Burgess Order is In

The rest of our trees came in last week. Alex was able to plant them on Sunday. So for now, our fruit/nut orchard is complete. We do still have room for more, if we want to add to it later. He also tilled up the garden I'm working on in the driveway circle.

We've been working on getting our island ready for the kitchen. We bought a small cabinet we found on sale at the end of summer, and its been in the garage. We bought a nice piece of wood to use for the counter top and Alex stained it this weekend as well. (Alex did all the work on the farm this weekend because I had to work.) All that is left is attaching the counter top and painting it once we get it in the house.

I did some gardening on Friday and Monday. Today its a little wet and rainy. I dug up the weeds in the garden and planted my daylillies. I can't wait til they pop up. All my lillies from last year popped up and have already multiplied! I need to get some bushes for the driveway circle garden.
We also finally updated our mailbox, so I will have to do some landscaping up there to make it extra pretty.

Just enjoying a quiet, rainy day today. :)

Pond in Progress

Sunday we worked on the pond. We've got this big dip in the back of our property that we're working on clearing out to make it. Last summer Alex and his friends cut this enormous tree down. At the time we didn't have a way to get it out of there. We got the big pieces out of the hole, using the tractor and our scoop. We were able to load them up the hill and then rolled the logs up a ramp into the back of the truck. It was exhausting.

This is the pond after moving the big logs. Its hard to capture the dip here.

These were the biggest logs we've moved yet!

Big D Piglets

On March 28, Big D had her piglets. She had 7 this time. I think there are at least 3 girls. They are solid black, but some have her pink nose.

This past Sunday was beautiful outside. I tried to take pictures of all our pigs enjoying it. I'm working on getting good shots of the piglets.

 Perry and Drake seemed to be having some bonding time while the mommas were feeding their babies.

 The pinks were laying in the sun a lot, but they wouldn't let me get a picture of that.

 Everyone is up and about.

 Wils loves the sun.

Della enjoying the grass.
