Entered a new Instructables' competition, this one called "Bacon Contest".

Seeds are sprouting all over the place, even ones we didn't plant.

We have a new addition to the family, a Border Collie puppy called Sam. He's calm, happy, loves the kids and learns super fast. Should fit in just fine.

Down by the river, the grass and weeds are already super tall. Once a week, we've been cutting it for the animals.

The construction side of this project is comprised of a barn, water tank, pens and pasture. All of these elements will make the home for the working example of Food Web.
