So sorry this blog has gone dark for some time now. We don't have much of an excuse except that things are busy as always, oh, and we had a baby! Isla Hope joined us on January 19th and has brought so much joy to our lives! But you readers have missed out on so many things! So, here is the reader's digest version of life on the farm for the last, oh, 10 months or so!
Thanks to Gretchen for taking these great pictures!
We grazed the sheep until it was too snowy to graze the sheep,
Then we let them come on into the barn yard,
Silas & Jay moved up into the hayloft,
The pigs moved inside too
as did the chickens
the sheep got shorn
and made friends with the turkeys
Then we all just settled in for the long, cold, snowy winter.
and then, the babies came!
First, Isla Hope
and then the lambs
Quadruplets even!
And next, the piglets!
And now, things are starting to green up, and spring is finally arriving! The turkeys got shipped off into the back woods to live as turkeys do, and we hope to have some baby turkeys in a few weeks!
And most recently, we were given two bull Holstein calves that we plan to raise up for. . .well we aren't sure yet! Veal, baby beef, beef or perhaps as a team of oxen. In the mean time though, the sheep aren't thrilled about their new roommate!
So, it's been a busy few months but we hope to be able to keep you all more in the loop from now on!
Think Spring Everybody!
