Frogs, snakes, storms and ducks!

All around the pond, morning noon and night there are frogs. Lots and lots of frogs. Scotty just loves to find them and examine them, before he let's them go. 
There is also a ton of snakes. The main type we have seen has been the black snake. Also known as a rat snake. It is the same type that ate our chickens. 
Yesterday we got our first tornado warning! It never happened but we did get a ton of tunder and lightning from 10 to 12 at night! It has been a bit humid so far, but nothing to bad. 
And sadly the ducks have moved outside. We will miss them!

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?

Chicken eggs

Ice ❄

The ice on the pool was about 1 ½ inches thick. (Of course I tried to stand on it 😏, it did break after a few seconds though) I don't know if you can see it, but it's really  thick.  And the shore of the pond was frozen too!  This is the sunset from the back deck around dinner time.  And here's a bonus picture of the ducks sleeping after they went swimming in the afternoon!
