This little piggy!!!


Well it may seem that I have totally taken leave of my senses, but could anyone out there leave these two cute little runts behind? I ask you?? I went to visit my sheep on Friday with my friend Karin. They are still lambing but I should be able to bring them home in about a week or so. I was just going to check out the sheep, but one should never take a fellow farmer with you that is interested in pigs. After spending time with the sheep we took a walk over to the pig barn so
Karin could check out the breeding stock. Well there they were these little tiny runts just running around like they owed the place, the next words out of my mouth were that they were so cute!!! the next thing I knew was that they were in a box filled with hay in my hands and destine for my farm. So there you have it never take a fellow farmer to visit your sheep or you could end up with piggies. I luv it!!! Thanks L. they are wonderful..

Newest Additions

Well I figured if I'm going to be farming on a much larger scale, I might as well go for it. These are Black Aussie chicks ranging from one day old to ten days old. There are fourteen in total. I am hoping that the chicken gods do not bless me with to many roosters, but one never knows what will happen when you have a mixed bag. The sheep on the other hand I know immediately what I'm getting. I really like that whole concept much better. Well here it goes, just another adventure in farming and I do love farming. Ciaou for know.

New Day



As we go along in life what I have realized is there are doers and there are dreamers, and in the past week If I had any doubt about whether I was one or the other it became very clear that I am defiantly a doer. As a friend of my said you have gone from pause into fast forward, and that is exactly what it feels like. In a little more then a week I have gone from owning ten sheep into being the proud owner of forty some ewes, twenty plus lambs and a couple rams, life is good here on the farm.
