A Typical Day At The Homestead

My day stars with an early walk that I enjoy so much. Next it is on to tending to the creatures. Hubby doses the dogs & cats. I help with the ducks. I let the chickens out of the coop to roam about with the ducks while I make ready the run cage with fresh water & a little feed. On to the bunnies. When all the creatures are taken care of I clean up & head off to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Today I felt like I was working at a restaurant again. No one wanted breakfast but then everyone wanted breakfast. I think they thought they were at a Dennys. Hubby even mentioned a grand slam.

Granola pancakes for Hubby & I. His with blueberry syrup (no photo because he ate them faster than I made them.) & mine with strawberry syrup, sliced fresh cherries, cherry yogurt & whip cream & bacon. Fresh fruit smoothies made with a mixture of what ever fresh fruit I have in the frig.

Buttermilk pancakes & bacon for Lucas.

Chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips & whip cream for Sam.
Hubbys supper cooked & packed for tonight. I tell him no one else gets packed meals like this. Meatballs, browned potato wedges & sliced tomatoes. I prepare him a meal four days a week to eat at work.

After Hubby & Lucas are at work I tend to the gardens. Watering & weeding keeps a healthy beautiful garden. I am waiting for a sign from God that I should do some cleaning inside the homestead. See I figure if it rains I should clean a little. LOL! Oh but I love being in the gardens & enjoy all the creatures we have. These are the newest blooms in the gardens this week.





Feeding the bunnies through out the day. Chestnut & Velveteen are eating good for us. They get a small dish of bunny pellets & fresh water. Their treats are a baby carrot, large green leaf from the yard & a leaf each from the mint & basil plants in the garden.

Steaks cooked on the grill with baked potatoes, mac & cheese,salad & bread. A cool mason jar of sweet tea to wash it all down. Later off to pick Lucas up from work. Then he has his midnight meal. A few hours later Hubby will return from work & want a bed time snack. My kitchen is never closed & the dishwasher is always full it seems. It will all start over in just a few short hours. Life may not always be perfect but I love my family & the homestead creatures. I enjoy taking care of the homestead & grounds & my family too! I am thankful for all of it. Thanks be to our amazing God!

Just A Thought To Ponder:
Always be thankful for what you have today because it could be gone tomorrow. Life is unsure & things can change in a blink of the eye.

Blessings Til Next Time!
