Thanksgiving in TN....

We had a beautiful, sunny Thanksgiving Day at Buttermilk Acres.

Our youngest arrived on Wednesday night with a friend for the holiday and we are expecting more family and friends today.

We have a lot to be thankful for this year!

Progress on the roof...

The ceiling inside the cabin is going to be awesome...

Our future kitchen door...

Various shots of the interior...

Exterior shots...

Thanksgiving ham in the dutch oven...

Clyde is so happy that the sun is shining. He gave me his best smile...

Maggie said it was so bright she needs some shades...

Georgia and Snitster soaking up the rays...

I hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did!

Raising the roof...

...or in HB's case, just mostly trying not to slide off!

More cabin updates...

The OSB siding on the walls is really starting to define the living space.

Looking towards the front sleeping loft.

From the front door looking back.

Cali - "I certainly HOPE you brought me a carrot!"

Chester and Cali - cell block neighbors.

Young rooster - Black Australorp hen and Welsummer rooster cross

ISA Brown hen - I love these girls and will plan to get more next spring.

Dust bath time.

The Infirmary - (AKA - Blossom's rabbit hutch). Blossom now shares her hutch with two hens that both have broken legs. We are not sure how one of the hens suffered her injury but the other hen was hit by a car. Blossom has been very patient and is proving to be quite the nursemaid.

And, whoever said that cats were not affectionate. Just look at the lovely gift that Jag left right in front of the door the other morning. He was quite proud of himself!
