Dreaming BIG.

     How big, you might ask? Probably not feasible, but, as I have stated, it is a dream, not reality. Okay, you are probably wondering what I am dreaming about. Well, basically, everything. Such as, my business, aka my new egg business and my etsy shop in progress (more about that in a few days), my future plans for our yard, hopefully a koi auqaponics system and a new chicken coop, and my dream job for when I grow up: my future bed and breakfast. As some of you know, this has been my dream for a WHILE. Before that, it was a pet store, which would have been fun, but I decided I did NOT want to be saying bye to several animals daily. I also realized I loved hosting things, being around MY OWN animals, and baking, which is something that definitely does not go with pet stores. Don't get me wrong, giving a pet a good home feels amazing and I know, because a few days ago we re-homed one of our roosters, Emily (there was a gender mix up), to our good friend. But, I figured I would probably rather work at a hotel. Or own a hotel. That got me thinking that a working farm bed and breakfast where people could eat gluten free, learn how to take care of animals (and therefore eliminate some of my work. Sweet!), and just enjoy themselves. Now, I have planned all the animals, the amount of land, and the number of rooms. I already have so many people who want to work at it someday, especially if they get to ride horses for free, and that is making it start to feel a bit more, well, possible. And I know it won't make much money, but I will have a garden, a dairy cow and chickens for food, some horses to ride, and a fish pond, so I will be all set! And hopefully, I will have a family, or at least a husband, because I absolutely cannot live alone, or I will become the crazy cat, or who knows, rat lady that all the kids of the neighborhood fear. That being said, whether or not this crazy dream comes true, I think I will be okay. Although, it would be nice to have something at least resembling this dream come true. I really want it to come true. Oh well, I'm half way there to most of the things, the ducks, the chickens, the garden, the fish tanks, the smaller chicken coops, etc. You get the point. Oh, and sorry for not writing like I normally do, for I am not a normal person. But, I am just fine not being normal, especially a normal teen aged girl. Not fun. Well, thank you so much for reading this blog, if you do, and if not, that's okay with me. Whoa, I just wrote a TON. Well, nice talking (kind of) to you!
Cheers,
-Amelia

P.S. If you want me to write on a particular subject, then please ask in the comments. And happy snow day(s)!!!

    Who did you give Emily to? I totally think you could have a great B&B! Hopefully see you tomorrow (if we're not snowed in still! :)!

    We gave Emily to our Chiropractor, Dr. Brooke. Thank you for saying that about the B&B! Yeah, hope to see you soon!

Getting to know myself.

If someone ever says they know themselves, truly and wholly, I would not believe them. I learn new things about myself everyday. Some things I think I have known for a while, but I have never truly realized their depth. I have never realized that animals are a legitimate addiction, even though I have known it for years. My latest "these will be the last ones!" other than the fish, which tend to be okay since they don't add too much work. I never realized that whenever I ask for a new pet, I always, always, say, "After this, I will not ask for more. My collection will be complete." I realized that today when I asked Dad if I could get this little creature instead of a coldwater tank: "Please, Daddy! If I still want it by the time it is my birthday, can't I have it instead of my coldwater tank? I could empty all the water out, and it wouldn't take much care." What Dad said next went something like this: "It is not a

A LOT of stuff happening!

     Hi guys, how are you? I am quite well, and am enjoying my last two weeks of being 13; wow, it has almost been a whole year since I started this! Well, my birthday is June 10th, if you want to comment happy birthday, or if you just wanted to know. We have been quite busy on what I like to call our hobby homestead.  Two female adult quail have been added to our small flock, named Ophelia and Athena, as well as two Salmon Faverelle pullet chicks. Names for them are TBD, and we just put seven, yes seven, duck eggs into the incubator, this night, as a result of the duck tragedy . Thea is at a dance right now, about to get home. I am quite tired; I had babysitting at high school youth group, as I am not quite in high school. I also did a bit of work around the house with the chicks and quail. I always feel like when I turn another year older, I am going to somehow feel so different, but it just feels like I am another day older, which I technically am. I have been writing letters to a g

Another Post is Due....

      So here it is! I am sorry I have kind of put this off, but I have been very busy lately. I have been reading, writing, cooking, farming, and many other things. I have started to write a book, and that is going very well so far, and I hope to talk about it more in another post. I have been cooking and baking, the most recent being chocolate mousse and tiramisu. I have been farming, and the latest big but sad news on that is that Ferris, my beautiful male quail, got killed by something. His ladies, Ophelia and Athena, are doing well, though they have stopped laying. I have finally signed up for Classical Conversations, which is my local homeschool co-op, and I am going into tenth grade level, although I still have to do some ninth grade things during the year. I am the only girl out of four students, but I know all the guys, so it should be fun. Katie is still being a very crazy puppy, but we figured out some new ways to help tire her out. Right now, she is laying down at my feet.
