Day 116

 

 1. Enjoying the sunrise as Tyler and I went to Toastmasters. I did a Table topic and asked everyone to share how they or their family came to live in Oregon. 
2. Transporting piggies from the car to their new pen. A empty trashcan on wheels works well.
3. They're quite happy in their new pig mobile. 
4. Later in the afternoon, Jacob and Panther.
5. Jacob's use of the phone camera....
6. Also, we had Jacob's HELP to go to, friends over for the afternoon, and Ladies Fellowship at our house in the evening. Five "events" in one day. Whew!

Day 14

1, Snow. More like cotton falling down from the sky.

2. Oh. My. Goodness. The piggies are getting so big. Today they got moved onto fresh pasture. I'd been waiting to move the sheep to a different pasture so I could move the electric fencing. You can see the pasture behind them has been thoroughly turned into mud. Which is good, because hopefully that means death to all of the thistle plants!

3. What else? Worked on Herbert (yes, little bits of progress there), caught up on emails and phone calls. Rather wasted the afternoon (in a good way), but redeemed it by a) failing to get dinner on the table in time and b) cleaning the shopping white board and organizing a dresser. Also, thankful that Scott bought stuff for dinner on Wednesday that we could use for dinner today. And fresh salsa.

Also, hoping to get caught up on blogging sometime this week. If your friend with me on FB, you'll know that the last half of December was kuh-ray-zee. 

Day 290

1. The piggies enjoying their new home for the winter. They'll have access to different parts of pasture that need renovating from the barn. I'm not sure why I chose to move them at night. We ended with a truce. I used folding tables to block of the entrance to the yard and they agreed  not to go under the fence until the morning.

2. I've finally found a way that I like oatmeal. We eat oatmeal quite a bit here now that we do more family breakfasts, but, I would say it is about my least favorite thing to eat. I've never liked smooshy or bland things. However, I digress, my favorite way to eat oatmeal is with a dried fruit, a nut, and coconut. Above is pictured cranberry, raisins, walnuts and almonds. It was delish.
