Since my last post, I have started back to work and have been much more tired. There has not been much happening around the farm, and I have been sleeping once I arrive home from my job. Our garden did not fare well with the raccoons this year! All of our sweet corn and Indian corn and most of our cantaloupes were stolen by the masked little guys. I did not enjoy the heat and gave up picking the cucumbers and green beans. We had too many for me to keep up with! Thankfully, my mother-in-law was a huge help in getting all of the pumpkins, mini pumpkins, and gourds picked. The garden fences have been put away and the fall items have been put on display on our backporch. It was amazing to see how many gourds and mini pumpkins we were able to grow from just one seed packet each. Next year I am excited to build a much bigger and better fence and just plant the fall decor items. Okay, so it maybe just be KC working doing the building and the planting since the new little one will not be very old! We are down to 4 cows and three are to be sold as soon as we can get them loaded. New guys and gals will be making there way to the farm in the weeks ahead. I will have to do some thinking for names!
On the baby front, we have found out we are having a boy in February. Everything is going very well. I feel him moving around a lot, and KC got to feel him kick for the first time yesterday. We are also finally getting a tractor. This is something I am sure this little boy will enjoy in the years to come while living on the farm. Now if I could just convince KC that baby needs some goats, pigs, a donkey, and a llama....
