Yardwork!

When you have 12 acres, it's a lot to maintain. But if you have lots of people working together it will go really fast! Above my brother is figuring out where to dig a hole which he thinks is work. He is so happy mom and dad are letting him dig on the property. Since we found out our soil is mostly sand, he thinks he's going to find something amazing! Anyway back to the subject. 
The first thing we did was mow around the pond. There were lots of bad weeds around the edges. It worked out great! 

Then we began to work on mom's future garden. It was so full of weeds that we had to use the mower again. We also had no compost out there so we had to use our little side by side to carry the clippings to the compost dad built yesterday. It worked out great! 
After we finished that job, it was time to mow our lawn! While we did that mom reaplanted plants and made the plants in the front look pretty again! 
When we finished the lawn, Lucy was so happy to have it cut short💗

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 😄
