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!

We got ducks!

This morning, we got a phone call from the post office telling us that our ducks were there and ready to be picked up! We had purchased a special breed of ducks, crested pekins, and the only way to get them was to order them from out of state! It only took 2 days to get here and they came safe and sound! They were freezing cold when we got them, so we immediately put them in there temporary house. Now they are warm, happy and being adorable!💗 Name the third duck challenge. Alright everyone! We are having a competition! We have two ducks already named, Mrs. Wimpy Dimple and Flippy Floppy. But we need one more name for the third duck! Write your answer in the comments and the winner will be chosen on May 27th! Thanks for reading and I can't wait to see everyone's names!

Mushrooms 🍄

All throughout our woods. Mushrooms grow everywhere! One they there is nothing on the trail and the next day giant ones are popping up! As dad has been building the pathways he has taken a whole bunch of pictures of them! This one is called chicken in the woods. It is edible. We harvested some and dried it. This little yellow one was so small! This one looks like a shower head, but we don't know the name yet. Thanks for the pictures dad!
