Finally on it's way to the LazyBP Farm.

The resident deer


This is our resident deer that has been seen several times out in our hay field. However, last week we saw her across the road eating the neighbor's soybean plants!

It's Hay Time




We decided that we could get quite a few square bales from our upcoming horse corral (see the pole).











So here is Jerry getting ready to cut -
















The above picture shows the mower down and ready to go and he's off (below)!!





We cut on Sunday, thought the grass would be dry by Monday afternoon, however, it was dewier than we thought and Jerry had to wait until Tuesday to square bale it. Wayne and I loaded it up onto our flatbed and stored 25-60lb bales in the storage barn at the other end of the property. I meant to take a picture of all the squares but forgot, so you will have to use your imagination!!

Gladys and the group


This is what is left of our original chickens (started with 20 and have 5 left laying 3 eggs a day - not too bad); and we have 4 guinea hens after starting with 61 (we let them outside too soon and the owls got them). Both types of hens have a pretty good handle on the bug arena.

Way in the back of the pictures is the hen house - we have another one we will be setting up for the chickens and then more baby guineas will start out in the house out back.

The blue is our pool that we got on clearance from Walmart a couple of weeks ago. We still have another month or so of pool weather!

Molly and the boys



These are the goats we got from a 4-H'er when she was done with her project. Molly is in the back, where the 3 boys chase her. The boys are 3/4 Boer (meat) goats and Molly has both dairy and Boer characteristics. They are working on what's left of the garden.
