Sorry if you where wondering why I did’int do the post on Monday I changed the date because it was hard to get the picture’s all in one day so any ways have a great weekend:).This week we moved the sheep to the back of a rental farm and who new that the grass was so green over there. I have a new bottle lamb i named him Johnathan Toews the reason why he is a bottle lamb is because when his mom was giving birth she had a prolapse.

This week I am interviewing my little sister Emma here is her interview:

Question #1 Why did you start the business of laying hens?

“The reason back then was because I did not have a business and I really wanted one so I decided to do chickens.”

Question #2 Why do you think the little egg in the picture bellow is so small compared to the normal sized egg?

“Maybe the chicken thought that it’s egg was ready to lay but it was still too small to come out.” (Emma is just 7 years old and this is her third year in business.)

Question #3 Do you like farming?

“Well it’s a bit hard to explain but I do like it and don’t like to farm.”

Question #4 Do you like your brother?

“Of course I like you Jake because you make me laugh when your funny and because you are my brother.”

This week I learned a lot about spiders like the Trapdoor spider, the Black Widow, the Jumping spider and the Tarantula.

The Trapdoor Spider. The Trapdoor Spider does not make a web because in it’s name says Trapdoor Spider because it makes it’s home underground and makes trapdoors and when a insect walks beside the door it will get in position and then strike.

The Black Widow. The Black Widow spider is like any other spider it makes webs but the reason why it is one of the most popular spiders is because of how dangerous and it’s cool color pattern.

The Jumping Spider. The Jumping Spider use’s it’s back legs to jump to attack it’s pray. Also it has red eyes to help see better so it can get it’s pray the Jumping Spider’s jumps are very accurate.

The Tarantula. The Tarantula is not poisonous it is venomous. Poison actually is accidentally injected in to you body by accident like the poison dart frog the only reason why people say it’s poisonous it’s just like some liquid from inside their body that mikes with the water.

That is what i learned this week you can always reach me at jakelewie10@gmail.com

This week I learned about observing mosquitoes, flies and dragon flies.

Did you now mosquitoes are the most dangerous animal in the world.

Dragon flies are the most fast insect in the world.

Did you now flies can carry disease so swat them of your food ASAP because they leave juice that could give illnesses.

I learned about bees and something really cool about bees is that there larva swim in honey until they become a pupa. Did you now that the Japanese honey bees kill their enemy’s by heating them over the temperature they can stand.

I learned about termites. The Termites worst enemy is the ants. Did you the queen Termite can reach up to one feat long and also get so big that they can’t take care of themselves. Termites can do a lot of damage

This week we finally moved the cows to pasture, the flerd went to the biggest and the most rocky paddock. This week as one of my assignments was to make a shed for Patrick Kane, well really it was my idea to do that but I have one wall done so far. This weekend I’m going to do my baby siting course and my sisters are in a mini star competition at school (my sisters go to school but not me I’m home schooled).

we just moved the flerd to the closest paddock if your wondering what a flerd is it is a mix of sheep, goats and some bottle calves. Not all calves need to be bottle fed it’s just for the ones that go whit the flerd. We also have a guard dog and a pony to protect the flerd from predators like bears and coyotes. By the way kid means baby goat.

And here is this weeks photo album.
