Happy Birthday, Farmguy! Sending special birthday wishes as well as lots of love and thanks to my husband, Scott, a.k.a. “Farmguy.” Farmguy celebrated his birthday earlier this week with a cake from all of us here on Green Hill Farm. *A special thank you to my talented cousin, Teresa for making such a lovely and delicious cake.

Our newest additions to Green Hill Farm are getting BIG! It’s amazing how quickly these chicks are growing. I think they’ve doubled in size in two short weeks. They’ve already started developing wings as well as demonstrating various chicken behaviors–like scratching for food. I just love these darling, fluff balls and thought I’d share…

Growing up on a farm as a child afforded many wonderful experiences. Meaningful experiences that shaped my values and inspired me. I remember when I was about 6 or 7 years old, my dad decided that it would be nice to have fresh milk and eggs. So, he bought a Holstein cow named Bessie…
*I had a few issues with re-sharing this post yesterday, so I thought I’d give it another go. My apologies if you saw it already. BRRR!! It’s cold and windy outside, and it’s supposed to get even colder this weekend…8 degrees on Saturday. There is also snow in the forecast. I decided to re-share this post as I recently came inside from walking the dogs as well as feeding the barn cats, sheep, and chickens–plus, gathering eggs. And, I. am. frozen. Let me just say…I can’t feel my fingers yet. On a sunnier note, all the critters on Green Hill Farm are healthy and happy, and that’s definitely a heartwarming thought. I hope you enjoy the wintry photos. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂 Farmguy spontaneously took this photograph last winter as we headed out the door to feed our sheep and chickens. He was amused by my “winter outfit” and wanted to capture the moment. I don’t normally dress like this, but it was during one of the polar vortexes. You see, in the winter, Green Hill Farm is our version of a tundra. So, with temperatures dipping into single digits over the last few days, I’m back to this lovely look, again. Ughh! Even though it’s cold and not fun to go outside, I thought I would embrace the beauty of the season by sharing some photographs from past winters on Green Hill Farm. I hope you enjoy!
I thought I would share some images and a few simple joys that were highlights of my week. I love spring bulbs, especially hyacinths as they remind me of Grandma Rieley. When I was a child, Grandma had a bulb garden full of hyacinths at the side of the house (where we live now). I’ve always adored the fragrant […]
“In the end, only kindness matters.” ~Jewel Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! With love from all of us at Green Hill Farm, Scott, Tonya, Maud, Dash, Clementine, Finn, Olive, Churchill, and all of the sheep and chickens ********************** Thanks so much for following Fourth Generation Farmgirl!

I so enjoyed this post by the author of TBN Ranch blog. “Carol of the Bells” is one of my favorite Christmas carols; however, I had not quite heard it performed in this manner. The choir of chickens clucking out the tune completely cracked me up! I hope you’ll visit TBN Ranch blog and enjoy a slightly different version of […]
“The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be.” ~Shakti Gawain To be honest, some days here are difficult; however, I don’t have to look far to find a reason to feel grateful. Today was such a beautiful day–unseasonably warm and clear blue skies! So, I decided to take a stroll around […]
