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!

A tour around our house!

Here is a tour of our house! We will start with the outside. This is the front porch/sitting area. And this is our dining area in the kitchen. Cant forget this dramatic picture of the chandelier! And here is the view off our back deck! The play structure has Scotty's shelter on it. Now an update on the pets! Lucy is doing great! She has been going on walks every morning and night without getting scared. She even goes out onto the dock with us sometimes. And occasionally she will chase squirrels around the yard! She is getting more comfortable with the ducks, but doesn't like to sniff them because one bit her nose! But other than that, she loves it out here. Tea and Crumpets are also doing good. Just being guinea pigs. We have let them play outside in a cage and they loved it! They also get to play around my room sometimes too. Finally we have Pickles and Sapphire. They too, are doing good. They are still crazy loud and messy. But they are happy. The ducklin...

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?

The aftermath of the storm

The storm wasn't as bad as the weather Channel said, but there was still quite a bit of rain and wind. No tornadoes or thunder. A lot of branches and pinecones fell and some of the pathways were flooded. But no serious damage! Now we have a lot to clean up after the next storm on Friday 😄
