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!

Today we get pigs

After lunch today, we're driving a few hours to pick up the pigs. We're getting two Berkshire crosses today and one Kune-Kune on Sunday from a different place. Dad has built the training pen behind the stove, you can see on the right there's the water and the far left is their house. And, of course, Scotty named the two pigs, Bop and Bonk 😂 Can anyone guess what those names are from?

Around the farm

Not to much has happened this month, we have mainly just been getting ready for the winter ahead. There was a pig running around our backyard a few days ago. We don't know how it got there or who's it was, it was just running around. We tried to get it into the pig pens, but it ran away. It was so cute and tiny! The ducks and chicken are all good, all the chicken are now laying. We get around 6-7 eggs every day! Scotty grew a full beard and wanted to show everyone. It's almost Thanksgiving! Dose anyone have any plans? Thanks for reading!

Ice ❄

The ice on the pool was about 1 ½ inches thick. (Of course I tried to stand on it 😏, it did break after a few seconds though) I don't know if you can see it, but it's really thick. And the shore of the pond was frozen too! This is the sunset from the back deck around dinner time. And here's a bonus picture of the ducks sleeping after they went swimming in the afternoon!
