Wilberta

     Since the last time I posted, we have been busy. Bacon accidentally stepped on two of her babies. One piglet had her foot stepped on, so we sprayed iodine on it and put her back. The other one was much worse. The skin on almost his whole side was ripped off and hanging there. It turned out that me and my daddy sewed him up. Now he has a lot of stitches! Since it's October, we named him Frankenpiggy, or Frank for short. This morning he was doing excellent and looks as if he's gonna survive.
     The first piglet I was talking about also happened to be the runt. She was not getting any bigger and seemed to be struggling to do easy things so we took her out and now we are bottle feeding her. Her foot is not doing well (the skin is falling off the leg). We are hoping it will get better. Mom named her Wilberta after Wilbur from Charlotte's Web.

     She's a little dirty 'cause she'd just been fed.
     Our chicks are doing very well also. Their flight feathers and tail feathers are growing in.

Persimmon season

Once again, the persimmons are ripe. Once again, we have to pick, peel, and dry. There weren't that many persimmons this year. I think it's because we pruned the trees (big time) after last season.

The Morning of April 6th

Here are the pictures I took at around 8am.

Macy and I explored the lake bed and found all kinds of stuff like golf balls (see towards the bottom of  my Interesting Finds post) and fish skeletons. There's even grass growing!

I suppose if you don't know how friendly Macy is, you'd find this scary.

Mistletoe

Aflac! He's completely white now. I'll have to take a picture of him and show you.

Ben, Ben, Ben... (shaking head)

I love this picture!

We have figs! We have a lot of blossoms on the Persimmon tree too. We're going to have a big harvest this year.

We had Loquats, too, but we (by then Ben was outside too) and the squirrels ate them all.

While we were eating breakfast we saw a couple Cardinals on a "date".

That's it for that morning.    What's your favorite cereal? Mine's Cinnamon Chex.
