chickens & our.....

GOATS!!!!  Aubrey has wanted goats since she was able to say goats. So we bought 2 momma goats. Jojo had her 3 baby girls before we brought them home.  She had Cocoa, Furry, & Oreo. We also bought Addy & she had 2 little bucks about a month after we got them. She had Big Jack & Little Jack. 

Such an exciting day.....we actually got to watch them be born. Now we have those  7 healthy goats & were milking Jojo.  

We also added Black Jack......since we're going to beed to have more babies to keep having more milk. 

I will say that much to my surprise I am LOVING the farmlife.  Such a healthy choice for our girls. And so many life lessons to be learned.   I hope you've enjoyed this peek inside our life.
