Homestead Barn Hop #156

April 21, 2014 - 3 Comments

barnhop

Whew! Another busy week on the farm. What is it about Springtime that just really gets the ball rolling on all those projects around the house? I think I'll blame it on all of the fresh air. That, mixed with sunshine, makes a perfect combination of accomplishment.

This week, we welcomed 20,000 new bees to the farm! They were hived yesterday and seem to be doing well. We also began working on building a pig pen, lining up a bull to service Sal this Spring, and welcomed 14 new layers into the flock. 

What have you been up to on your farm?

HERE’S JUST A FEW RULES FOR LINKING UP:

1. Please remember that the Homestead Barn Hop is meant to be a place to share homesteading related encouragement and inspiring ideas specifically related to homesteading. In an effort to keep our weekly round-up clutter free, links which are not specifically homestead related, and any promotions such as giveaways, contests, carnivals, etc, will be deleted in order to maintain the integrity of the Barn Hop.

2. Please remember this is a family-friendly link up. Any pictures or posts linked to the hop which aren’t appropriate for our children to view or read will also be deleted immediately. We’re pretty conservative, so we ask that you use good judgment and err on the side of caution.

3. Make sure that you link to your Barn Hop post, not your blog’s main page, so your guests won’t have any trouble finding your great tips.

4. Please link back to the Homestead Barn Hop in the post that you share. Feel free to grab the banner at the top of this post to link back to us with.

5. Occasionally there is a problem posting due to glitches in the internet or the Linky Tools. If you have difficulties posting and it does not show up immediately, please wait a little while and try re-posting (this helps avoid double posting). We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, be we do not have absolute control over the internet. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

    Thanks for hosting! I’ve shared my cooked mayonnaise recipe that easy and free of most allergens. I also shared my all natural hair care secrets and dispelled a few misconceptions.

    Hi Shaye!

    I friggin love your blog. I savor every post!
    I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer out of Oregon!
    I have been wanting to ask if I could photograph you and your family on your farm since I began following your blog.
    I was hoping to follow you guys around and photograph farm chores happening, farm life happening! I tried e-mailing but it bounced back! So even though this is a weird way to do it, I thought I’d give it a shot! I was thinking around the first part of June!
    Feel free to e-mail me any time!
