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 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

Day 141, Baby Chicken Impluse Buy

My husband went to the store to buy dog food and came home with 12 little chicks. He couldn't pass them up because they were only a $1 a piece. I didn't think we needed anymore chickens, but they are just sooo cute.

I took this photo while going east on route 82 (before the baby chicks came). I have always liked the womanly curves, haha, of the road there.

Day 113, Birds

 Finally, it has stopped raining and I am able to explore the great outdoors, well, at least my backyard.  This bird/photo reminds me a lot of the photo I took for Day 15. I wonder if they are related...

And other one because I can. This is Sammy. And yes. He is as evil as he looks.

Day 106, Stormy Spring Day

April showers bring May flowers. 

Day 104, Cremy's Eye

Such long eyelashes.

Day 98, Baby Chicks

Our lil' farming enterprise now includes 2 cows, 3 pigs, and, our latest addition, 12 baby chicks. Now I just have to come up with 12 names...

Day 94, All the Pigs

I was trying to limit the number of farm animal photos I use for this project but this was my favorite for the day.

Day 91, This lil' Piggie stayed home...

Our farm is growing. Today we added piggies.

Day 83, Baby Ginger

Last month we went to a livestock auction. Today we went back and bought three baby calves. This is the smallest and cutest, Ginger.
