Once again, we went to Noble Family Farms for a fun day, and once again, I asked the owner what she was going to do with the pumpkins in the field once they closed for the season. Once again, she told me to come back and take as many as we wanted. A couple of … Continue reading Pumpkin time!

Hornets and Homeschooling
This happened five years ago; Facebook reminded me. I just had to share it here! LOL Oct. 27, 2012 On the way home from the field trip yesterday, just at the end of our road, I saw a HUGE hornets' nest about six inches off the ground (seriously, this thing was about 18" - 24" … Continue reading Hornets and Homeschooling

These pigs are definitely more brave than any of the other pigs we've had before! The funny thing is that it's the smallest one that is the absolute fearless leader of the pack.

We can’t believe the cattle didn’t eat this!
Ted was dragging the driveway when something in the pasture caught his eye. He investigated, and he couldn't believe what he found (and that the cattle never are it!)! He brought it home, and it's decorating the front porch for fall!
