He has also been able to experience a little bit of the farm. While we were on vacation in the Smoky's this little guy was born. I think he was overdue as his mother looked enormous and miserable and he came out with horns started and bigger than his two week old cousin. He is timid though and we haven't been able to lay our hands on him.
Chicks hatched a couple of days ago, and J-1 also had to experience the death of an animal. A couple of the chicks died. J-1 is a sensitive kid and he had to walk away from us for a while. He is very attached to Kelly and the cats. There is one kitten still alive from the litter of 5 and he is a sweet little darling. We all love holding him.
We have collected tomatoes and cucumbers while J-1 has been here, as well as apples, pears, and blueberries. He watched me can pears a few nights ago and said his grandmother does something like that.
I think his favorite part though is when the kids all go outside to feed. He has been known to come and ask me if it is time for the animals' meal, and then he gets #1 and #2 to go feed. He was upset one night when I said that the goats wouldn't be fed that night. They had plenty of pear peelings and didn't need any grain.
They also like apple cores.
Faye was the winner.--------
We started some school work today. The bad part was that it also meant I had to start grading school work. Sigh.
