Fun on the Farm


Peggy & Tina enjoyed visiting with this cute little goat.  They are such huggable animals when they are babies.

Ben was injured the other night (he is one of the Great Pyrenees).  We love our dogs and they are the best guards, but if we let the two of them out together, they end up at Lake San Antonio campground 20 miles away.  What we've begun doing is letting Angel out during the day and Ben out at night.  this works very well normally. 

We have about 100 acres that is completely fenced in non-climb.  The only problem is that nobody told Ben that it is non-climb and he climbs it.  When we woke up last Monday, Ben was up by the new barn, covered with blood.  The good news is that it wasn't his blood.  The bad news is that whoever he fought with, got hold of his back paw.  We've been watching it all week, but it was swollen again this morning so he has to go to the "dog hospital" today.

Our son James is in the Army and went to basic training in South Carolina in mid September.  He left from there to attend specialized school in Virginia.  He graduated #1 and we are soooo proud of him.

Our daughter-in-law moved with their 2 little boys to Washington, just south of Seattle a couple of weeks ago and James arrived this week.  They are so happy to be together again as a family.  Unfortunately the youngest, Carter, who is 5 months old, came down with chicken pox and is now in the hospital.  I think he's doing a little better today.  Poor little baby.

The farm is really booming.  We have over 30 rows of veggies planted as well as 2000 artichokes.  We are planting more each day. 

Enjoy the spring weather!
