Remember that
cecropia caterpillar that we found last summer? It finally emerged from its cocoon. We put it out on the elderberry bushes where we originally found him. Hopefully he can find a mate and have many babies. They only live about 2 weeks from coming out of their cocoon and their sole mission is mating and egg laying.
Many more robotics designs and programmings are happening with M's Ev3 set.
New baby A continues to delight us all.
Time for haircuts
The guineas hatched in tandem with baby A's birth. Seven of ten eggs hatched.
Hubby and kids know the routine and got them all set up in the basement brooder while I was at the hospital with baby A.
Everyone helps around this farm. Today is a good example: Brother M is in charge of bringing in and washing the duck eggs. He also picked the strawberries (no hardship there!) and watered the corn. Brother S and Miss L chopped the bananas to load the dehydrator up. (Hubby brought home another bushel from Hornings.) Big sis A held the baby while we spread DE. She and L picked the lettuce and sorrel for our salad. Brother M and Miss L helped me put DE all over and around the tomatoes (combatting aphids). All livestock were fed by the kiddos and hubby evaluated the latest rat trapping/killing formation. We are so lucky to have great helpers.
