New Recipe and Combine Shopping!

I just put a new recipe on the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/papaweaver).  It's a new recipe that Mom made the other night for dinner that was absolutely delicious!  It was a pork tenderloin that she cut up, fried, and then made a sauce with blueberries to go on it.  I'm not the biggest blueberry fan, but I thought it was amazing! 
Dad and I have been pretty busy this week, but the most exciting thing that we did yesterday was go look at a combine that is going to be for sale next week!  Dad's afraid that it might be a little out of our price range, but it's going to be at an auction in Fauquier County next Saturday.  It was much newer and bigger than the one that we had previously, and I really liked it.  Dad was also looking at a manure spreader that he thinks might go in his price range, and I want a wagon that I can use to carry people in for my pumpkin patch. 
Everything just keeps getting greener and growing on the farm.  All of our wheat and barley is growing.  We had one field of wheat that got planted late, and it just came up this week!  Everything else has been out of the ground for over a month, and we thought that that field just wasn't going to come up.  Even the wheat that got planted on the same day in a different strip in the same field was up!  It was pretty strange, but at least it is up and growing now!  I guess it just needed those warm temperatures last weekend to give it the final kick that it needed to pop up!
Since it's supposed to be around 80 degrees today, I went down to the barn and have all the doors wide open to get some fresh air in for the baby pigs.  They certaintly seemed to appreciate it!  This afternoon I have to go back down and move two sows to our farrowing room that are supposed to have babies this weekend!  I don't think they will though, I imagine it's going to be the first of next week before they actually do!
