HATCHING EGGS

Hatching Program for schools, other facilities and families!! We are a small backyard farm dedicated to educating people, helping others, and living a more sustainable life. If you're wondering why we are "Parsley Farm," "Pars" is from my last name and "sley" is from Greg's. We post videos on YouTube of our animals, projects, recipes, ideas, and renovations. We help out a friend of ours who is "differently-abled" and uses a wheelchair to get around. And sometimes helps us with our projects. We also have chickens, ducks, fish, bees, dogs, and (Stephanie's sister's) dove. Since we are always taking on new projects, there is never a dull moment!! But have no fear, there is plenty of humor and fun along the way! Come join us on our journey!!

Anyone else feeling like life is a bit much lately? October Schedule, in a nutshell (this doesn't include all the extras that didn't get written down 🙃):
✨️Set a local preschool up with hatching eggs and equipment.
✨️Spent about 20 hours at Doctor appointments for all members of our house (down significantly from last month 🙏)
✨️Spent about 20 hours in the ER or hospital, on two separate occasions with two different family members. (I had help with 6 hours 🙏) One got admitted and both have significant follow ups...
✨️Had to gather all the things I needed to get my taxes done by the 15th (I was too busy in April and even busier this month. But I got them done!!🙏)
✨️Had to prepare a response to the formal complaint made against our roosters. I think it ended up being over 30 pages of research and thought. It took up way more time than I had. Consequently, it set me back significantly with getting my training done for my bakery license...
✨️Spent 11 hours completing the training for my bakery license. Unfortunately, I have not been able to take the 90 minute proctored test and I have until Friday or I have to repay to test 🙃 As soon as I can get the test done, I'll be back to baking!!
✨️My youngest has been refusing to go to school and we have spent so much time and effort trying to understand why. Plus doctor's appointments, emails and calls with the school. And still no solution to get back on track.
✨️Three early releases
✨️One holiday/ planned day off from school.
✨️My dad was hit by a car the same night I had to get up and speak at the Select Board Metting regarding my roosters.
✨️One hospital discharge
✨️School events and meetings
✨️Greg's Birthday 🎉
✨️Candling eggs with the preschool kids and setting the eggs up to hatch
✨️Prepping brooders for eggs I set at home and the chicks hatched at the preschool
✨️Rehomed 3 flocks, 26 birds in total, only to have our neighbor say there's been no further reduction, in terms of the noise, from our property 🤬 For someone recording and monitoring our property as carefully as he is, he really ought to have noticed 26 less birds... 🤷‍♀️
✨️Moved 4 flocks to different areas (One more to go!!)
✨️Multiple non-medical appointments/ meetings
✨️Scheduling and rescheduling everything on my schedule, multiple times, because life keeps requiring non-stop flexibility...

I did manage to squeeze in my first physical in about 6 years. Besides being pretty significantly anemic, I'm healthy as a horse. So, that was all positive.

There are some fun and positive things happening around here. But, there are definitely some challenging things as well.

How was your October? Are we hoping November is a better month?

Update!! My dad needs surgery to fix his teeth and his wrist. He goes for surgery Thursday to put a plate in his wrist. He found out the tooth that isn't broken in half, was cracked off at the root. So, he needs that extracted and a post and crown. Due to the expense, he's currently opting for a flapper.

This just doesn't sit right with me. My dad was injured by a person operating a vehicle. My dad was in a crosswalk. He looked both ways. The light on his side was red. He thought it was safe to go. The light for the oncoming traffic turned green. But, the traffic on my dad's side has a delayed green. So, he didn't know and proceeded to cross. He got hit. The person attempted to check on my dad. And we appreciate that. My dad thought he was ok. But, pretty quickly realized he was not. He still managed to walk home and call me for help, after processing what had happened.

I don't think its right that my dad has to jump through hoops to get his medical bills covered. I think its even worse that he's opting for minimal care due to fear of the associated costs. The police don't seem very invested in helping us any further than pulling footage at a couple local establishments. They can see exactly what happened. But unfortunately, could not get a license plate number.

Consequently, we still have not found the man who hit my dad. If you're on Central Street in Georgetown, MA and have a ring camera, can you please check it for a silver camry on October 26th around 630-650pm? The incident occurred at the Town Hall/ Spiros intersection at around 640pm.

If you know someone with a silver Toyota Camry, please mention our post to them. Please help us get the word out so my dad can get the care he deserves.

All the little chickies moved into a new brooder this morning!! The Children's Castle I know you can't tell the difference between the Marans. But, the little gray bird is the one you all hatched ❤️

Ambassador and his ladies say, "Thank you, for the pumpkins!!" ❤️🎃🎉

Happy Halloween, Everyone!! If anyone local has a pumpkin they want to donate to our farm, we're always happy to take pumpkins at 147 Main Street in Groveland.

Three sweet little babies came back to our farm today. They were hatched in a local school, as part of our hatching program. Who thinks the one with the comb, that's already popping, might be a boy? 🫣😍

We are looking for the public's help!!

We're hoping to find the driver of a silver Toyota Camry, who was involved in an accident with my dad in Georgetown, MA, on Monday, October 26, at approximately 6:40 p.m.

The incident happened at the intersection of Library Street, Andover Street, and Central Street (Route 97) in downtown Georgetown.

My dad, who was walking, was struck by a car. The driver stopped and asked if he was okay. My dad was understandably stunned and disoriented. At the time, he genuinely thought he was all right. Unfortunately, as the adrenaline wore off, he began to realize the extent of his injuries.

He ended up in the emergency room with a crushed bone in his wrist and significant damage to his upper front teeth. One tooth is split in half, and another is loose and may need to be removed. He's facing medical and dental treatment and we're trying to figure out how any out of pocket expenses will be covered. (He does have insurance. But we aren't sure what may or may not be covered, at this time.)

We're hoping to connect with the driver so we can exchange information and work out the appropriate next steps. The driver did stop and check on my dad. My dad is thinking if he sees this post he would try to reach out to us. From what my dad remembers, he seemed like a nice guy who was almost as shocked as my dad, by what had happened.

The police are aware of the incident and are doing everything they can to help us identify the driver. They asked to not be inundated with calls regarding the incident. But, if you were in the area around that time, or have any information that might help us connect with the driver, please send me a private message. If you happen to be the driver and see this, we would really appreciate hearing from you.

We're just trying to connect with the person involved so we can figure out how to move forward and get my dad the care he needs.

Please share this post to help us reach the right person. Thank you so much. ❤️
