Happy Easter...or is it Christmas again?

Easter morning we woke to more snow and it certainly felt much more like Christmas. We eventually got to Church after a long slippery drive then went to The Phillips for Easter brunch followed by the famous Easter egg hunt for all ages. Needless to say we've eaten too much chocolate and are now sitting feeling very full indeed.

When David, Isaac and Harriet went to fetch Mr Pig last week they came home with 6 Australorp day old chicks to add to our animal farm. 

David finished his truck cap in time to fetch the pig. Until his papers come through we don't know if he's called Ben or Beppe yet so he's still known as pig or Mr Pig. The shed he is going to live in got  sides and a roof on just before the snow started last night but it still needs finishing touches like a door and fence round.

This photo is so dark because it was taken about 10pm when we were trying to coax him out of the truck where he was very happy.

I was asked how many animals we had by a friend last week and got a bit of a shock when I started counting up! 1 dog+ 5 pigs+ 32 rabbits+18 chickens+6 chicks+7 guinea pigs=69 

plus 12 duck eggs hatching in 2 weeks and a pregnant guinea pig due anytime! Life is never dull anyway.
