I don't even know where to begin..

So much has happened since the last time I blogged.  This will teach me to not wait so long.  I will try to get everything in so I may ramble a bit.  Fall is here and I love the weather!  I have snapped of few pics around the farm and wanted to share them.

I think this is my favorite picture of the farm so far!

We planted 8 apples trees so in 4-5 years we should get some apples!  I hate waiting that long.  Right now we have 1 tree and I am happy to say I canned some applesauce.  It was my first canning experience ever and it wasn't that bad.  I am getting excited and hope to can some salsa later.  I have tons of tomatoes that I froze from the garden so salsa here I come. I have to be careful because I can't make it too hot!

So I started out with all these apples.  I thought I was going to have applesauce coming out of my ears!


But, this was all they made!

I decided I wanted a flower bed against the house and wanted to fill it with bulbs so Sunday, that is what I worked on.  I hope they all bloom in the spring.  I also plan to plant a rose bush under each window.

I raked out all the weeds and put down the landscape fabric.  Now you can see the finished product!

I put in Hyacinth, Tulips and Daffodils.  Planning on some lillies also.

After working on the flower bed  I couldn't wait for a nice relaxing evening!  However, it didn't go as planned.  When Ryan and I tried to bring Big Mama in to eat for the evening, she didn't want to come inside and just wanted to lay in the nest she made in the pasture.  OMG  I thought, it's time or at least pretty close to time.  We finally coaxed her inside and she ate.  We came inside and I planned to go out every hour or two to check on her.  After my shower I went out to check and there were 2 piglets in the pen!!!!  I called Ryan and he came right out.  Did i mention Mark was out of town!  Big Mama did well, she actually had 10 piglets but the last one was stillborn.  We have 3 girls and 6 boys.  Ryan and I spent the night in the barn to make sure everyone made it through the night!  Mark came home the next day.  We still have all 9 piglets, they still seem to be doing well!

They are all so cute but, piglets don't like to be held! 

This is how Ryan and I slept Sunday night.  Well, should I say how Ryan slept, I didn't get much sleep!

That is all for now.  I will continue to update on our piglets!
