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...

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!

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!
