Life is crazy, but wonderful!
A couple sows at the pig barn up the road had babies when they weren't supposed to. Markus (one of the hired hands) gave us a few of the piglets to try to raise, but they all ended up dying. They were so tiny, so weak and helpless... It was so sad! 😢
Sam and Abi have been halter breaking Gus. He's gotten pretty tame!
Our cats are quite spoiled. 😋
Abi was able to get Talitha's hide from the butcher. She salted it well, boxed it up and sent it to a tannery in Florida. It'll be interesting to see it in about six months.
So true.
KK and Dawse took a rest after helping Abi in the barn. 😆
The cats have a fixation about walking with muddy paws over newly cleaned vehicles...
It snowed one Friday awhile back. Abi and I cleaned Zooks that day. The Grant/Elliot road was really bad so we ended up taking gravel all the way home. Even the gravel was scary sometimes!
We cleaned a new house last week. It was pretty gross as the owner is a smoker and they hadn't cleaned for a long time! The stove was covered in built up grease in some places. You can see where I had cleaned already.
All done! I had to scrub the knobs with hot water and soap. They had layers and layers of old, gunky grease on them. 😝
Mom and I have been saving for a Shark Lift-Away vacuum. I found a nearly new one on Craigslist, so we went to look at it. It was really nice, so we bought it! We got it for about $50 less than what they go for brand new. Now we can clean our wood floors without stirring up tons of dust!
The sunset one evening...
Whenever we make molasses cookies, we always save some for Ben. 😉
We had a chicken massacre one night... Something got in and killed 21 of Abi's chickens. Almost all of them were laying hens that were gotten last fall. They were almost ready to start laying. 😩 The picture shows the culprit's tracks in the snow.
The survivors...
Abi and KK left one dead chicken in the coop to see if the murderer would come back. Sure enough, when they went out the next morning, a mink was there feasting on the carcass.
The bad guy got his due reward!
My view while cleaning last Saturday. 😂
Abi bleached the barn in preparation for a new cow. Hopefully her new one won't get Staph A!
Abi defrosted one of our freezers the other day.
I know, this is conceited, but...
Gus during another training session.
Thanks for the laugh, Annetta! 😂
Josh helped Abi animal proof the chicken coop.
Zooks hosted their 12 year old birthday party for Nathan on Sunday. His birthday was in November, but due to the extremely busy couple of months everyone has had they had to keep putting it off.
Joseph's silly face
Doughy had to eat his broccoli before he could eat his chips. Uncle Joshie helped him get it down.
We played foursquare later that evening.
The march of the iPhones...
You shouldn't leave your phone laying around in this crowd...
Alaina is so precious!
The boys thought this would be funny...
The Case of the Headless Saints
Mom and I clean for an elderly lady who is a devout Catholic. She has statues and pictures of saints all over her house. These two particular saints have seen better days... And, no, I didn't break them!
The sky was gorgeous the other day! You can tell that spring is right around the corner with how the sky has been looking and how the air smells. Ah... I can't wait!
