Benji Flys

This is my buddy Benji, he is having fun in the water as you can see. Although unbenonced to him it is all a plan by Susan to give him his bath. She just covers him in liquid soap and throws a stick in the water and away he goes! Three or four times and, as you can see, he is as white as can be. She does Kim the same way but she uses jelly doughnuts and not a stick which had been working fine until they were on vacation last year walking past the fountain in Central park and a little kid drops his jelly doughnut in and yep, you guessed it, in goes Kim. The police did fine him but he didn't care, he got the doughnut...........:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is Marie's Birthday so if you see her give her a big HAPPY 35 BIRTHDAY HUG or just say hay.....you might also tell her that her clothes are undone....:)

Baby Jonathan Is On His Feet..

I hope Mom realizes that this is the beginning of a nonstop foot race between her and Baby "J" for anything and everything that he can see. All those little things that he has been focusing his little eyes on for the past 7 months, which by the way he will be "8" months old this week, but had no way to get to.........TILL NOW...:))))

Itty Bitty Teeny Tinny Baby Kildee Bird.....

Just wanted to share this photo....I almost chewed him (her) up with the mower this afternoon....it was in the far corner of the yard running for all it was worth and it's parents were in the opposite corner of the yard looking for it and it's brother (sister) so I scooped him (her) up and within the hour they were all together and happy and all is well on the farm once again......:)))))

Week Is Over......

Yep, it's over again and the weekend is here..kinda redundant isn't it, weekend, week is over, oh well, what do I know... Thursday went well, even with the visit from the Vet who thought only a few minor adjustments needed to be made, and all was accomplished in a timely fashion as usual. What a load.... Lori and me's lucky streak in regards to our flow-go was broken by a mommie who obviously didn't set her clock back an hour and wound up on Southern Wrong Gestation Time and started, well you know, right in the middle of everybody and everything....lucky for us her starter was stuck in start and we moved her into the correct time zone and more suitable accommodations where she proceeded to have 11 well, you know, and we were as happy as two bugs on a bean....Randy did get to shower in and walk through with the Vet and even see the new feed system, I think he should do that more often....(I mean shower)....:)
Well, if you look back through the archives you will find a photo of "JJ", our new teaser boar to be, that Lori adopted a while back. We finally got to introduce him to his "harem" today and he was impressed with them and they were pleased with him!!
I hope he doesn't get on the computer and read this it will give him a big laugh...
yes, I know what you are thinking, a pig on a computer and yes we encourage them not to for safety reasons, but it happens, they do get online, cause you never know what a hog will do when it gets "boared"...
Yep, I'm done...the Sun is fading, everyone is home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again....:)

Thursday.....:)

Yep, it's Thursday again but despite that it really turned out to be a rather nice day even weather wise. Sunny, 70's cool breeze, what more could you want. Marie was weeding, Lee was mowing, don't have a clue what Randy and Ronda was doing, we were all maykin baykin, as usual, and despite our unreliable help we got everything done right on schedule. No breakdowns or breakups, still running a surplus of mommies and we are going to as long as we can make the flow flow (get it) we got all the little piggies moved and the room washed and we were sweating bullets about getting the mommies in before they, well you know, but we made it once again without an episode and Lori and I are just tickled orange in that case, ahhh don't you just love it when a plan comes together or at least looks like it, Luke Skywalker would be proud, (that being me and Lori would be Chewbacka, you've seen her hair)......:)
Well, needless to say, I should shut up now and see if I can find some way to be a little more destructive......
The day is over, everyone is home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again...

Baby "J" Likes To Eat

Just wanted to share this photo of Baby "J" that I found in my inbox with everyone. Funny thing is, I think I have one just like it of Lori, difference is it was taken only a couple of week ago... NO kidding aside, John or Linda, if you have a photo of "Little Lori" like this I will pay good money to get my hands on it......:)
Happy Eating Jonathan......

"Sticky" Thursday

Well it's Thursday again but this one was a sticky one, heat and humidity moved in, and nothing could escape it. The piggies were miserable. You see we don't furnish antiperspirant for them, if they don't bring it with them they don't have any. So they all had a bad case of "PPO"(pig perspiration odor) all day and spent all there time trying to avoid one another. Me, I have to admit I smelled like a rose all day long (rose being the color of the towel I kept with me to soak up all that stinky sweat) and like the piggies, we all spent the day trying to avoid getting too close to one another, our antiperspirant died at 6:01 this morning...power washing may have been the only exception. That 195 degree water felt cool when the fan would blow it in your face.....
Needless to say everything else went rather smooth for a Thursday and we are still batting a thousand on flow control with only a flicker of an accident Wednesday we are back on track for the week. Everybody headed home right on time today and as of this moment all appear to be home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again....:) We did get about .5 inches of rain mid afternoon that cooled things off a tad..........

TGIF....

Finally Friday again....the week has gotten progressively hotter, in more ways than one, and the weekend looks to be hot and "sticky"!!! Good for the fat boys, not so good for the piggys!! Sunday is Fathers day, hope all you fathers, and you know who you are, have a great and lazy day, hopefully somewhere cool.....I am going to mow my yard, work in the garden, and then make an attempt to commit suicide by eating till I drop dead in front of the TV....maybe with cheese puffs or roasted Peacock......next week could be even hotter.........

Happy Birthday Kim and Susan.....:)

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is Kim and Susan's Birthday and we all just wanted to send them a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" greeting!!!!! Any spanking will have to be postponed till they return next week, but we can wait.
Have a Happy Birthday kids, but save some for your anniversary..........:)
