Lol he also offered me some horses was so tempted lol dh asked how much I told him I didn't ask i was afraid i wouldn't pass on them. Lol. I was surprise dh consider it lol. Well the pigs are docile not so friend to me at the moment don't blame them but I did end up having to pick them up by hand and I didn't even get a love bit lol. They running around in the pen and seem to be thrilled. I be moving a small shelter in for them to get in to (temporary shelter little kid house thing). We expecting more storms so don't want them without if i can help it. Dang weather can't just chill. We need the rain not wind and hail. But it is what it is. Weird Texas weather ice in 90° weather. Gonna milk early and get everyone where i want them.might have to go to grandma's again i am hopingnandnprayeringnwe don't i want to sleep in my own bed. And be able to do my chores. This constant bag packing driving me crazy. Here a picture i was sent by previous owner of them i get a picture of them when i get the chance.

Here, too!! Between storms...satellite issues always...and servers overworked with extra time at home people create it's been slow.

Right now, our rains have been light--misty, sprinkly, etc. Now they say heavier to come but, right now not bad. In fact, it's a good time for me to pull some light weeds in the beans. So will do this this AM. Then, if still like now....will pop the last few plants into the new rows. Be ready for heavier rains late day. Lot of wet coming from South but, looks to be "sharing" with those along the way North. OK...our gardens need rain! At least it's warm out there.

My goats actually stayed out in some of this yesterday, so ya know it wasn't bad.
You're welcome for the rain. It came from the coast right through the heart of SC. We've had so much rain this spring, I wished HARD for it to stay in the air....didn't work....but hopefully NC won't claim it all and you'll get a nice share

Coffee is on. Woke up itching. I think we need a new bug spray...Ticks have been horrible at the farm and mosquitoes out last night after the rain. :barnie
Got my websites and a couple of my threads updated yesterday as it rained most the day. We did weed for about an hour before it started.
Today I am making pies, a rhubarb for DH and apple for my hay helper. DH may cut hay tomorrow. Meeting a BYH friend (@Wehner Homestead ) tonight, she's getting some rabbits from me for her kids. :bunny

Good morning..we are having bug issues too...it got hot alll of a sudden....while I’m milking, I get the milk mist on my legs, and it’s a feeding frenzy for the flies...yuck! So, now I think Im going to cover myself with a towel? Plus the pollen is crazy here! Have to change water at least twice a day...I realize that’s probably not bad for many of you? It’s supposed to rain again today and I’m privately hoping for it....we have nbeen sooo busy, I’m going to sit for an hour and then get back to doing chores in tge the barns...but, an hour break sounds like heaven!

Morning all well the new pigs will all come closer this morning trying to get them all pet able and uhh as i was typing this they can over to where i am sitting and one decide climb up on my lap was fine not sure i agree but okay. This one female and she got the roughed coat of the three its very thin and on her legs by her hoofs on her back leg the skins alittle red i be watching hee closely for issues so far nothing i can see. The guy had no other pigs he sold everything because he was moving. So couldn't see if they were all healthy or what i know one is have water stools not sure if that's from stress worms or both. Will be worming them as soon as I figure out how to because they are so tiny. Need to figure out doses. I am thinking about atleast while they are tiny to let them in the yard to graze while i am outside but that after i get them trained to follow me lol kids are in love lol the kids are in love. Also decide to let the goat back with her kids because she giving less milk then she was before go figure. Hopefully happy goat mean more milk or i might just put her in the yard so she can see them.

OH!!! How is she?? She's not been active for so long and I worry. I see on her profile that she has lurked and "Liked" a few posts. Would be great if she put an update in her journal. Tell her Hi for me.

Agree with Bruce....I was going to ask the same! Tell her we miss her and will forgive her absence. Sure hope all is well with her & family.

You know how we hate to have a member go "mia". We worry.

Overcast here...sprinkles off and on....dreary and HUMID...add that it's 80 degrees out there. A little more heat and it's a sauna.

Coffee is on. Slept until 6...
It was fun meeting the Wehners, just Mom and Dad. Maybe someday we can meet the kiddos too. And I we had a perfect bunny for her 4 year old.
Cutting hay and getting the fence and junk picked up at the farm. I have the corn crib empty of hay so we can clean up in there before more hay needs to go in there.
@Jesusfreak101 those are some cute piggies.
