I am SO excited for Spring! I'm really hoping we will have lambs by March, but I am expecting lambs by April. The sooner, the better for me, but 3 months isn't very long to wait. We will probably have 2 ewes lamb this year, but who knows if our other ewe is pregnant! Not me. Anyway, right now it is Winter, and the ewes are busy making lambs, and the baby goats are just being... well, noisy, but sweet, baby goats. So, I will just be posting a few pictures to get everyone entertained. First, it is a pic of me about 2 years ago, with one of our first chickens we ever raised sitting on my shoulder. I remember exactly what happened. I was sitting next to the horse trough (where the chickens were kept at that time), just watching the chickens be chickens, when one jumped up and started sitting on the edge of it. I put my arm out, and that chicken just walked up my arm and onto my shoulder! Finally, after it sitting there for a few minutes, my arm was getting tired, and my dad just happened to walk in the shop and see me. I think I told him to get mom to take a picture of me, so he did. We have a couple of them, but I liked this one. This certainly proves that I tend to like animals. Whether their eyes are on the side of their heads, or on the front of their faces. :)
This is where Caroline and I (Grace) like to write about things that will be done, have been done, or are being done on the farm. Enjoy!
Stories from the kids.
