Well, Autumn is here and it's time to winterize the farm before it really gets cold.
1. Check the fences in case we have any fallen trees that have gone unnoticed.
2. Stock the shed with hay for the llamas.
3. Plant garlic in the front garden.
4. Check all pipes and maintenance at the old house.
5. Replace the plastic waterers with galvenized for the chickens. The plastic breaks every year when the water starts to freeze.
6. Build some sort of lean to for the piggies. They are in the woods, but the trees only provide so mush shelter.
7. Repot plants and begin to move them from outside to the sunroom.
8. Get all the fluids changed in the tractor and truck.
9. Get those dogs groomed. The hardest task of them all.
10. I feel like I'm forgetting something...
I'd like to get all this done before we have a house full at Thanksgiving. James family will come up from La, TX, mine from NC.
We found new homes for 3 roosters over the weekend. I would like to place one or two more and then get a few more hens. One should have 1 rooster for 10 hens, our population was growing even. No Bueno...
