La Vida en la Fincacita

I would love to post an entry about life on the farm--at least I think I would love to post an entry about life on the farm, maybe I would not be so much enchanted by the idea if I actually lived on a farm....I do remember being particularly eager to leave the farm as a teen-ager....  However, the point is a bit moot as I do not currently live on a farm and cannot, therefore, post an entry (not an honest one at any rate) about life on a real farm.   I can, however, write about life on a tiny farm, un fincacita, because we do live on a tiny farm but.....I am not going to do that either.    Instead, I'm posting pictures.   Enough writing.   Done.

Zorro before....

...and after his shave.

Being shaved is NOT a happy thing for Zorro. For some reason he feels shamed. When we finished he lay in the driveway as if dead for a moment or two.

After shearing the sheep, we trimmed their hooves. To trim Big Mama, I put her on the ground and had Grace sit on her neck and hold a front leg. Somehow Big Mama got her back legs under her and started to stand. NOT GOOD. I grabbed her by the flank and twisted back, throwing both her and myself to the ground (asphalt). I have a little road rash but she did not escape. When I got her down, Grace immediately did a belly flop on her; Grace’s entire body was lying on top of Big Mama’s entire body. It was sheep wrestling at its finest and we won!!

Grace is much happier that the pig is here than the pig is.

I looked through the camera lens and what did I see? "Popcorn popping" on the APPLE tree!

Miles took the fincacita (little farm) to school Friday. He proudly taught all the six graders (six separate rotations) about lambs, pigs, and chickens. The squealing pig was the highlight of the show for everyone--except the hog.

Charmed!
