Hey all, I'm back online. :) I grounded myself in order to prepare for a trip, and then take that trip and visit with my sister and her family. We had an absolute blast playing together for five days, and now it's time to clean up the mess we brought home with us. I'm rested up and ready to dive in, but had to take care of a little business first.
I've recently began the process of getting all set up to get my goats registered in my name, with a herd name. Of course I'd wanted to get something that had Tanglewoods in it. Apparently that's pretty popular, because no variation I could think of was available to me. We had to choose a new name for the "herd". My eldest daughter came up with North Forest Farm, and that passed. So, our new homestead name/herd name is North Forest Farm. My husband and eldest daughter are happy. They never thought Tanglewoods Homestead "fit" anyway. So, here we are with 1.5 acres we're now calling a farm. :) I can't wait to see what else this homestead adventure brings.
I also can't wait to slowly catch up on all of your blog posts as soon as I get a chunk of time to myself. I sure hope you've all had a lovely week.
Hugs!
P.S. Next post, I'll introduce you to the little additions to our laying flock, including the tiniest little roo I think I've ever seen.
Woo hoo! Glad you're back! Congrats on finding a neat name, also! We've been struggling with what to call our place for a year-hard to call one acre a farm when we are smack dab in the middle of so many hundred acre farms! :)

ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Patty! I love the name North Forest Farm . . . it just rolls right off the tongue. You've been working hard to get your farm up and going and things are starting to come together for you. An official herd name . . . COOL! Is your new rooster a banty??
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I think North Forest Farm fits just perfectly from the pictures I've seen so far. :) Can't wait to hear about that tiny roo...those tiny ones can be twice as snaggy as the big ones. ;)
ReplyDeletehoosier girl- I know what you mean. That's why I didn't want to use farm, but I guess it is a tiny little farm I've got going here.
ReplyDeleteJudy, Mama Pea, Mama Tea- I'm glad you all like the new name. The tiny roo is a banty. I hope to get a picture this AM (well, maybe AM, since it's already 10:00).
Enjoying catching up with your posts! I noticed the new name right away on the header, very nice!
