I Love Spring
Good Things
Lots of exciting things happening today at Cacia Farms! We accepted an offer on our house, this means I don’t have to wake up every morning and coral kitties. Tomorrow we have the inspection on the future bigger home of Cacia Farms. We will also have an opportunity to take pictures of the house as well as look more closely at the pastures. Lastly, Ewestace was joined today by another bottle lamb whose mother didn’t want her. My husband got…
Joy
Its official we put our house up for sale today. It is exciting, stressful and bittersweet all at once. We are very happy to look forward to moving to our new farm that is about 50 minutes east of where we are now. I will have 22 beautiful acres to farm with my dogs, and most exciting for me move my horse home. I can’t quite express in words all the emotions running through me but the strongest is defiantly…
Farmer’s Bucket list
As my husband and I have been looking for a farm we have been discussing what each of us wants the farm to be. I have realized that I have many big dreams and quite a lot of things to do before I die. My friends sheep had lambs this week and I agreed to watch a bottle lamb, this has been something I have always wanted to do. This made me realize that I have many things on my…
Ram Lamb
My friend Amanda’s Ewes have started lambing, I had agreed to help her with any bottle lambs she had this year. I was in the middle of making a very cute fabric basket when Amanda called saying she had a bottle lamb for me. I headed out to the farm to find a very cute and very hungry little black ram lamb. The lamb is set up in my sewing room in a tub with shavings and I put this…
Putting Away
We have all had those days when we don’t want to cook or we aren’t feeling well. I try to cook enormous amounts of food that freezes or cans well when I can: chicken, turkey, burgers, chicken stock, chili and anything else I can preserve well. This makes my life profoundly easier when I may not be feeling well or just don’t want to cook. Today I made pulled pork for dinner and will freeze the rest in dinner size…
Catching up after days off…
I had a wonderful week off with my husband! We looked at properties, went fishing and just hung out together. I had my first lesson of the year with Ace this morning, for being off all winter we both did really nicely and worked well as a team. Ace even trotted over the tarp like it was no big deal at all. That horse never ceases to amaze me at the things he does. I am looking forward to quite…
All done!
Downtime
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…
Sheep Camp
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!
