Peacocks! Robert got his first peacocks today. We found a local man who raises them, and we were able to purchase two males (females not ready until June) that are about 18 months old. Don't know if I'm ready for this "farm" thing or not.
Until next time...
Had our first batch of Ancona chicks hatch today from eggs that were laid by our first batch of purchased chickens.
Until next time...
Happy New Year!

Our first inside project. The pictures show how the living room appeared before and as it does now (more or less).
We don't know which set of previous owners put up the wood paneling, but someone eventually tired of it and just painted over it instead of removing it. We ripped down all the wood paneling, and found three of the existing walls had been sheet-rocked, and the fourth wall was done in all wood tongue-and-groove boards, some parts of it still having old wallpaper on it. This was a surprise for us. We knew the upstairs floors were tongue-and-groove, but we had no idea any of the walls were done that way.
We had originally talked about pulling down all the drywall, and refinishing the tongue-and-groove walls, but due to financial restraints at the time, decided against it. Instead, we put up sheetrock and finished it out. We might one day go back and strip everything back to the tongue-and-groove, but that probably won't be for a while.

Well, we had our first big snow of the year start today (the 23rd). By the time it was all said and done, we had about 10 inches out where we live (which is a lot for us!). Pretty much everything closed down, and we had a white Christmas.
Until next time...
