First tooth!


Kevin lost his first tooth today!  Hooray!  He is officially a big kid now.  And five dollars richer.   Now we have to schedule a toothday parth with an official toothday cake.  In the shape of a tooth.  And all the other fun stuff that goes along with a toothday party.  Like key lime pie ice cream.  And christmas cookies.


On a farm related note, we are getting our first five sheep tomorrow!  Katahdin hair sheep.  All five are pregnant ewes due in March.   We will also be adding another 4 or 5 ewes on New Years Day if all goes as planned.  We could have as many as 20 lambs in March and April.  Talk about farming...

The new watering troughs are being installed today and tomorrow.  Im worried that they are going to be fine for the cattle but too high for the sheep to reach, no way the lambs can reach into them to drink.  Im going to have to make sure that we have enough room for them to reach in and drink.  When we put in water lines along the fence line, I will be installing permanent water troughs there also that will be short enough for the sheep and chickens to use.  And anyone else for that matter.  Thirsty?  Try the trough.  Its fresh goodness.

Excellent! Julian just lost his first tooth last week. And from the looks of it, the same tooth.
