New Baby On The Farm.....:)

Lee was on a journey of some sort this afternoon and ran across this new fawn in the woods across from the cabin and sought out Marie to do the photo shoot. It is probably only a day old as it still doesn't have it's legs under it yet but it did manage to get up and walk a few feet, I mean hoof, deer don't have feet, but then right back down it would go and pose some more. I am sure mama was near by watching these two "humans" annoy her new baby (kinda like a new mom at the mall huh) but all was set right with nature and all is well on the farm once again...........:)

Maykinbaykin and Corn and Beans and.......

Now that's some corn ain't it!!!! Course we got some of the most potent fertilizer you'll ever find just ask anyone that knows me. I apologize for the tired look but I had been chasing that darn pig for hours and as you can see, he had been out for a while cause he got a little sun burned. No kidding aside, all the corn is in the ground (and some coming back out as you can see) and at the time of this post probably half the beans. Planting is rolling right along ahead of schedule only after a long rain delay which has apparently turned into a rain deficit or so it appears as you can see by the cracks in the ground (almost lost the pig in one) ! But despite Mother Natures attempts to stop them Terry, Lee and Randy are going to "Gitter-done"!!

Things have been a little hectic in the barns the past few weeks. Despite the usual routine it is time to get the cool cells up and running so the mommies can maintain their coolness (my word) and hopefully maintain their embryos that we spent so much time getting into place and hopefully those embryos will turn into little piggies running all over the place. To this point Lori and I haven't had a problem in that respect. In only a few months the 4-H pigs we sold will start winning at fairs all across the state and states and before you know it the State Fair will start. Time just flies when you are having fun don't it!! We have sold more pigs this year so Steve is going to have to have wings before all the shows are over. Good luck with that (won't take much of a set of wings to lift him)!!!

Marie and I have been working in the garden for the last two days and finally finished today but now the flower beds need redone, says her, what a load, says I, doesn't matter what you say, says her, yes mam, says I, so redone we do. There is something to be said for concrete and gravel. I once made fun of a guy who had to take out the garbage all the time till I met my wife and had to do everything but.....

Well, it's another beautiful warm sunny day here on the farm but it is finally winding down or at least slowing to a crawl but for the most part everyone is home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again.
