Ok...Has been a hard year in many ways...
January started with Silas in the Hospital - 4 day venture...it did hit others but not as bad.... Hard winter - missed days of work with snow days.... Spring melt - barn flooded...house flooded...roads closed... Ice Storm - Tree's down - no power for 4 day's or so.... Bigger Horse pen put together.... Fox attacked some of our ducks....and probably some of the chickens... Gun safety for the Boys....followed by a great day shooting... Cars breaking and still broken.... I - Troy - got stitches from a strike from our horse - not bad but was a bit of a wake up call...have a lot to learn... Horse got out and got cutup across the front...not sure what happened....but yeah....that happened.. Got Cow's from Jackson lost a tire on the trailer on the way home.... fenced an area for them....one was sickly and would give it shot, but he did not recover from it. Other's are doing well. Funeral - Grandma - know the time would come and it did.... Got to bring home somethings from the past home in Northfield before Selling it....waiting on the closing of that chapter soon. Hard to let it go, but look forward to picking up the mess we have made over the years. many other things...sure I am missing.... And next year.....2020....yeah....it will continue....not going to share it yet... 5-11-2019Hard week, started with the loss of one of the lambs....sheep are a different animal, very fun, follow you around like a dog...clumsy...and the little ducks and chickens are in the barn with the older ones....in a makeshift pen...getting to know there new home. Think they will mingle in with the older ones well. Did have the door fall on a chicken....so we have lost one of our older chickens. Happens to be Matthew chosen first chicken - and will be missed... Also in our heads right now as it gets closer to last years date of the mink attack...do not want a repeat happening of that night. 4-4-2019Spring is here and the animals are happy, ducks are enjoying the water, the new ducks just got a bath in the tub the other day, getting bigger all the time. Outside plans are coming together...fencing gates ideas and we are going to get our first calf....so will have many more things to share. fun video to share, snow was still here then...not now.... 3-16-2019One of the many challenges that comes in the spring is babys. Lots of them - Chickens are here - Elizabeth and Ella checked out an auction today. And brought back this years chickens...am sure we will add more latter...but they got 25 layers, and 25 straight runs....so a good start.
We like to add the endangered animals so did get some will be fun to give them a home and a purpose. |
