Things are finally coming together here, fencing is going up and sheep will be coming home very soon! Jeff has been installing the fence for our sheep to live in this week digging post holes and pounding in t-posts. The end of this week we will be bringing home the meat sheep, Ewestace and two other ewe lambs to keep her company. Then this weekend Jeff and I will be going on a road trip to pick up Purdy the…
I was sitting there minding my own business when I saw a giant hand reaching out of the sky to abduct me. My friends and I were running for our lives when I was snatched, snatched I tell you, plucked right from the earth! Luckily (at least for me) I wasn’t alone some of my friends had also been taken. Once caught we were loaded into a transport container, when we were dumped out we all looked up to see…
These will be our future sheep they are Lincoln Long Wools. We are hoping to get 3 ewe lambs and maybe a ram lamb!
Gus and Olive start sheep camp again today at Cherry Hill Training Center. When Jeff fed Gus his breakfast I heard him pronounce to Gus “Eat up you, got to perform well today!” Without even thinking I walked into the room and spoke up for Gus “Dad I don’t perform sheep herding, it’s a way of life.” After Gus and I straightened out Jeff’s line of thought I realized he didn’t say anything to Olive. I have decided this means one…
Last night I made a vat of Chicken Chile Verde, which made enough for dinner as well as to can 8 pints. I love having canned dinners in the fridge for nights that I don’t want to cook. This is a recipe I have never canned before so I won’t post the recipe to can just yet (I want to make sure it does’t kill anyone first ;). Today I went to a knitting class that was delightful. I decided…
We have been busy here with spring time, not only do we have the two bottle lambs but we also brought all the rabbits home this last weekend. I love having my bunnies back home where I can spoil them and love on them. One of our adult breeders Sly got to retire and went to a wonderful pet home. Sly will have other rabbits to be around as well as cats, I am so happy he went to such…
I love my border collie, I even love his incredible ability to learn so quickly (most times). When he was a puppy my husband and I accidentally taught Gus that “Good Boy” meant jump on me and I will pet you. My husband an I have both been sick this weekend meaning less exercise for the nutty herding dogs. I have been on the couch for the last hour or so with Snugglepants our black cat sitting behind me. Gus…
Spent the day with Jeff and the pets. I had a wonderful ride on Ace, Jeff got to go fishing. We ended the day with dinner date night.
It was a beautiful day outside Saturday and Jeff took Gus and Olive to work with him. Sheba spent some time outside laying in the sun, while I finished cleaning the house and opening the windows to air out the house. I planned a wonderful day getting some quilting done and when Jeff got home we had a dinner date night. Spring is almost here I can feel it and I haven’t finished my spring wall hanging! That is what…
We got to try Olive on the sheep and She loved it! I can’t tell you how good for my soul going to the farm is. It makes me so happy to see the sheep and my rabbits. All the bunnies are doing well. Gus and I worked on calmly walking up on the sheep and holding the pressure. Had a wonderful day!
