Great!

Good luck. New grow5h means easy going now through Summer.

Hey guys! Wow it has been like a year since I've been in here. I've missed a lot. We have been so busy getting our farm started. We got chicks 2 months after moving in, and then my brother surprised our 5 yo with 4 ducklings a week after we got the chicks. He just brought them to her birthday party. NO WARNING. I could have strangled him right then and there. So we were thrown into duck farming. Building a chicken coop and duck coop were a top priority. Getting our garden going was next. We finally were able to start enlarging our sulcatas' yards. Now we are putting up fencing to prepare for dairy goats. We love our farming life but my husband wishes he could have a day off occasionally. Oh, and we now have a gosling. His incubator buddies didn't hatch. We are waiting for another goose from our local feed store so he will have a friend. Goose Willis is getting all the attention right now. We also have a family of Canadian geese that love our yard. They hiss at us a lot. I did start a farming page on facebook and instagram if any of you want to follow, Creeping Acres Farm. Our projects this weekend, fill-in the torts' cool hides with dirt. Then plant my cactus in one and do tortoise forage seeds in the other. We need to do more goat fencing and build a compost bin. Our other one is too small for the amount of composting we need to do. The hardest thing we have done, growing food. We are awful at it. Our soil is terrible. We keep buying more dirt to raise it up to help with drainage and to have better soil. We still don't have enough. We have a lot of our yard that holds water. It really limited tortoise yard placement. The pond grows very quickly in a Louisiana down pour too. I think I'm done rattling on and on. Can't wait to get caught up with everyone.

His name is Gary haha from spongebob
My step daughter turned 13 on the 18th and her requests were all sponge bob related! I even had her cookie cake done in the colors. She asked for a pair of shoes that one looks like sponge bob and the other looks like Patrick. I bought them and my husband said they were the ugliest things he’d ever seen ??? SHE LOVED THEM!

Good evenooning all.

Great excitement here as we have just spotted our first frog in our new pond. (It was filled with water on 4 April)
View attachment 295845

It’s a European Common Frog :)
Yay!! How exciting!! I have always ( in my ignorance) called all water frogs bull frogs. I have a gold one that’s living in Pickles water hole and my brother informed me over the weekend that it was a Leopard frog.. looks similar to yours ;-)

It appears that I have 3-4 kits. 3 for sure.. the 4th could be the mother. I was able to get pretty close today ( withought my camera) and feed them. They were very curious and it looked like they were trying to play hide n seek with me.. it’s seems that they come out to play around 5pm if all is quiet.. 022F1D5B-63EE-4E4F-BFE1-3CACF25CD141.jpeg
