Welcome to Clover Country Farms blog! We are a small just getting started family farm in SE Texas. We have 4 boys , 1 baby girl, and lots of critters. Have a seat, put your feet up & grab a glass of cold sweet tea & have a look around. Watch us grow and learn from our mistakes... The Good The Bad & The sometimes CRAZY goings on of a Family farm.

Brrrrr! finally! Its chilly outside!!

It was 83 outside on Saturday, and Monday night it got down to 29! geesh no wonder everyone is sick!
we had a lot to do to get ready for the cold front....
-Put extra hay in the goat house for warmth.
-Extra hay out for Eeyore to burrow into.
-Extra hay for the big pigs
-3 bags of wood shavings in the dog kennel
-Charles cut up a lot of nice wood for the fire.
-Got all the seedlings into the greenhouse. (old swing set covered w/ a tarp and a light)

It was so nice to have the wood stove going all day. so nice and cozy.. i cooked a big ole pot of beans w/ bacon, ham. sausage all day .. mmm mmm mmm the house smelled so good! Brooke & I wore our fuzzy pink slippers, It was great! I have been waiting for soo long for these cooler days.

I really hope we get a few "good" freezes this year, we really need something to get these skeeters & creepy crawlies under control!

Football season is finally over. The boys did great! but BOY will it be nice to not have to run to football practice each night.. or early Sat games each week.

Now Christmas is on its way.. ((shudder))
I'm putting up the tree today.. maybe that along w/ the colder weather will help me feel more in the Christmas spirit.
I have most of My Christmas shopping done, its a good thing too! cause I'm outta $$! lol

The boys have been begging for sloppy Joes.. so I guess that'll be dinner tonight.
