Some Farm Pics

Jack loves hanging out with the sheep. Often goes out and sleeps with them on colder nights.

This is Brownie, a super cool goat. She has two kids.Feeding time in the chicken coop.

Here are the lovely "Naked Neck" chickens. Sort of a strange breed but they are pretty cool.We stuck golf balls in all the nesting boxes. Supposedly keeps the chickens laying there. So far, so good. Except one chicken is trying really hard to hatch one.

The kittens the kids found in one of the sheds... now part of the clan.

The cover crop before we disc it in.

The layout of the high tunnels for cold weather production.

Tunnels going up...

So we had a little accident. We have microbursts now and then in Idaho and a 20' x 50' greenhouse high tunnel took flight down the highway. This happened the day after it was finished. It bent or broke just about every member and tore up the cover. We had "temporarily" staked it down... not good enough.

And here is the farm maintenance crew...

Has anyone seen the chicken?

Scene of the crime....

GUILTY!

Sweet Rodeo

Backpacking

Too tired to make it to bed.

Free Time

What do you get when you have 2 boys with free time, a bunch of canning jars and a few stuffed animals??????
Yep, protein for our food storage just increased by about 15 jars! Oh my.... I laughed hard at this when I saw this arrangement on my table. The boys played for HOURS with these guys. Too funny!

Pet Rocks

The boys had fun making Pet Rocks with David Hale. David is a good friend of the boys. He is a miracle boy who is actually 10 years old (although you might guess he is Max's age by his size), and is a living marvel to the many doctors who have worked with him. We love him!
This is Justin's pet rock holding a cell phone. He made another that was a peacock, duck, and turkey combo. It was cool looking too. Max's is a space ship you can see in the previous picture. So fun to see the imagination of these boys come out!
