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 watching the lambs play together, laughter is good for the soul!
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
