The Lundy 5

We kept working on the garden. After Josh and Allen found plenty of logs, we made mulch paths so I could stay out of the mud and ticks and still reach all of the garden. Of course we have a ridiculous amount of natural fertilizer always. I thought painted tires would be fun, but Allen didn't like them. So I liked them even more of course. :) We do have to fence it off from the chickens, so we'll still have to use the deer netting, just not for deer since it's inside the goat fence.

We've had LOTS of baby bunnies around here. As soon as they're big enough (4-6 weeks), they go to the bunny room of happiness. It takes just a few days for them to go from ew to cute. :) Then they're so adorable.  And kinda lazy.  They start out so helpless and they're really funny when they roll out of their boxes. 

We took a flippin field trip to the Flippin Fire Dept and the Flippin Police Dept. Yes, I'm sure they're quite tired of the comments. But when a homeschool group said they were going to Flippin, of course we had to take a road trip for that! It was really good and the kids enjoyed it. They learned all about the equipment and how the departments work together.  It was a fun day! 

Catching up on the blog a bit. Apparently we haven't posted much since April!  Lots of animals, working, avoiding the heat, that's about all you missed. :) It was morel mushroom season (aka a few days, so don't miss them!) Walker Kitty was in a weird position, as usual.  We got some more chicks, because according to Allen, one can never have too many. (One can, just fyi.)  Allen wired the barn so we now have light! He also taught Matt about wiring electricity with no explosions, so all is well. 

Walker Kitty slept upright for hours on this hard stick for some reason. Later, she used it as a pillow. Better?  The chicks are settling in.  As is the cat, who we found inside the locked brooder! At least she was good.  Bunny pile.  They like to peek out the cracks.  And sit in their food.  It's still a little stormy, but always pretty.  A slice of Bull Shoals Lake from a neighbor's view.

We went to pick up some new chicks and to visit the goats we had last year. Lily and Lucy were especially happy to see Matt! Annie was a bit wary, but looked happy and healthy. He got hugs from Lucy... And Lily...  And Lily walked leaning right against him. You could tell she was happy.  We happened to see a brand new calf. So cute!  And a goat randomly running up the road on the drive. It happens.  We brought home our first batch of chicks!
