A King Is Born!

The weather was really nice today. I have been "under the weather" for about a week. Me and both boys have had this head and chest cold thing. It made it nearly impossible to lay down and breath. I have been sleeping sitting up for the last 5-6 days. Nyle is back to almost 100% and Owen and me we are at like 95%. It was touch and go there for a little while as to whether or not I was taking Owen to the E.R. But he was pretty tuff with his cold.
So now we are all better. Just before I got sick, I went and loaded a big load of horse manure on the Chevy. It was a decent sized load. But I took sick before I could get it shoveled off and it sit in the garage for about a week. But today Nyle and I got it shoveled off the truck. Well, I did most of the shoveling. As it turns out, Nyle was a king, and so shoveling horse manure was not in his list of kingly things to doo.
Check out the video below of Nyle stating his kingly presence. He made this statement without any in put from me. HE simply stated it the first time and I asked if we could get his statement on video, and the king kindly obliged his lowly subjects request. Check it out...
So I guess as you can see Nyle is a king!

We got our raised beds filled up and got some of the good stuff out on our Black Berries and Raspberry bushes too. I hope they grow tall and sweet. They did pretty good last year on this diet. Here is a shot of the thrown together raised beds I put together out of scrounged, scrap lumber.

Note the king has his glasses on. We out down some news paper first and then filled up the box. I  don't know yet what I am going to plant there, but it will be something to eat. The king wants garlic to be planted there. I mentioned to him the he did not like garlic. He retorted that he did in did like garlic,,, garlic bread!
So I may lant some garlic  for the king.
 we also have some more chicky chicks. I got 9 Barred Plymouth Rock. I really like the looks of them, and so far I have not had one die. But that can still easily happen.
 Gurddy the goat is doing well. She is eating more, and getting big! Maybe she has 2 babies in there, I hope.
Well I will update more as more happens, and this time of year a lot is happening on the farm.
That's the news for today. Peace.
