Oh no! It has officially become “that time of year”. That time of year when we make a huge personal sacrifice so that our customers can continue to purchase fresh eggs. WE BUY THEM! Can you believe that??? Continue reading

Today we had time for a little project this morning, after chores (and a few sips of coffee). Our littles need to be moving down and out to make room for the new littles coming soon. For a while now Sue has wanted to put a door that goes directly to the bottom brooder so that we can let them have their own indoor/outdoor access without the biggies chasing them. So, we did the very first steps today. Continue reading

You know how sometimes I get distracted by going down worm holes looking for images to match my title? Well, happened again today. I thought I would be a great idea to have a small bottle of ketchup to go with the title. Then I went the “catsup” vs. “ketchup” route. There is a great deal of energy surrounding that controversy. I decided to stay clear of it an use a photo with both spelling…I think it’s funny, all on its own. Anyway – wanted to do a bit a “ketchup” today, but only regarding the farm. If you want to delve into the difference between “ketchup” and “catsup”… here’s a great article for you. Continue reading

I had a change of program this week, switched my Monday and Tuesday work schedule around, and I haven’t been the same since. I probably should have posted on Monday, but that would have been odd all around. Here is the makeup post for this week :).
I think it’s funny that our blog site is WingAndAPrayer.live – and we’ve had our first “live” event recently, so we were truly Wing and a Prayer, Live! It is abundantly clear that we need to work on our Live stuff… we had to use my phone, because my laptop wouldn’t get a wifi signal for some reason, and our signal is spotty to begin with. Our signal booster died, so I need work on an upgrade for that. We had one live “watcher” (thanks Christy W.!) and then 29 other views. If you didn’t get the opportunity to tune in, don’t worry because you’ll now be inundated with photos and videos and the Facebook link today! Continue reading

You know, we have so many creatures out here. We respect them all, and we enjoy watching many of their capers here, even if the birds and squirrels rob us of our chicken food. The hawks bide their time until they can catch the guard geese off duty; the coyotes wait for the electricity to go out, so they can get past the fences, but here’s the deal…. Continue reading

You know the days and nights are a great deal colder now and I really thought that snake season would be over. BUT IT’S NOT! At least not going by the happenings of today! Things have been a bit slow around here, what with the all the wind, so let me tell you what happened today. Continue reading

The weekend has been really quite normal, apart from the winds. We did regular tasks yesterday, and some good things accomplished. The winds came up in the afternoon and all through the night, they are still here and we’re watching them tear through the property from all directions, creating little tornadoes, knowing things over and blowing trash from all over. It whistles through the drain holes in the window sills, it sounds low sonorous moans as it blows over the hollow fencing posts. It drives the chickens and the goats inside; only the ducks and the geese try to brave the buffeting. Continue reading

I don’t know if you know this about us, but we are very impatient. One of us more so than the other at different times; impatient about different things for different reasons; impatient in different ways… but impatient we are. We constantly remind ourselves, and each other, that we need to be patient. Things don’t necessarily come together in our time, but in God’s time. It’s one of those things that is so easy to say, but more difficult to put into action. Continue reading

Every once in a while we have these days: no photos available. Not that things aren’t happening, just that we’re too busy doing stuff to take photos. We say that, then sit down and say, “what did we do?”. Busy, busy, busy. This is just an ordinary, nothin’ special, everything normal, type of post. One that you can skip and not feel guilty about. Continue reading

Had some fun today. We covered and uncovered several things. We’ve been winterizing things around the farm… making the chickens’ coops ready for the winds and winter temps, getting the plants ready for it all as well. Continue reading
