The last post I posted that there were new puppies well they have all grown and moved onto new homes. On our way to pick up our pigs we got to stop in and see the puppies in person. Shadow really did a great job mothering those pups they had nice round bellies and just perfect personalities It was really hard to not take one home. Here is a picture of them all sleeping after the girl played with them all.
So I mentioned pigs, well we decided to get pigs this year to raise. Boy, were they hard to find seamed like everyone had the same idear. So someone had told me about criagslist so I started searching for pigs lots of calling and everyone seamed sold out as soon as they posted. Finally I was the first caller and got some pigs ordered and was a nice person and ordered pigs for all the neighbors in Baltimore (were we are working on building our new house.) Thirteen pigs. We have had the pigs for over a month know and they are growing like weeds.
Speeking of Weeds the garden seams to be growing more of them insted of veggies. We put in an extra large garden so we could feed the pigs the extra produce plus fill our freezor for the winter with grocciers being so expensive and all. I finally found some time to weed the garden last weekend and get some mulch put down so the weed can't take over.
We have been working hard on our property. We have been sawing and milling and even making a shed with our new found lumber. Its a great feeling that we did all the steps ourselves. Here are a few pictures.
Here is a clear spot we can finally see the stone wall.
Here is a little stack of hemlock waiting to be milled and of course you can see the hard working dog following me around and trying to get into all the pictures. We can't get any of these log to mill without the use of a dependable tractor it may be small but boy can it do the job.
The best investment was our mill.
Here is a little load of lumber we milled. A shed made out of our fine lumber. can't wait to build the house. We will be camping out all summer to work on the property.
As you can see we have been very busy. Thanks to the rain hay can't be made so I am in catching up on other thing have a great day.
