Fish pond
Remember when Ted put fish in the swimming pool one winter? They multiplied! It's not a swimming pool anymore; now it's a fish pond! The fish range in size from thumb size to about eight inches long, and their colors are bright orange and dark brown, some with spots and some with yellowish stripes! They're … Continue reading Fish pond

C’mon, piggies!
The gate has been opened to the bigger paddock for the piglets because they've stripped all the greenery from their little area, but they still are afraid to cross where the gate was previously locked.

Waiting is so hard…
The neighbors are target shooting, so DG wasn't allowed to go out with Ted to lock up the chickens. She's stared forlornly at the door like this since he went out.

How many can you spot?
Last Saturday, we worked outside all day. The chickens helped. Can you see how many are kicking around under the blackberry bushes? There were nine!

Eek!! Snake!!!!!
It was an absolutely gorgeous day here on the farm, so Ted fixed the chicken coop door, and then I said, "Let's clean out the garage while it's not hot!" He agreed, and we got busy. We've been out here for five hours, trying to organize all of the tools and farm stuff and gardening … Continue reading Eek!! Snake!!!!!
