Starting up again- moving to the country.. at least on the weekends

Well it has been a few years here at the urban farm. The animals at one point consisted of 1 dog- sweet Dulce- who passed in March 2013, two cats who are rarely seen, one turtle (later released at the Arboretum), and 1-5 chickens (chronicled here in this blog).  The current animal status is 0 chickens (f...ing raccoons or opossums), same 2 annoying hidden cats, and one new golden retriever, Goose, who after my children is my favorite thing in this world. But... also in the last two years we have moved a step closer to my dream of a small family farm/ zombie fallout shelter in the country. Although my husband thinks this is a recreational property for him to hunt/ fish on, my secret plans are much bigger.  We now have 44 acres to stock with as many furry friends and crazy projects that I can. Step one in my horde is our barn cats- 3 babies and a mama- found on Craigslist- and now happily situated in our barn. Next I will work on transplanting/ rebuilding our coop in the country. Eventually goats, maybe some donkeys (for protection), and who knows what else....let the fun begin!
Lots of space..
