Having time to update a blog is hard to do. Since my last update I have had new baby pigs that are now 3 weeks old, I sold Jack and some sad but good news is that Therby has gone to live on a farm where he will be acting in plays! I am so glad that he has a forever home and will not end up as someone's hamburger. Instead he is being spoiled by many people, acting and then grazing the rest of the time with his new friends! You can view the website where he is at, at snowcampdrama.com. It was sad to sell some of my animals but I still have a plenty and right now with all the ones I have it just seems like there is harmony.
I have made some more soap and we have been using it also, seems to be pretty good stuff. Now that it is looking like Pearl is going to have more kids and BaBa is working of weening I have hardly no milk at the moment but I will soon.
I finally finished my new shelter and it was a job to set beams, by myself when it was a blazing 90 plus degrees outside. Just after the roof was on a thunder storm came up with a down pour and I could not wait to see all the pains of my labor as they all ran to it! Well it didn't work out that way, as the rain poured and I watched from the window inside the house....there they were all grazing in the rain. I was thinking "Please just one of you get under it" but no luck that time. I am happy to say it is used often now for rain and shade. Now all that is left is closing it in and covering the red part with siding once I find a timber person who will fool with me because I have such a small order.
Just before roof was put on
Outside the farm I have taken up kayaking which I love! I have always loved rivers and floating down one is just so peaceful. I took Alston this week down the Dan River and he too loves it! We are ready to go back! I am in search for another Old Town Otter boat but not had any luck so since my birthday is just around the corner I think I will just buy me a new one and Alston can use the one that I have. They, to me are the best boats ever.
