So glad everyone made it safely. You’ve accomplished so much getting to your new home with the trailer and vehicles. Just take things a day at a time. Once you get a little rest you’ll be feeling better. Take care.

Thank you. I'll recover eventually. It just takes a lot longer than when I was in my prime. The important thing is that everyone made it here and all of the time crunch stuff got done before their deadlines.

Yay! Welcome to the Show-Me state! "It just takes a lot longer than when I was in my prime." I hear you on that one. Once you get the necessities unpacked you can take your time on the rest of it. I'm looking forward to hearing about how the piggies adapt to their new home.

"He probably didn't even realize that he was traveling." Funny.

Mr. Bubbles got his first taste of Missouri grass. Didn't take him long to eat his fill. I think there's a bit of cool comfort there for him to lay in as well.

I'm assuming it's a different kind of grass from what they had before? It looks lush.

It's actually a mixture of grasses. There's even some hay in there that spilled over from the pasture over the years. We just don't let it get to full height.

This is the pasture. It is about 4 and a half of the 8.7 acres we bought. It was let go for quite a while before I bought it. Going to take some time and TLC to get it back in shape.

I hope there are no dreaded weeds. Some weeds are very prickly and can cause injury. But what a lovely opportunity!

That's just beautiful. I lived in Hawaii for a short time right after college and I really missed the Missouri countryside.

I've already had it brush hogged down. I'll have to get it sprayed for the weeds and it will be out of commission for a whole season. When it comes back, it will be in really good shape. I can have a 100 foot square section cleared and plant Timothy grass. That's a year out though. In the meantime, I've found a local farm store that has 50 lb bales of Timothy hay for them.
