Gearing up for winter!

It's beginning to get cold here so we tested out our "Water stove". The water stove is like a outside fireplace that warms the house with heated water. Since summer we have been storing up wood, we can fit so much wood inside it! 
Another project we have been working on, is mom's garden. We tilled the whole thing, then covered it in plastic because the weeds get so bad, it turned out great! 
The chickens are almost ready to lay eggs, no one has yet, but Scotty thinks they will soon!
Other than that, not much is going on. We are getting ready for Halloween and getting our costumes ready!
Hope you guys have a great weekend!

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

For some reason the colder weather seems to be making the chickens lay more eggs, we're getting about eight.  And today I actually managed to catch a guinea hen 😂 Everything is changing with the colder weather expected the pond since it overflowed with the past storm.  Thats all for today, thanks for reading!

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!
