A little out of it...

I feel like I have gotten a little distracted and uninterested in my farm life. I have cut my chicken flock down and lost quite a few to a descion to mix some chickens I didn't realize were so aggressive.
I guess I just kinda lost interest in it all. It started after the kids got out for the summer, I got so busy and caught up in keeping up with 3 kids 24 hrs a day, that everything else got put on the back burner. I am trying to get back into the spin of things, but I am not making a lotof progress.
We currently are starting to prepare for our Halloween Bonfire and then it will be time to winterize the house and the chicken coop. Without Chopper around I also need to do a little reinforcing of the coops. I just heard one of my chickens squawking outside, I went out and shined a flashlight but didn't see anything from the fence. I will have to go out and survey the situation in the morning. I am hoping nothing got into my silkie pen. I was hoping to really grow my silkie flock this spring.
We have also starting discussions about building a house, well actually a cabin within the next few years. I hope we can go forward with that.
