we also are starting to plan a trip into seattle this novemeber or so >< gonna see mour dad nd mour sister nd hang out with lots of friends...... iz am reallys so excited about it. iz love them so much >//<

look at umz actually writing in mour journal again..... :) lets see here . the second weekend of that show went much better than the first :) iz was getting very comfortable up on the stage and iz think iz did very well with it >< got couple of compliments from folk after the show when iz didnt actually have anyone coming to see umz the second weekend which was gratifying . and then ummmm iz crashed really hard for a while ...! theatre is pretty exhausting >< ehehe.....

nd then iz have since was having quite the farm troubles for a while..... there was a raccoon getting several of our birdies over several days and every security attempt iz was taking failed through >< critter ultimately was dealt with but we lost enough of our flock to now be brooding some new girlies upstairs.. and they are sooooo cute so its . okay >< . iz have grown somewhat accustomed to farm living in the past couple of years and do not feel the need to dwell much on them at this point. living and learning and always doing what iz can. awwaawwaawrrr...

most recently iz have been enjoying the summers time when its not too hot out . plumper is doing well!! >< we probably will not be eating him anymore. wifeguy convinced umz hehe >< and so now probably we will start looking for a sow for sale on craiglist in the next couple of months and let plumpernickel be a stud boy instead of meat boy >< lucky him.... he really is such a sweetheart and takes a petting like a champ so iz cant be too mad about it . we also got a hammock that is nice to lay in and mour wife and iz went to a berry picking and had really lovely brunch and saw a fun show this past weekend.... iz have been slowly reading through books that mour dad has been sending umz...... there is enough swirlings in mour brain that reading does not come quite intuitively to umz these days... but iz doing mour best with that . generally am trying to do mour best with things >< . mya .

WE ALSO GOT A PIGGIE A FEW WEEKS AGO.......... his name is lil plumpernickel and he is soooooooo cuties.... lil kune kune boy..... verys likely we will be eating this boy next year but til then iz am going to give him the best time give him lots of treats n he has sooooo much yardspace to forage and snuff around....... happies guy.... we also got our bees replaces after they absconded last winter >< hehe..... got them set up in a better spot with more protection on the hive and it should go lots better this year!!!!... things are very lush, iz love spring time...... and iz love all of mour loved ones and iz am taking as much care of mourself as iz am able.......... mya.....
