Ducks

We all tricked Dave into saying yes to ducks! I am so glad we did, the kids are having so much fun with them!

The girls were very good at helping plant the corn this year. The goats however were not to happy about us taking some of their space away for planting. Bummer for them, they do such a good job of fertilizing and weed control it just makes for prime planting space!

Following Their Mother

I really like the "QUACK" sound Leah is training them to follow to.

The Fox!!!!!

Long story short.....a fox killed over half our flock of chickens a few weeks ago. Dave and I finally figured out what was getting them after running out into the yard in our underwear at 7:30 am. The coop door opened automatically (as it always does) and there was the damn fox waiting! The hens started screaming and we ran out. Yadda, yadda ,yadda, and now meet Neve( Portuguese for snow)! She is our new flock/livestock guardian. Ok...... not quite yet but I hope to train her to be in the very near future! She is very sweet and super good with the kids. She is three years old and has a bit of separation anxiety from being a rescue dog. Heres to hoping I can help bring out her instincts( full great Pyrenees) and make her the best guardian dog ever!

Piano Practice

So we discovered by accident that recording Leah's piano practice makes her REALLY want to play the songs over and over again. Then she wants to watch herself play them all over and over again. She thinks it's hilarious when she messes up! Finally some mistake enjoyment for the perfectionist. Whatever works right? This is her next recital song. She still has a month or so to practice.
