Hummingbirds!
Seems like there are usually more than one bird wanting access to the feeder. So while one is eating, one is waiting on the fence below, and one is hovering just a foot away. I don't know why they can only eat one at a time.
I left my camera sitting by the sink and John managed to get some pretty good pictures. He even got a movie! You can see this little guy keep coming back and see the bubbles as he eats.

Tim's New Place!

He's also got a detached garage with automatic opener. At the back of the garage there is a storage/tool room. There is also a locking shed for his lawnmower. This house he has to mow his own lawn!
Here's the living room
And the dining room
And as you can see the office needs some work :-)
Once we got all the furniture moved and in the new place, the guys proceeded to set up a puppy yard so it would be ready for the new pup.
After all the work was done, we barbequed some chicken and sliced zuccini on the grill, threw together a salad and served it all up with some big fat yeast rolls. YUM!
Shortly after that we headed home and left the rest of the mess for Tim.

Saturday Chores
First comes farm chores. I am the milker on the weekend, and right now we are milking Pansy and Tulip. With the new gate arrangement, the milkers are already in the barn, where they've been all night. So I no longer have to fight all the goats to get the milkers in the stall. Cats follow me as a walk to the barn, meowing all the way. They know they get the milk from stripping the goats and they love it.
Check the food and water for the cats and dogs. Feed all the goats, because everyone gets grain and hay in the morning. Feed the chickens and check their water. Look at the garden - no sign of tomatoes turning, but once they start, I will be blanching, freezing, canning, etc. I have Jalepeno peppers almost ready, so this year I will be canning salsa too! Whoops, put cilantro on the shopping list!
Later on in the morning John and I went to check out an auction we'd heard about. Over in Germanton one of the big, really old houses and contents were being auctioned off. Gigantic house. Six bedrooms, two baths, two front parlors, two kitchens, dining room, numerous outbuildings. Sometimes it's fun to go to these because you can walk all through the houses. Once in a while you get lucky. I got a bow front oak dresser for John at an auction for a sweet deal, AND it was already stripped and ready for stain.
Always something to do on the farm!
Just for fun, here are some pictures from July 4th. We had ourselves a little barbeque and lit off some sparklers.

New Website Has Launched
Hello Everyone!
I've been working on a new home page for Papa John's Farm. See it at http://www.papajohnsfarm.com. There are more pictures, music, but all the same content is there to start with. This website may not be as sophisticated as Andy's, but it's easier for me to edit and add pictures quickly.
CHECK IT OUT!
