Busy Bees

Happy Saturday afternoon.

We have had a productive day today. We attended The Best of the West Auction. There were lambs and piglets. We did not purchase anything. The girls purchased their lambs last weekend at another auction.

The pigglets are so cute. I love their little rumps. They run around the pens fighting and tossling with each other. I had forgotten how much I enjoy having them around until we walked in and I saw them. It is instantly "Oh I want one NOW."It is not reasonable, in fact I think I am a bit nuts. Why would anyone in their right mind want to have pigs?Can not explain it, guess its one of those ya gotta be there moments in life.

The girls helped a classmate with bidding for a pigglet. She got the one we would of purchased if we were in the market. Apparently she did not think it out all that well, because she brought the piglet home in the front of her car, in her lap. I am guessing she will learn exactly what pig poop smells like everytime she gets into her car for the rest of her life.Pig poop smells and does not go away. It is moments like that are priceless. I just love being involved with FFA and 4 H.

We have made arrangements to purchase with a local breeder.* hi Liz* It is nice to have connections and friendships. It makes life a bit less stressful for everyone. The girls will pick out their pigs and bring them home around the first of April. We are all anxious about getting them home.Then the work really starts.

The lambs now have names, Haleys is Mary and Mackenzies is Sweetpea.They went on their first walk today up the Ag hill. To be a bit more accurate, the sisters yanked them up the hill. It was a successfull walk. We also checked out the Salamanders that live behind the Ag building. Creepy little creatures they are. Spring time is upon us with out a doubt. The frogs were singing their songs. We really are lucky to live where we do. It is such a peaceful, pretty place.

Well, dinner is waiting to be cooked and laundry is screaming to be washed.

Thanks for stopping by!
