Don't forget the gun

Tori and her friend Michaela asked Rod if they could go hunting on Wednesday since they were out of school.  So Tuesday night Rod and Tori walked back for him to show her where the deer stand was located.  Then he got all his hunting clothes ready for her.  Michaela spent the night and they set the alarm for about 5:00.  I woke up to find them both getting all camo'd up.  Of course I wanted a picture of them and made them pose on the porch.  Then as I am going back to bed, they tell me bye and start to leave.  That is when I had to say "do you even have the gun"...... giggling girls came back, picked up the gun, and headed out the door.  I went back to bed and told Rod I don't think the deer have too much to worry about today!

Pig Heater

Last night it was COLD outside.  When we get in the mid 20's I really start worrying about the animals.  The goats were all in their fence and huddled together in their house, the horses are fine at this temp, the chickens are all together in the coop and were fine, and the outside dogs were in the garage.  This only leaves the pigs.  The pigs don't like the cold.  A few months ago they moved in under the front porch.

This morning I got up early and was worrying about the pigs.  Our dryer vent is located under the porch where they have made their bed.  So when I woke up this morning I went into the laundry room and turned on the dryer to get them some heat.  When Rod woke up, he asked me "what is that noise"... the dryer sounds funny when it is running empty... my response "the pig heater".
