farm life

This week we got some real farm experince!

took care of our neighbors animals

which means we got to learn how to milk the goat

and then bottle feed the lambs, kid, and calfs

this is Opal, our poor milking vitim..... Morning milks her in about 3mins, it took us 45mins
the kids all lined up to watch the show

Morning showed Frank how to milk the night before, so he goes first

Lizzie gives it a try

Poor Opal was getting really tired of us

so I did the bulk of the milking, trying to get done quickly

(can't take pics of myself >:o) )

Hungry babies

the big girls fed the calfs

More please!!!!

OMGosh

I can't believe how long it took me to get back online after moving!!!

we were on a waiting list for DSL for a month.

But, even though I had Internet withdraws, it gave us time to really get settled in our new home :)

here are some picks of our new country digs.......

The house

Our front yard



Our creek

the garden (as soon as I get it tilled..)

We have also acquired a "few" creatures since moving.....

Some of our 14 Chickens

Our 10 week old Mini Schnauzer, Miley Ray Stuart

Our 7 Week old chocolate lab, Stephanie

Our 18th month old deer chihuahua, Jackson Rod Stuart

I will update soon with some of the things that we have done and "experienced" since moving here
