Long night in the barn, Nelda woke me 2:20 a.m. to tell I had just missed the first baby. Violet had a boy and girl Sully and Grace. Both very vocal like their dad Jasper. It's a muddy mess at the farm we have had a total of 6 in. and the not including last week. They say more rain on the way. Myrlte should be next and soon.

2009-04-10T08:12:00.000-07:00

They love play time in the barn. This weekend will be the first day in the pasture. Mrie has one ear longer than the other, the ear that was folded on the end when she was born. That makes her special.

Josh was so sweet and loved everyone. I will miss him so much, he had the softest fur and funny little walk . He played with and was pals with everybody but Martha Lou was his favorite. Sometimes I think I see him setting downstairs. If he wanted in and I was in bed he would climb on the roof, come to my window and of course I would let him in to snuggle all night. XOXO my sweet boy.

2008-10-30T08:46:00.000-07:00

The boys have a new home. I built it in a weekend. Dad came down and helped put on the finishing touches. They moved right in, it's the bachelor pad. I may put on a dutch door or a another slider not sure.

2008-10-23T07:45:00.000-07:00

First Josh stole Lucy's bed and than Martha. Martha just wants it because she likes to sleep with Josh. Their is not enough room for Martha to sleep with Lucy, Martha is growing every single day. I loosen her harness every night at bedtime.

2008-10-14T07:23:00.001-07:00

Martha & Josh are being watched very closely by Louise the goose. Then it's up and time for a snack.

2008-10-13T07:21:00.000-07:00

Waiting in the kitchen for a treat.

2008-10-06T13:01:00.000-07:00

Martha loves eating popcorn. I throw it all over the yard and keeps her busy for a while. She's getting very fast because the chickens like it too. She has also developed a double chin, it runs in her family.

2008-09-02T06:50:00.001-07:00

She loves her pool. Sometimes she will fall asleep and I'm sure she dreaming of being an Olympic swimmer.

2008-08-29T06:48:00.000-07:00

They are such big boys now.

2008-08-28T14:20:00.003-07:00

Martha's love everybody. She's a very happy pig. Jackson was very good sport. Life would be dull without animals.

2008-08-04T10:31:00.000-07:00

The family that bought Lewis bought Clark last weekend. They are together again and the family loves Lewis and can't for Clark. It was by accident. I'm so happy they are in good homes.

Mason was ready for any adventure at the farm Sunday. He told stories of past experiences and stopped to talk to a piglet.

2008-07-17T06:17:00.001-07:00

We seem to always be waiting on this piglet. Martha gets side tracked looking for something to eat.

2008-07-15T11:09:00.000-07:00

Fog is interesting it makes old views look new. Something so simple can change the landscape so much.

2008-07-03T08:47:00.000-07:00

It's hay time. I missed the whole tractor photo from the car but I couldn't stop. The sky was so pretty. It's hard to drive and take pictures.

2008-06-26T12:53:00.000-07:00

Martha is one busy piglet. She loves to be with the dogs, cats and myself. She likes to play and go on walks, she follows while I'm doing the nightly chores.

2008-06-24T08:45:00.000-07:00

She already house broken in just 2 days, she walking on a leash but would rather just follow. She loves the dogs and goes on walks. She look to play wrestle with your toes. She's spoiled rotten.

2008-06-20T06:14:00.000-07:00

2008-06-09T11:19:00.000-07:00

Friday the rooster is in jail for attacking me. Real bad choice. This was when he was was a free man.

2008-06-03T08:29:00.000-07:00

Louise and her baby three more are under her wing. She loves her chicks, they are Mottles Houdans (Polish Crested family). The babies will have top hats. I bought these chicks the ones she had been brooding didn't make it.

2008-06-02T08:34:00.000-07:00

My babies are growing up. They still like to cuddle.

2008-05-29T10:48:00.000-07:00

Had a great time in Boston, it's a very pretty city.

2008-05-29T10:45:00.000-07:00

Up close and personal. They are always in your business.

2008-05-28T10:42:00.000-07:00

2008-05-12T07:58:00.001-07:00

2008-05-12T07:55:00.000-07:00

I trim trees and bushes through them over the fence and they eat the leaves. I then burn the branches. We are team and they are eating machines.

2008-05-12T07:51:00.000-07:00

Myrtle is pawing at Pasty's head in the hopes she will start to play.

One of the baby boys shows that his little.

2008-05-11T19:30:00.000-07:00

He's such a show off, I just love him.

2008-05-05T08:03:00.000-07:00

Friday is getting a little to big for his pants. He chased Mason the other day and scared him to death. Mason does not like the rooster anymore. I've had to let him know who's the boss a few times, you can't turn your bad to him.

2008-04-28T10:38:00.000-07:00

It was like a picnic to have lunch on mom outside. Maybe kept a close eye on what was going on. Louise the goose started setting on the chicken eggs. She may have chicks soon what a screwy farm I have.

2008-04-28T10:35:00.000-07:00

The boys came out to play. It's so much fun to watch them try to play. They didn't want to be away from mom for to long.

2008-04-27T10:41:00.000-07:00

It's starting to get greener every day. The pond is away up, it may be normal is just been so dry the last 2 years.

2008-04-25T06:47:00.000-07:00

Nothing like a mom's love to make everything all right.

2008-04-24T11:14:00.000-07:00

They are here two very health boys. I'm so happy. They were born on my friend Kim's birthday. Early in the morning. Everybody came to greet me in a different matter this morning, like they wanted to tell me something was happening. They all looked for a view through the fence to see the new arrivals. Nelda is a very good mother.

2008-04-18T06:05:00.000-07:00

He was the pick at the auction last night everybody wanted him but he wanted to come to my house. I call him Opie, he will be Pearl's date in November. He's only about a week old. I should have no problem finding him a good home later people love a dapple Nubian.

2008-04-12T06:03:00.000-07:00

2008-03-31T08:20:00.001-07:00

From the side and the top. Her due date is anytime after April 6. I can feel the babies and do twice a day. I CAN'T WAIT. You would think I was having them. I have no idea on Lily and Pasty's due date, Kurt was all wrong. I'm just glad Dad and I finished the maternity ward in time.

2008-03-30T08:15:00.000-07:00

The other PG girls. Shirley looks like she's going to kid any time but she's not, she just likes to eat.

2008-03-29T08:09:00.000-07:00

They seem to like the new digs. Everybody gives Lily plenty of room.

2008-03-24T11:18:00.000-07:00

Mayflower was renamed Maybe. Maybe she'll stay, Maybe she'll go. Be good you stay. She's doing very well, with a watchful eye. She loves the goats she still wants to play. She was great with the kids (Mason & Olivia) and the new babies. In a year she will out of puppy phase and should be fine, so people tell me, from their experience with guardian dogs.
