Lucille's New Calf


Lucille came to us at the beginning of our adventure out here, and she is still one of the better cows we have. It was touch and go with her at first, we didn't see eye to eye in the beginning, but she has really come around. She still has her stubborn moments, but overall we wouldn't trade her for the world.

She had a lovely heifer calf the last time around, this time its a bull ! Can't win em all!

Now on to the Pixs!

Well there ya go, the newest addition to the gang, check back tomorrow for the first steps video!

Pigs Are Getting Big! And so Are the Figs!

The pigs continue to grow like ...well pigs! I spent last week rigging up a better water system, or so I thought. After its been hooked up several days I went out to check on it and I cracked a fitting, ArGHHHH!!!!! I'm sure never going to be a plumber!! Well here is what it looks like before the damage!
It's really a minor fix, but that didn't make me feel any better about it!!
The good part is they were able to drink out of it!

The Figs Are Getting Big!


This is a fig tree we planted last year, its putting out a good crop for its size, since it almost froze to death during the late April freeze this year. Amazing what a little rain does!!
