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💗

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... 🥓.
