Video Friday {No. 2}

Hello everyone! It's Friday, are you ready for our next video? I know the day is almost over, but I was having some serious technical difficulties!
 

This video we would like to share is a tour of our farm in the winter. Now, we don't have a full fledged farm, just a micro-farm. We actually farm off of .48 of an acre!

We are posting two videos this week, because a few things happened after our first video, and thought you should know about it!

Now, without further adieu, we present to you our Farm Tour.

Enjoy!

And the update video...

Just so you know, the fours hens are still alive and are building immunities. The keifer water is really helping! I finally figured out how to tell the difference in a boy and girl rabbit, so Marshmallow is actually a girl!

Hope you enjoy this little tour! There will be loads more videos once Spring comes and we start working in the garden again! 
Blessings,
Layla & Hagen  

I ♥ Thursday {No. 4}

Happy Thursday Everyone! Here's what we are loving this week...

 
Hagen's ♥'s

This week I've been loving my black flats. They go with pretty much everything :)

My sister, Matilda, and I curled our hair with these, and we loved it!

I started reading this book and I highly recommend it for all young women!

For Christmas Mom and Dad bought me a drawing course book and sketch pencils!

Layla's ♥'s

French braided up-do's. I'm thinking of doing a video on all of my favorite french braided hair style's, what do you think?

Bunnies! Yes, this is one of ours. :)

 Vintage circus photos, because I've been helping my Mom with her blog, Notes From The Circus !

The Henningsens... my new favorite country band! They are a wonderful family with ten children. When I was at the Campbell's, Rashida and Meadow where so excited that they made it on the radio because they are all good friends!

Hope you are having a great week! Are you looking forward to tomorrow's video? I sure am!
Blessings,
Layla & Hagen

Everything Update

Well, this has been quite a busy month! I don't know where to start!

The trees are now bare, the baby rabbits are getting big, and we've got tons of tomatoes from our local farmers market.

Our hoop house is really nice and green. We were able to pick some baby spinach and beet greens!

    

 I love their little noses!

 

 Lettuce....

 

 Carrots...

Spinach...

I love waking in the morning and seeing the dew drops on the grass....

 Yep, this is just who we are...

 Jumping in the hay...

 Lil' monkey!

 Baby O in the morning... :)

~ A thankful note ~

I am so very thankful we live in this country of freedom. We are free to read The Lords word, we are free to sing him praise!

In many other countries Christians are killed for preforming this action! But we are free! FREE!

I am so very thankful for my sweet family!

I am so very thankful for all of our little critters!

I am so very, very thankful Jesus died for me!

What are you thankful for?

Hope you have a good Thanksgiving!

Hoop House....

So, recently we've been working on a hoop house, and I thought I would share it with you!

Our hoop house is a huge blessing, it's 12' by 12', and is very sturdy! At first we weren't sure it would get warm enough for anything to grow, but it's quite humid in there. 

Here are some pics of when we first started.

 We used pallet wood for the beds and the base.

  The only things we bought were the PVC pipes, the plastic, and the screws! 

 We took some gravel from our driveway and poured  it in here, for the walk way.

   We did one horseshoe shaped bed around the house, and one bed in the middle.

 Here's some pics of the finished product and of us planting stuff.  :)

 This is the door, or more like the flap to get in. :)

 The beds with little seeds, who've gone to sleep. 

 Planting....

 Planting...

 Trying to figure out were to plant...

So far we've planted lettuce, spinach, garlic, carrots, beets,

 bell peppers, peas, and squash. And we all ready have lettuce and pea sprouts!  And I'm sure we will plant more stuff, 12' by 12' is more than you think!

Like I said before, this is a huge blessing!

It only took 50 bucks to make, the pallets were free, its very sturdy and warm!  

The main reason we built this is so we would have, not just food, but healthy food, and food the way God intended, through the winter. You know, without pesticides and other poisonous chemicals. But no matter what, whether you spray your plants or not, water your plants daily or not, God is always the one who makes them grow.    

1 Corinthians 3:7 "So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow."

I love this verse, its so true! Hope you enjoyed seeing this! And who knows, maybe some day you will make your own hoop house!   

Blessings~ Hagen  

    

Fall {Fun}!

Hi everyone! 

How was your weekend? We had a wonderful one! We went to our friends house, shot some guns and had a cookout. We were having so much fun that we forgot to take pictures of our outfits! Here are some pics of what we did:

 Getting ready for the pumpkin roll race...

 Us girls shooting the AR 15. It was quite the hit! Poor Hagen was our photographer, so we didn't get any pictures of her shooting!

 A creepy house we went exploring through...

 Water flowing out of the spring house.

 That's one good looking group!

 

Being crazy after playing Hay bale Hide-n-Seek!

 

A beautiful ending to a wonderful day!

God is good to bless us with such wonderful friends!

Praying you have a wonderful week,

Blessings- Layla & Hagen
