Well, I’ve had a very busy few days… actually a very busy few weeks.  Nothing bad, just so much work that I’ve not been able to post lately.  So is the BIG update post of happenings.

The free rangers have taken to all laying their eggs in the barn.  Here is the traffic jam waiting for the nest.

Our kittens are turning into cats.  Here is one of the boys following in mamma’s footsteps.

In case you are wondering if our dog Minnie Mae does anything but laze around…

… not really.

Our turkey hen escaped the other day.  I was worried that I would not be able to catch her. She can fly really well, and ended up WAY up in some trees, and then disappeared.  She was gone half of a Saturday afternoon and the following Sunday.  After some worrying and then some sincere prayer, I caught her on Monday morning.  They boys were happy to see her back and spent some time showing off.

We moved the calf to the front stall and started feeding his milk from a bucket.  The next step will be sweet feed, then moving him to the coral.  He took to bucket feeding very well.

Well, that should catch you up for now.
