We have had an exciting last month and a half. Our little bundle arrived on schedule and everyone is healthy and happy. We are settling in to our new routine, which as you can guess, revolve around a certain little girl's every wish and demand. This has left little time for farm chores, but we hope to take advantage of our maternity/paternity leave to get some fencing and other projects done.
We need to get another pasture and pig house ready because the piglets are past ready to be weaned and poor Natasha is ready for a break and some recovery time. Every time I start to feel sorry for myself with my demanding little one, I see her six very demanding and quite large piglets who practically overtake her to nurse! They are eating grain well and are large enough to keep each other warm through the winter. Now we just have to trick Natasha into going into the next pasture without any of them following her. That will be a feat! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic start to the New Year!
