This June has been very rainy which has been keeping us inside more than I would like to be. It has also given us some time to work on things in the house.
Jeff put trim around the window in the office over the weekend and it looks great! The window was a little tricky to do because it's in the corner but I think Jeff did a great job of figuring out what to do with the trim.
Today my mom is coming over to help paint the trim on the windows in the office, that will be a huge help!
Over the weekend I finished painting Natalie's bed frame. She is really excited about it! She says "is that my pretty, pretty bed?" all the time now.

She has been really enjoying having her bed off the ground.
In the end of May beginning of June we planted our garden. We have a nice variety of plants consisting of rhubarb, horseradish, strawberries, tomatoes, basil, garlic, onions, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, peas, beans, cucumbers, red peppers, jalapeños, lettuce, thyme, rosemary, chives and brussels sprouts.

Some of you may be wondering if we still have cows and chickens, the answer is yes we do. The cows are growing up nicely.
(Left to right Prime Rib, George, Fred and Chuck Roast.)
They are so happy that it is Spring/Summer now and they don't have to eat hay any more. They are loving being able to graze on fresh grass/hay all day. They love it so much that they escaped so they could get to the tall stuff on the other side of the fence the other day.
The chickens are busy laying eggs and are also enjoying roaming Jeff's parents farm. Right now we have 2 roosters and about 20 hens, we have a variety of breeds that all lay different shades of brown eggs. They spend most of their time in the barn by the cows or in the pasture by the cows. Every day is like an Easter egg hunt because the hens like to change up their laying spots all the time.
They love being by the cows!
Jeff made me some nest boxes for Mothers Day this year and its so fun when I find eggs in them.
Natalie and Charlie are keeping me as busy as ever with art projects, toys, outside stuff and visiting different farms every other day. Just about every morning we go and do farm chores at Jeff's parents since 1/2 of the animals are ours (some day we will have our own farm).
Then my good friend and riding instructor Carly works at the horse barn that I ride at. Natalie loves to see Carly and all the horses especially Carly's horses. Tilly is Natalie's favorite of Carly's 3 horses, Tilly loves Natalie too.
Then about once a week or so we try to make it to my other good friend Melanie's farm to visit with her and her girls, she also has 29 baby goats that need to be bottle fed right now and that is just so much cuteness all bunched together. She has many other animals but I only have recent pictures of the baby goats.
Thanks for reading!
Keep checking for more blog posts I will try and be better about posting about my life over the summer.
