Mama pigs are nesting...

Well maybe they aren't nesting, but we have two mama's that are about to have babies!

The daddy is Goggles that we sadly lost in the fire... I think he makes the prettiest babies!  So everyday I send Chris with the camera, hoping that is the day that she starts having them.  Unlike me, pigs don't need doctors waiting by to catch the babies, in fact the smoothest delivery happened when no one was around and that morning we discovered she had 8 babies.  She looks ready doesn't she!


The sheep were happy to find some grass today, they are very easy going.  Although the other day they broke into the little barn that is left and dumped over the chicken feed barrels -- and ate some of the food...Grandpa T and Chris we not happy to find that when they went to do chores.

Ahhh the fun of owning a farm...we are standing by waiting for the mamas to go, they had to build a make shift hut, since normally they would be in the big barn.

It will be a good day when we have new life on the farm...and the babies are sooo cute, you will want to take one home.  I will make sure to post some pictures.  Maybe they will wait until Wednesday, the day that Jorja May and I go to the farm to pack eggs and orders for Purple Porch Coop.

Have a great night!
