Hehehehe....this will be short....but I just giggled the whole way in from the barn. I just got a snuggle (on my arm) from my pig! Hahaha... It felt really weird! I went out to give them water, and my cute little..but getting much bigger....pig stopped drinking and rubbed her snout all over my arm as though to say 'thank you!' What a good pig! Ok...that is it. I just had to tell someone, so I told you, my blogger friends!
:) :) :) :) :)
So, until next time....eat more chicken, and go get snuggles from your pig! It's funny!

Knocking Down the Chicken House!
Hello Blogger friends! Wow...two blogs within two weeks....the juices must be flowing! Well, actually, not really, but I had to write about my escapades today. And just so you know, as I am writing this, I am sitting in chicken poop dust-crusted clothes...waiting for the next truck to come. So imagine the smell that goes with this. Too bad I can't incorporate smells into the blog....or, maybe that's a good thing!
It is day two of me running the skid loader. Only today did not go quite as smoothly. We were in the other chicken house today..and the feeders and water lines are lower than in the other house. I was being so careful, but still trying to show a little more confidence than the last time. Now really....it was my second time, not my first...I should know what I am doing, right? Well, I did do good until Rod had to direct me to the other side of the poop. He put a feeder up in one spot and then in another...for me to go through to get to where I was supposed to be. He said to be careful not to run the bucket into the wall. I was very careful. I did not hit the wall. So feeling even more confident, I went to make the second turn back in towards the middle. I was watching the feeders, and not hitting a single one. Then..BUMP! I looked down and the bucket hit a pole!! Oh, no! Oh, my! And Rod watching this the whole time!! Oh, no! Oh, my! And I didn't just bump it a little...nope...I knocked it out!! OH, NO! OH, MY! I watched the pole fall down...toward me...and just watched...not thinking it could have hit me. Nope, that was not my worry at all! I was more concerned about the roof above Rod! So I looked at him. And he looked at me. And he smiled! Yep, he smiled at me and said it was ok, he had done that before too. Here I was waiting for the roof to sag or cave or do something, and he just smiled at me, picked the pole up and put it back.
Needless to say, after that, I was back to a lot less confidence...going forward and backward much more slowly. I was flustered and jittered (I know that isn't really a word, but again...I like it, and I am using it!) I was so happy when we were done with those piles.
So, now, I have to go out to do it again....push poop I mean, not knock any more polls! I hope we all survive! hahahahaha No, really, say a prayer!!!!!
So, until next time...if I make it through for a next time.....eat more chicken!

A New Job
Hello, my blogger friends! Yep...you guessed it...a new job for me... pushing chicken poop! I LEARNED TO DRIVE A SKID LOADER TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a picture...
Here's a picture...
Now..remember...this is BEFORE we started to actually work. I was clean and I didn't have my mask on yet. Yes, I did wear a mask just like my friend Marjorie told me to!
I was so excited to learn to drive the skid loader today that I did not sleep well last night, and also, I had to go to the bathroom at least THREE times before I even had to go out to the chicken houses..which was at six this morning! THREE times! I usually only go three times from morning until afternoon on a normal day. Then when I got out there, I wished I had gone again....I was excited and nervous about how I would do. Rod does things in a particular way, and I did not want to disappoint him. I also went another three times after the first truck was loaded, while we were waiting for the truck to come back for the second load! Not that you all needed to know that...just trying to make a point on how my nerves were handling this new adventure!
So, like I said...I never drove one of these before.(I did sit in one once when no one was looking though...just for the fun of it and to satisfy my curiosity.) Rod even had to show me how to turn it on. He said that once in the chicken house, I would have to rev it up faster...I just kept it on turtle speed outside...(see how big and brave I am? hahaha) I was having fun outside..that wasn't too hard. Rod said to practice lifting the bucket up and down and dumping it. I thought it was just for fun, but I found out later that I should have practiced that quite a few more times! I had to actually do that in the chicken house...with a low roof above me! And in the chicken house, we had to put the skid loader up closer to rabbit speed...no more turtle!
I will say, Rod was very patient...and encouraging. I didn't break any lights! or break any feeders or break any waterlines! And I don't think I knocked any poles! I did however keep getting the controls mixed up...like putting the bucket up and down and dumping. I put the bucket down too far sometimes that it actually lifted the skid loader up. I thought that was kind of fun after I realized what I was doing. Also....I am not sure about my feelings of running over a pile of poop while going backwards and feeling like the skid loader was tipping over! I was glad when I got back far enough off the poop pile to be back level again. Afterwards I laughed, but not during!
Here are some things I learned today.....
1. Skid loaders are not the easiest thing to get into if you have short legs..like I do.
2. Water and food do not taste as good after pushing chicken poop until you brush your teeth...even if you do wear a mask.
3. When your husband says practice putting the loader's bucket up and down...he doesn't mean for your enjoyment..there is another reason...like you are going to have to know how to do it!
4. You will look like you have been drinking afterwards, because your eyes burn a bit from the dust and manure.
5. Get a cute hat. I want a pink one maybe. When I washed my hair...well, lets just say it was pretty gross. I washed it twice! Your hair will still get dirty with a hat, but I think it would be better. (I did however remember to wear my chicken earrings...I mean really, how many opportunities do you have to wear chicken earrings?!?)
6. I LOVED driving the skid loader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I am not very good at it, but it was so fun!
Here is what I looked like afterwards.....
Nice and dirty and VERY stinky!!! The truck had an air hose thing that we used to blow off some of the dust...that helped quite a bit!
Rod said we loaded 48 tons of chicken poop!! WooHoo for us! Oh, and by the way...you can see my chicken earrings in these two pictures! :) I know the pictures aren't very good ones, but really....who looks good after cleaning up chicken manure?!?
So, until next time...or my next adventure....EAT MORE CHICKEN!!!

Out, Down, Off and In!
Well, here it May, and I have so much to catch you all up on. Like Rod and I have hit our sixth month anniversary!! WooHoo!! Congratulations to me! :) :) :) hahaha We are still working on first year quirks, but I am absolutely loving being married to him! And I LOVE being a farmer's wife! (Especially since he really doesn't make me go out and pick up dead chickens much at all!)
But I have two exciting events that happened to me yesterday...and they both have to do with living on a farm...well, at least one does, and the other one does for me...I will explain that later. But the first and most exciting news.....I have waited 45 years to have a farm animal, and after last night, I have finally got one of my childhood dreams....we got FIVE little piglets!!!!!! I always wanted farm animals, and actually, I wanted a cow, but I am quite happy with PIGS!! The piglets like to snuggle you...it is so sweet! Well, one was not impressed with snuggling, but the other two I held were.
Here are my (our)piglets.....

Here are my (our)piglets.....
Aren't they so cute!!! But they do stink right now....but still so lovable! I will get pictures later of them up and about, but I couldn't disturb them this morning...they were sleeping so cutely (if that is a word?!?!...if not, it should be! so I am using it!)
Now, my next exciting farm news, and sorry, I don't have any pictures of this, but....wait for it....I mowed the yard with a riding mower!!!! I know...exciting, right?! Well, it is for me...and its a mower with the blade thing on the front. So, its not even just a little mower. Let me tell you...I am not too good at it though. There are quite a few spots I see today that I missed. But I did most of the yard before it started to down pour, so I was happy with that.
Growing up, my dad mowed....and sometimes, yes even us kids pushed the push mower, but I never got to drive a mower (to actually mow, I mean. I did drive a mower from JMS to the mower fix-it shop, but that wasn't mowing, and I never had to put it in reverse!) . Now I must tell you, mowing was fun!!!!! I loved going up and down the little bumps in our yard...watching the grass fly out the one side. To see the difference in the areas that were cut and the areas that weren't...so satisfying. To know that I was saving my husband a lot of work and time....priceless! I think I could enjoy this job...maybe not as much when it is 90+ degrees out, but still, not a bad job at all!
Well, lastly...it rained quite heavily in our area last night. The school kids even had a two hour delay for flooding! So, I am going to stop this post here and go help my parents who had water in their basement. I am very glad to have the day off so that I am available to help them....again a priceless feeling knowing I can do something for the two people in my life who have done the most for me!
So, until I can get back on my computer to write some more posts....EAT MORE CHICKEN! Hey, which reminds me of something...yesterday here on the farm, we had chickens going out, rain coming down, grass cutting off, and pigs coming in! What excitement living on the farm!!! hahahah :) :) :)

I AM BACK!
Sorry all my Blog friends that it has been so long, but I was having trouble with my computer (desk computer, not my mini ipad) and I hate typing on my ipad for posts...so I just didn't write a post. But now that my computer should be good, I will be writing a new post shortly. I know...you are all so happy about that, right? hahahaha Well, I am...so, until I can sit and type, this will have to be it for now. Love you all!
Until then, EAT MORE CHICKEN!
Until then, EAT MORE CHICKEN!

Who Knows?!?! :)
Well, good evening, my Blog Friends! Let me say right from the start...it is getting late, I have had 3 sodas, and I have no idea what I am going to write about tonight. I am just winging it......hahahaha...that in itself is funny coming from a "chicken" farmer's wife...winging it...chicken...hahahaha! Ok...so, as I was saying...I apologize in advance for how this post may turn out!
By the way, if you really need to know what it takes to get me to this mood that I am in....just some soda and chocolate. And just so you know, I have had both within the last hour! :D :D :D :D
Ok...first on my mind. I need to let you all know since writing my last post, I have been given a pair of bib overalls!! When I get a chance I will get a picture taken of me in them and post it. But it has been too cold here to be outside without a coat, and I want my picture taken by the barn. I mean, that really is the appropriate place for it to be taken. Thanks, Pat, for the bibs! Love them! I also was offered help to start a garden, and told about a boat for sale. Yep...pretty cool to have readers helping me with my wants. It was not the kind of boat I wanted, and I really don't plan to buy a boat, but I thought it was really cool that someone thought about telling me about it. Love you, my blog friends! As for the garden...it may be this year...it may not be, but I am still going to check out my friend's garden...I love gardens. I want to grow green beans, sugar peas, radishes, little tomatoes, and I am not sure what else. Then I want to have flowers around them because my neighbor does that to her garden and it is absolutely beautiful! However...no one has offered me an elephant. Too bad.
I asked my son what I should write about. He said potatoes...hahaha...yep, that's my boy. So, as most mothers try to keep their kids happy....I am going to give you some trivia about potatoes. (and to make sure I give credit to where credit is due....I found this info on the Northern Plains Potato website....http://www.nppga.org/consumers/funfacts.php). Check it out...lots more trivia there! But here is some that I liked.....
1. The world's only Potato Museum is located in Washington, D.C. (Why not Idaho?)
2. The first potato chip queen was crowned in 1946...she has a court of five members. (What do you think they do?)
3. During the 18th century, potatoes were served as a dessert...hot and salted, in a napkin. (I am all for desserts!)
4. Thomas Jefferson gets the credit for introducing french fries to America when he served them at a White House dinner. (I don't have any comments for this one..sorry...well...I guess I could say, "thank you!" I love french fries!)
5. Vincent Van Gogh painted 4 still-life canvases devoted entirely to the potato. (He must have loved potatoes. But potatoes aren't even pretty...why would you paint a picture of them, let alone 4!?!?)
Ok...thanks to Stephen, I have educated you a little bit, perhaps, on potatoes.
New subject...life on the chicken farm. I absolutely love living here. But tonight is one of those nights that I feel bad for my husband. He is still out at the chicken houses. He had chickens going out tonight, so he has to wait for the catchers to leave. Then he has to go around and put all the equipment down again. And for those of you who were non-chicken farmer raised...the equipment is the feeders and the water lines, and I think there is something else, but since I haven't done this yet, I have forgotten what it is. I will ask Rod again and get back to you on that one. I also know he has to still walk through parts of the chicken house because he didn't have time to before the catchers came. Needles to say..it is going to be a late night for him. So, instead of going to bed without him, you all get a new blog from me!
Oh, guess what! I am excited for this. Since I now live on a farm, and have a huge yard, and a husband who can drive a tractor, I am going to be having an egg hunt for a bunch of little kids here!! WooHoo!!! I am so excited. We are going to have a hunt and then also a hay ride--that's the part where Rod comes in...hehehe. (ok...I cheated...I am copying a friend of mine who did this at her parent's farm many years ago...but she said she didn't care that I copied her...Thanks, Tammy!!!) We had such a blast that year, and my kids still remember that day...so I want to make a bunch of kids happy like they did. I have had two people give me plastic eggs already...but I want to fill A LOT of eggs so that each kid can find a lot...and they all go home feeling like the world's best egg hunters!! So, if anyone wants to get rid of their plastic eggs, please let me know!
Old subject...my other house....tomorrow Rod and I are going to go haul more junk out. I am finding this harder than I thought. It is one thing to throw things out that were no good, but to be throwing things out that used to be good but are now ruined from soot is just sad. Please say a prayer for my sentimental (almost to the point of hoarding) heart....I know this is for the best in the long run, but that doesn't make it easier. I just keep saying to myself...this is material things...I won't be taking any of it to Heaven with me anyway.
I am anxious for Spring here on the farm. I can't wait to plant flowers, to go for walks, let my little kids play outside, clean up from the winter mess and dirt, and possibly get some PIGS!!! I am hoping and hoping it works out to get the pigs. Got any good pig names? Little piglets are so cute...and can you just imagine how excited my little kids will get with little pigs! Can you imagine how excited I will get with little pigs???
Right now, everything is muddy. I am not much for mud. Unless of course, you are having sliding practice. I always loved sliding practice for softball. In high school, we practiced several times in the mud, and at least once in the gym with a blanket, but in college we practiced in the snow. I enjoyed that too. Here's another tidbit about me that deals with mud. I mud wrestled once, and absolutely loved it!! It was when I was at Camp Bethel in Wise, VA. The mud was a greenish-brown...kind of gross, but I was thrilled that I got to be the girl from our team to do it. (no one else on my team wanted to...too bad for them, sweet for me!) And I won. Something I am quite proud of. hahaha Those were great days and great memories. I love Camp Bethel!
Hmmm...after reading this last paragraph again, I think maybe I do like mud...to play in, but not as a housewife or babysitter who has to clean everything up from it or who can't take the kids outside because of it. Ok...like everything else, mud has good points and bad points. Mud is from now on going to be labeled neutral...not good or bad...just mud.
This blog is getting a little long...and my mind is scattering in every direction...so in order for me to keep you thinking I am somewhat sane...I will stop here. So, until next time my blog friends, EAT MORE CHICKENS! :)

Wants
Hmmm...so here it is almost the end of February! Can you believe it?!?! I am itching for Spring and the beautiful green grass and all the pretty flowers and the light/ or no jacket weather. I just love not being in winter! I sat here thinking tonight...."Andrea, you have many wants!" and I guess I do. So I thought I might list a few.....but before I do, I don't want you to think I am being ungrateful for what I have....nope...I am very happy with what I have. I love living here on the farm with my husband. I have a full (and pretty round...hahahaha) belly, clothes on my back, a warm house to sleep. We are all healthy. God has greatly blessed us. Still I, like anyone else I know, have some wants....so here they are...( and I am not going into world peace or such stuff...this is material stuff...and just for fun, so please don't get on my case about it....IT IS JUST FOR FUN!!)
1. A real farm animal....I don't mean the chickens we raise...I mean like a cow, pig, horse, goat, sheep...etc. if I really had my choice, it would be a cow...I love cows. But Rod said they eat too much, and you have to milk them twice everyday...too much added work. But I want a farm animal that is mine. :)
2. Bib overalls....I know I would look funny in them, but I really don't care. I look kind of goofy in my blog profile picture, but I posted that for the world to see. Do you really think I would care what others thought about me in bib overalls? However, I am not sure they make them for short round females. The only ones I ever saw were mens...and they are too long, or girls that are tiny, or kids. Someday I will find them at Goodwill and I will wear them proudly!! I may even have to change my profile picture!
3. To learn to drive a tractor. Rod just kind of laughs when I say this, so I may need someone else to teach me. :) Wouldn't that be a surprise to Rod if he came home some night and saw me driving a tractor! hahahaha...that makes me laugh just thinking about it.
4. A tractor...if I am going to learn to drive one, don't you think I should have one of my own? I saw people square dancing tractors once...maybe I could get good enough to do that someday! For now, I would be happy just to drive one in a straight line!
5. A truck...again one of my own. I have driven Rod's twice now...and it is FUN! Although, I would like a little smaller of one. That would really be fun to take to yard sales...boy oh boy I could load that thing up!
6. A boat....I love to go tubing. Not a pleasant sight to see me bouncing up and down on the water...but it sure is fun!
7. A miniature collie....I love them...and they are so pretty and so smart.
8. A garden....and someone to teach me how to make it a good one. I don't really know the rules of planting a garden...I just know I have to keep ahead of the weeds. That is what a friend told me who has a beautiful garden every year. I want to plant green beans and let them on the stalk a little long so the seeds inside get a little brown...that's how I remember my aunts green beans when she cooked them....I loved them!
9. A laptop computer. I know this doesn't seem to go with the rest, but its still what I want. Then I could take it up to my parents house and show them all sorts of friends and families pictures and stuff on it. Also, I could take it outside, sit under a tree and just enjoy the life on a farm feeling.
10. I can't think of anything else I want right now....so I will put something really crazy....how about an elephant? Wouldn't it be fun to say....do you want to see my elephant? hahahaha and people would be like, "WHAT?" hehehehe that would be so much fun. And I could ride it all over or give other people rides on it. Now, after having an elephant, a cow would not seem to eat too much! hahahaha Maybe I should have asked for an elephant before I asked for a cow!
Ok....so tonight was a night of funny wants. Here is the last one....I want you to EAT MORE CHICKEN!! hahaha Good night, my blog friends! I need to get to bed before I crack myself up too much! :)
1. A real farm animal....I don't mean the chickens we raise...I mean like a cow, pig, horse, goat, sheep...etc. if I really had my choice, it would be a cow...I love cows. But Rod said they eat too much, and you have to milk them twice everyday...too much added work. But I want a farm animal that is mine. :)

Do you really think I would care what others thought about me in bib overalls? However, I am not sure they make them for short round females. The only ones I ever saw were mens...and they are too long, or girls that are tiny, or kids. Someday I will find them at Goodwill and I will wear them proudly!! I may even have to change my profile picture!
3. To learn to drive a tractor. Rod just kind of laughs when I say this, so I may need someone else to teach me. :) Wouldn't that be a surprise to Rod if he came home some night and saw me driving a tractor! hahahaha...that makes me laugh just thinking about it.
4. A tractor...if I am going to learn to drive one, don't you think I should have one of my own? I saw people square dancing tractors once...maybe I could get good enough to do that someday! For now, I would be happy just to drive one in a straight line!
5. A truck...again one of my own. I have driven Rod's twice now...and it is FUN! Although, I would like a little smaller of one. That would really be fun to take to yard sales...boy oh boy I could load that thing up!
6. A boat....I love to go tubing. Not a pleasant sight to see me bouncing up and down on the water...but it sure is fun!
7. A miniature collie....I love them...and they are so pretty and so smart.
8. A garden....and someone to teach me how to make it a good one. I don't really know the rules of planting a garden...I just know I have to keep ahead of the weeds. That is what a friend told me who has a beautiful garden every year. I want to plant green beans and let them on the stalk a little long so the seeds inside get a little brown...that's how I remember my aunts green beans when she cooked them....I loved them!
9. A laptop computer. I know this doesn't seem to go with the rest, but its still what I want. Then I could take it up to my parents house and show them all sorts of friends and families pictures and stuff on it. Also, I could take it outside, sit under a tree and just enjoy the life on a farm feeling.
10. I can't think of anything else I want right now....so I will put something really crazy....how about an elephant? Wouldn't it be fun to say....do you want to see my elephant? hahahaha and people would be like, "WHAT?" hehehehe that would be so much fun. And I could ride it all over or give other people rides on it. Now, after having an elephant, a cow would not seem to eat too much! hahahaha Maybe I should have asked for an elephant before I asked for a cow!
Ok....so tonight was a night of funny wants. Here is the last one....I want you to EAT MORE CHICKEN!! hahaha Good night, my blog friends! I need to get to bed before I crack myself up too much! :)
