ELeVan ~ Honaker Farm Journal

When I talked to the vet this morning about Boingo's weekend curve he decided to increase his insulin a unit...putting him at 14 units. Hopefully that does it, cause the vet was sure at the beginning of all of this that he would top out at 8 units. Obviously the little guy isn't making any insulin on his own.

T-2 days till broody hatch! Can hardly wait to see what's under Cinni hatch out!

B is working hard on his afternoon assignments. He'll break for a snack at 1:30 and then I think we'll go out and do some detail photography that RTG suggested from his "ugly" pic assignment. He's so excited for these lessons. I really wish we were closer so that he and RTG could put their heads and cameras together and really learn from each other.
He's starting a journal assignment today as well so that we can practice handwriting because he is typical boy there...really sloppy
The crazy kid is laying on his floor right now doing his work. I've done given up on him sitting at his desk in the chair...as long as he gets the work done. We can't wait for next year when we can be a little more liberal in his lessons but right now we want to get the school to reverse their decision to hold him in Kindergarten again next year, so that we start homeschooling in First grade, not redoing Kindergarten.

Gonna have to go out and clean out my coop brooder later so it's ready for the ducks that Cinni is hatching since I'll be pulling them from her. I'm still debating on whether or not to pull guinea keets if they hatch under her... :/

Hi, I'm Blaine (B). Mom made me my own account to take RTG's picture class. She said it's so RTG doesn't get confused cause Mom wants to take pics too. Mom has to help me type though cause I haven't learned that yet. See you in the picture class!

After a discussion with B, we decided that we'd open him an account here so that he'd have an account of his photo lessons with RTG. He'll be hanging out in the Hobbies section, though he does have some opinions on the animal side of things...but that will come later.

This will also give me the opportunity to help him learn to type early on.

And this is the Honaker Farm journal and he's part of that farm DH has an account here too but doesn't post anything.

Hi Blaine, very nice to meet you. We are very happy that you are here with us. I have seen some of your pictures, and you do a very good job. I love to take pictures and I know you will have a very good time and learn a lot from your work with RTG.

Hi Blaine, It is nice to meet you. Great job with your pictures!!!!

Blaine I have to say I am amazed at how good your photography. I can't even get pictures that good! I need to fiddle with my camera more though. I may try to join the photography class soon.

Hi Blaine, nice to meet you. I like to take pictures too! I have lots of animals too. What is your favorite animal?

Well it seems that Dove has finally gotten serious and we are definitely broody this time...setting on the eggs at bedtime and not getting off the nest when I put the food down.

In addition this is the 4th or 5th day in a row that I've had to pull Skeeter out of a nest box in the barn at bedtime sitting on eggs. She won't transfer the setting to the coop nest boxes though and she just cannot set in the barn. Maybe she'll get serious soon too. If you remember, Skeeter is the girl that when she was very young I accidentally stepped on and very nearly culled. She healed up nicely and only occasionally has a limp. She's such a sweet girl.

Blaine, I saw some of your pictures on Facebook. They are really very good. I will be excited to see a lot more of your pictures. In the meantime, have her show you how to post up cool smilies and stuff like that on your account. Don't take no for an answer.
