Showing Off

For a weekend that we were hoping would finally be rainy, we instead had a beautiful two days full of sunshine and hot weather.  If we did not need the rain so badly, this would have been wonderful.  It did mean that we had no excuse not to get outside today and check some more farm chores off our list.

After all the work on the gardens yesterday, we suspected that our animals might be feeling a bit neglected.  So today we focused on them.  We mucked out everyone's barns (there are a lot of them right now! SIX!) - ducks, chickens, pigs, chicks, sheep, and goats.  We laid down fresh straw or wood shavings for new bedding.  We cleaned out the nest boxes and filled up the mineral feeders.  We even washed out the water and feed buckets.

Inspired by my virtual garden tour yesterday and with everyone looking their best by the end of today, the boys decided it was high time for them to take you on a virtual tour of our farm.  We opted against a live video just in case (you can never be quite sure what they will say on camera) but they actually did a really good job.

And so, (not) live from Gael Glen Farm, I present your tour guides - Liam and Seamus...
