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💗

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?

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!
