It's time for an update here on Pam's Berry Farm. I've been busier than a beaver here. My husband returned from his deployment in mid December. I'm so happy he's returned. He's decided to have knee surgery now so he's out of commission for 6 more weeks. But that's OK he needs to rest anyway. We also have had two grand babies the first week of December. Gracie and Cole are so cute and we are ready to spoil them silly. My son is packing up and heading to UCM this spring to stay in an apartment. We are now going to be empty nesters this spring.
So with the holidays behind us and decorations put away, it's time to gear up for spring and get organized.
The chickens have gotten big and about ready to starting laying eggs. I ordered all Buff Orpingtons and four Rhode Island Reds. You can see from the picture that a few other breeds have gotten into the mix here. But everyone is getting along so far. They are loving the fact that they can get outside now and scratch around.
This summer we had a well drilled to irrigate all the berries with. That well still isn't producing any water and the troubles I've had with that well is still overwhelming to me. Still working with DNR to repair it or try to get another well drilled. That is the question that I'm currently working on. The lack of water this summer put a toll on the berries and I lost quite a few of them. I've reordered and will replant again this spring. For those of you that know me personally, you know that I'm a very determined individual. If there's a will there is certainly a way to get this done.
I will be attending quite a few conferences this winter and spring. Never stop learning........Knowledge is power.
