Day 252, Now That's a Dirty Pig

Bertha enjoying the cool weather.

Riley is getting a little to big to be held. 

Day 234, Big Baby Bird

Our little Riley is still getting big. 

Day 233, Hi Ginger! (Please Don't Eat Me)

Our cows(or steers, bovine or whatever other technical term makes you happy) are super friendly. I'm just a big baby when it comes to animals that are five times bigger than me. And I know cows don't eat people but I was wearing green at the time and Ginger might have thought I was a tasty salad. 

One good sniff proved otherwise...

Day 232, Water

With it being so hot lately and there being so many thirsty creatures around these parts I spend quite a bit of time passing out water. It would be nice to one day water the animals with getting soaked myself. It's well water and smells like dirty feet. 

Day 212, Sunset and Backhoe

We were really busy with the chickens this weekend. Here's a picture of Bobbin. 

Last day of July!

Day 211, Riley's Mom and Dad

 Riley is my favorite chicken ever. Here are his parents, Luna and Sammy. Luna is the sweetest chicken and Sammy is a big jerk. Riley is already proving himself to be quite feisty. I'm really hoping he mellows out a bit as he gets older.

Day 210, Piglets

Bertha the pig had piglets!!! Sow and 10 piggies are doing well. Naming will begin when personalities are established. Wilbur has been submitted as a possible option. We will see if it makes the cut. :)

Day 208, Riley

Our little rooster is getting bigger and bigger.

Day 199, Watering the Pig

Of all the pictures I took today this is the one I liked the most.

Day 194, Brand New Peep

We let one of our broody hens sit on her eggs and today one of them hatched!! He/she is pretty much the cutest thing ever.  And is the very first animal born right here on our little farming adventure. :)

In unison everyone...1.2.3....awwwwwwww. :)

Day 187, Charge!

 Our cows are starting to get big enough to be a little scary when they come running.

If my husband was a cartoon he would be wearing overalls and have a frog in his pocket. He is always coming to the house with random animals that he has rescued from various dangers.

Day 142, Strong and Soft
