Spring cleanup on the farm

A beautiful day to clean up the garden, pasture and yard.

Burn permit and all.

Some green hay for the ruminants, as the pasture is greening up but not yet ready for grazing!

Our "little boy" lamb isn't so little! He is getting harder to snuggle! We are thinking of keeping him for breeding, as he is a nice ram lamb!

Frogs

Farmer J heard spring toads, or frogs, for the first time today. Spring sounds are in the air!

Listen, and watch, the link below.

Happy Easter!

It's cold and rainy where we live so I doubt there will be an outdoor egg hunt! I'm thankful to my Aunt Sandy and Mima for hosting this year! Sending you all blessings for a lovely day....

...Christ the lord is risen today, alleluia...

Pasture in my front yard?

I came home and saw this....

Electric fencing in my front yard! Hmmm...

I prefer these guys in the back of our house!

Farmer J said he is just practicing putting up the pig fencing!

Oink, oink

Two of these (or three, if you ask Farmer J) piglets will come to our farm in 6-8 weeks!

Gloucestershire Old Spot piglets are known for their pink skin and black spots! The boys are excited to get our "cute" piglets later this spring. I had to remind them that the piglets' names will be "bacon" and "bbq".
