So today I took 2 baby pot-bellied pigs out to the barn.  Up until this morning they were living in my bathtub, being bottle-fed until last week and I have slowly been weaning them off of the bottle.  They are currently eating 3 or 4 times a day...milk and scraps, but mostly oatmeal or bread...they love that!!!  I had to move them to the barn because they are really starting to smell.  They like taking a bath, however, I really needed to get them outside so that they didn't forget that they were pigs. 

Today, I also moved some of my lillies and basil.  I am hoping to build a new chicken coop and then turn my current chicken coop into a potting shed.  I can't wait.  I have so much stuff that I would like to do outside, but really have nowhere to do it. 

I also worked on cleaning out the barn.  There's a lot of poop and hay to get cleaned up after the winter.  I got a small section done.  I have to take breaks from all of that shoveling.  I also cleaned out the shelterhouse and worked on cleaning out my flowerbeds.  Got the yard picked up a little bit and fixed one of my chimes that got broken over the winter.

Spring is a wonderful time of year and I look forward to it so very much, but it is also a great deal of work.  I have 3, maybe 4, field trips scheduled for the Farm already this year.  I'm  looking forward to them, but just have a lot of stuff to do.
