Abby & Jake (2 of my younger sisters rugrats) love comin down to visit us on the farm & they love uncle Brian takin em for rides :)

All about Ellie Mae...

Ellie Mae is around 2.5 months now... & I just love her too. She is such a sweetie, she likes to snuggle with me sometimes. She really loves to hang out in the barnyard/woods eating leaves, weeds & grass... she eats & eats & eats all day long. She doesn't play as much as Annabel does I think cause she still young... I have noticed lately shes startin to play alittle more.

Heres alittle secret (well it wont be a secret now) but I would to get the girls another playmate around their age & I'm sure I will one of these day ;)

All About Annabel :)

Annabels around 4 months old... I just love her. Shes so funny to watch sometimes, she makes me laugh all the time. She loves to run around the barnyard, in the pen, around the coop & sometimes in one door of the coop & out the other when she gets all excited, lol. She tries to play with Porkchop (our potbelly pig), Porkchop doesnt like that & sometimes will hide under the coop, lol. One day I need to try to get Annabel on video puttin on her show.

She loves me too

Shes a sweet girl

My Muscovies...

All my ducks are doing great, the ducklings (well they arent ducklings anymore, I guess they are teenagers), they turned 3 months on the 12. I've got the 4 down in the barnyard with 2 of my older drakes then I've got 3 a pen with 1 drake & 2 hens... I just started letting them out to free range alittle in the evenings last Thursday when I took these pics. I've had them penned for weeks now because of the garden. My hens had given me some eggs, then stopped layin again, I'm hoping they start back up soon. The duckling Scarlett produced for me this year are turning into beautiful ducks... out of the 7 it looks like I ended up with 1 boy & 6 girls, I'm very happy with that.

I really love this picture of Scarlett

The 1 boy... I think hes beautiful.
