It IS cute...maybe they come in a vegetarian variety?

Congrats on the beans!

Nothing like a full freezer for the coming winter!

Nothing better than that! We'll have a pig and a half or so, probably 20 chickens, 3 turkeys, and hopefully a deer. It will last much longer than winter lol!

I just wish the garden was more productive so I would have a ton of veggies in there too. I have a ton of beans and plenty of zucchini, at least! Need to buy some corn to get in there too.

You can grate the zucchini and freeze it in 2 cup packages. Then you can make zucchini bread even in the winter! It's great for breakfast.

Yep that's what I did with it!

I have been cleaning all day. And doing laundry. And I gave the dogs baths (they are SO mad at me right now!)... Boring!

I've sort of slacked off on pursuing the sheep our friends are selling. Since we decided to keep the pig, I'm not so sure I want to add on something else right now (particularly something else to breed and manage). Unless they give me a really good price (like close to free!), I will probably hold off.

Today is gorgeous, it's about 68 and breezy. Fall weather! Yes!

How awesome is that!?! Just a little jealous.

Sounds like a good decision on the sheep...unless they're practically free!

Just saw our friend who took a hen to be buddies with his lonely hen. He said she's doing great, laying every day and follows his other hen around the yard. I do love calm chicken breeds. He said no fighting or anything.

Yeah I think the pig may have won the pig/sheep battle lol. My husband really likes pigs and he might not be interested in more hooves to trim.

Yay Pig!
