Just the Beginning

For those of you that don't know it's my first year gardening and I got a little crazy buying stuff to plant .... these potatoes were all harvested from one hill and I have 64 hills!!! So I will probably be selling them at Hughes Auto very soon!

Hot Pussy.....Cats!

The kittens at the farm love to hide in my engine. So far I think they've jumped out before I start my car, but if not maybe that's why my engine fan is turning on my check engine light and needs replaced....hmmm

Coons in the Barn

A little background information- Abby and Lammy live in a room in our barn where the ceiling is open which allows you to get from one side to the other without going outside. This is also where I keep their square bales and grain.
For those of you that have lived in the country, you know, this is the perfect recipe for raccoons. They were eating the grain which isn't cheap and pooping everywhere by the square bales.
First the neighbors let me borrow a small trap, after being out smarted by the coons for two nights I got ahold of my friend Levi. He told me that I was trying to use a squirrel trap! He let me borrow his trap that is actually made for raccoons. I have been setting it and everytime I set it I catch a coon!
I'm pretty sure I caught the momma first and TeJay "took it to the farm." The last three times have been little babies :) they are so cute!! We live by a state park so I drove 6 miles away and let them go in their new home. It was a really good feeling to give them a second chance. I'm almost positive that is the last of them but I'm still going to set the trap for the rest if the week.

Yummy!

Produce out of my garden!! So delicious ...so far I am able to eat it as its ready but probably not for long!

Kitty!

Jellybean is so funny! She lays and walks across the tops of the couches. We call her kitty sometimes lol

This little tomato is from my garden! It is the first thing this year out of the garden and the first vegetable I've ever grown! However, there will be MANY more tomatoes this year!  is about the size of a piece of gum lol cute :-)

Calves Only Club: No Moms Allowed

TeJay and I weaned the calves today. It was a lot less difficult than I thought it would be! The cows have been mooing a little but the calves don't care so far. They are excited for their new pen- new water tank and GREEN grass!!! Lets just hope they don't realize they miss their mommies when we go to bed tonight!
