I just put in an offer for two Saanen goats. My husband is going to think I went off the deep end.

Saanens are white. That can't possibly be the "dark" side! I love my half saanens.

Just tilled the garden and the corn patch.
The guy I'm buying my bees from called last night and said he'd be here in two weeks with my bees
I've finally decided where I'm going to put the pig pen, for this year at least. There is a 200sq foot area beside my garden that I can't get to with the tiller because the dump truck load of compost we bought earlier this year is in the way. I figure it's as good as spot as any to put the pigs, let them do the tilling and be able to expand the garden next year.
My oldest has decided he wants to show a heifer next year in 4H. We picked one out of the herd a couple weeks ago but I need to build a corral next to house to put the mama and baby in so we can start working with the little heifer calf. She is so cute!
I still haven't heard back from the guy with the goats yet. If I don't get these ones it's ok, I've got my eyes on a couple others. It's just the not knowing that drives me crazy.

Well, I learned a lot yesterday. I learned that six week old pigs can run right through cattle panels and I learned that my dog Nelson has a taste for uncured bacon. Luckily both the pig and the dog survived. Nelson heard that the pig's name is Dinner, he just didn't understand that she is MY dinner not his.
Our new pigs! Lunch, Breakfast and Dinner.

Oh! And the guy I'm buying my bees from said he would be here on the 30th!

Look at your garden! Everything's looking great! Seeing breakfast lunch and dinner made me realize I haven't had breakfast yet. Yum.
