Marge is the champion


There are at least 13 live piglets. No dead ones discovered as of yet, and there is quite a crowd around the teats, so there could be 14:

Go Marge!

Love them midgets (turkeys)



Momma turkey just hatched 13 more babies (in addition to the two chickens hatched last week). Boy those little white ladies make some babies. I bet if the magpies would quit stealing eggs, our two hens would have reared 40 or more chicks this year.

Tragedy

Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Marlyn Jondle when she came to buy LBH from me. I did not get a chance to build a deep relationship, but I looked forward to seeing where the farm went.

I just found out that Marilyn and her Husband (David (Scott), whom I never had the pleasure of meeting) were recently murdered. I am heartbroken.

My prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.
