BOYDS CREEK ACRES

BoydsCreekAcres
Here I am on Boyds Creek Acres and wanting to be a farmergirl so badly.
I am so a homebody that getting outside somedays is a challenge. I have to force myself to get outside. This probably goes back to my childhood where my mom believed that girls were raised at home. And that meant in the house a good portion of the time. She was ever so careful about the kinds of children we hung out with, which is the other reason we stayed indoors a lot.
So, I am willing and very able to make the changes necessary to be a farmergirl. I love the idea of it. I love the way things were done in the good ole days. I love the thought of canning our own food, and tending to a garden. I want to make my own soap and have milk from our own milking goats that my children will milk. : ) The desire is definetly there I just need a good push out the door.
I am so thankful that the Lord has placed so many adventerous and outdoorsy type women in my life. I need them! I need their advice and their support.
I'll be reading here more than writing. So you guys go ahead and write and I'll go ahead and read. I'll keep you all posted on my outdoor farming adventures as they take place.
Right now the farm is quiet. The chickens have been wandering outside the fence to look for worms. We are getting about 4 eggs a day and we had two hatch recently. We are raising a new puppy to put in with our current Great Pyaranees. He's a mix, all white and we are hopeful that he will learn from our current guard dog, Sadie. We only have two pygmy goats and perhaps this spring we will find some milking goats. That's all for now!

I want to be a farmgirl too!! I've been enjoying reading everyone's posts about homesteading and I'm feeling so inspired! I think I've about got my hubby convinced that we need goats! ;)

Go on through that door and don't look back, I say!
I was raised "in town", living in subdivisions with nearby neighbors. It was a wonderful life but I always felt I was a farm girl deep-down. Since getting married 23 years ago, I've been able to live the farm girl life to a degree. I wish I could talk my husband into getting cows and goats and chickens. I love the thought of making soap and making cheese. : -)

I like to be inside too. Though I think when I was little I was outside alot. I grew up on a farm and when I was a toddler apparently I was allowed to play in the yard with the animals not far from the kitchen window. I also got up early and spent the morning feeding out cows with my Dad and uncle.
I think it could just be the way we are. You have some cute pets, I bet you get outside at least a little bit. Hope to hear more soon.
