Latest and greatest

So alot has happened since my last post.   The babies are now 5 months old going on a year.    The boys have recognized that they are just that: boys.    The moms have been weening them all and the two bottle feeders are almost there as well.  

The barn is receiving some work today as we needed to clean it out/muck it for the winter.   We are also in the process of expanding the barn area and wether the boys.   Having a full flock of goats has added alot more work to the little farm that we have.

The guinea birds are laying eggs daily.  No brooding birds though.   Our ducks on the other hand have the twins brooding.   We should see (hopefully) baby ducks soon.   This is exciting to us as we haven't experienced baby ducks yet.  There are several hens brooding but none of them have produced any chicks yet.  Could be the constant change of weather - who knows.

So, the farm is super busy.    We are also dredging out the pond and redoing the clay layer to have a bigger pond to host fish this time around.   We already are good on turtles, frogs, toads, and water birds.   Time for fish...

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSO, sounds like alot, huh?  Guess what, there is even more that has changed.   As you are aware, my blogging has been quiet for a bit.   Well, in March, we became legal guardians to a wonderful little person!   As you can imagine, her presence in our lives have caused a major shift in thinking, behaving, living, and loving.   She has been the best thing ever.

Our little one loves the farm.  She does chores with us every day.  Her favorite thing to do is "help" with the water needs (aka, play in the water; run around in the mud).   She loves the goats and is fascinated by the ducks.  

The dogs have taken a special liking to her too.   They are especially protective of her.   They walk with her wherever she goes in the house or on the farm.  

Her laughter fills the house with beams of joy and happiness.

Hope all is well in your world!  Ours is full of awesomeness.   More to come the next time I have a few minutes.

Next chat will be on the garden...stay tuned!
