We have had so many things going on lately it's hard to decide what to post about. We have been trying to get"caught up" (LOL) at the farm & I have been trying to get caught up at home.
There are so many things that always have to be at the farm like grinding feed. We try to grind enough feed at one time to last us a few weeks though.
Another activity this week was working our sheep. Their hooves need to be trimmed (like us trimming our fingernails or toenails). Some our easier than others. It took me and Lee both to control the ram (and he was somewhat haltered) he still kicked me in the ankle though...ouch!
We also moved one of the boars in with the females. Not a difficult job it just takes time & equipment. First, Lee hooks the tractor up to a movable pen. Then fence has to be opened for him to get in and then we can usually get them in the pen with some tempting food. Of course, then the fence has to be opened again for him to get out and then we head to the females. We have to feed the females tho get them out of the way, open the fence again, get the boar off the movable pen.....so you get the picture. It's just another day on the farm.....
Our newest challenge has been that we now have a kindergartner living with us. So this means we have to be home at a certain time every night so he can do his homework, get his bath and go to bed.
Rosty is really having a great time in kindergarten. He has made new friends and got to play on the playground which has been the highlight of everyday for him.
He has homework sent home every Monday and it must be returned by Thursday.
This week he had 4 papers. He did some counting and writing the numbers, some coloring, sequencing and also cutting & pasting (the old fashioned way). It has been so neat to see him excited about doing homework.....I'm sure that won't last!
