Fixing

This has been a busy week around here.



Its funny how winter works. It feels so so long when you are in the middle of it, but some how it is just not long enough to finish all we have on our winter to do list!



This week we have been busy with the usual farm activities and snow removal, but we have spent a bit of time cringing at our list of winter projects. There is certainly more to do than we have time left. Here are a few things that we are busy fixing.



The first thing we are fixing is a bedroom in our house. This is the first thing we have renovated in our house and it has been a bit of an eye opener. Dry walling has taken us a long time!
Thankfully, its all painted now and once we do the floor it will be move in ready. Yay! Almost able to cross that one off the list! Although our house is old and needs work, I am really glad we didn't end up with more of a fixer upper. We would much rather be farming than fixing!



Another thing is the tractor. We broke it doing snow removal a few weeks ago. Matt spent some time and got it back in shape but this week the same sort of thing broke again. Its not as bad as before but it will need fixing again before it can be used. That has been a double project that has been taking time that was not allotted to it!

I have been plugging away (not really fixing actually) at our Organic certification. I was sure I would have it done last night but tiny little Farm boy wasn't keen on sleeping and the two don't mix well! I will have to keep making progress in bits and pieces during his short little naps.



The last thing to get fixed made for a bit of a surprise. I took our little Farm kitties in to the vet to get fixed this morning and I got a call back right away. I guess little Mr. Pumpkin is actually a little Miss Pumpkin. I never got a really good look through all that fur and I just assumed orange usually meant male. Good thing their names are gender neutral!





She was an awfully pretty boy anyway!
