Getting the tractor started!

Dad got the tractor started! The tractor was already on our property, when we bought it, under the roof of the tobacco barn. It is a crazy old and vintage Ford tractor. Dad filled it up with diesel and spent at least an hour trying to start it because the glow plugs are shot and it doesn't like when it's cold. It is very confusing for me since I don't know how to drive a manual transmission and the tractor has not been started in a long time. He fiddled around with it for a few more hours and "Vroom!" It started! It only took him a little bit of time to figure out the controls since he's a mechanical thinker and got the attachments hooked up and off he goes! Good job Dad!

Random projects!

I don't have any pictures to post right now, so I'll just tell you about some random projects we are doing! Me and Scotty are thinking of names to name our chickens. He's thinking about some like "Chickn Licken Jr", " Drumstick" and " Wobbles". I really don't know what to name mine, but I'm thinking! Our house is beautiful but it needs a bit of updating. We are replacing the toilets, sink spigot and spouts, painting the cabinets and replacing the handles, fixing lights and a ton more. It's all really fun work! I personally are getting used to windows with no screens. A lot of the bugs that fly inside don't bug me at all, I just shoo them into my brother's room 🤣 But it really isn't pleasant when your brother shoos the hugest moth in the world into your room and it starts to fly in your face as your trying to go to bed. But we got that situated and the moths went back outside. Dad has been working hard in his barn and...

Easter

On Easter we had a few of our friends over for dinner and an egg hunt. Since our yards are so big the parents hid 100 eggs for the kids and us kids hid about 50 for the parents beer hunt. We had a few golden eggs with prize baskets and a super big egg with a mystery surprise (5 cans of silly string). And of course we hid them as hard as we could with the only rule of no burying them. Though im sure theres some more still out there, we keep finding them.😅 Happy Easter!

The pigs

Yesterday we picked up 2 piglets from a farm a few hours away, brought them home, and put them into the training pen. At first they were a little scared, but it only took them about ten minutes to get used to it and Scotty started feeding them out of his hand. They are friendly, but they do bite occasionally. Tomorrow were getting our last one, but that one is going to be more of a pet. These two... 🥓.
