Spring Break

Today is Wednesday and it's the middle of JJ's first spring break...and he has the flu!  Poor guy! I anticipated that this would happen due to a recent flu virus that is being shared amongst friends, family and strangers alike.

The rest of us are healthy and we have been getting lots of things done around the farm and in the farmhouse.  Today, I did massive spring cleaning in the kitchen.  J has been working on getting the barn ready for the goats and kittens.  My dad helped Farmer J get the beehive up and ready as 3 lbs of bees will be mailed to us later this month.  Below are some pictures of the newly created hive!

 Here is the hive.  The window is made from plexi-glass so we can watch the bees at work! 

 Above is another view of the plexi-glass window. 

When you take off the top to the hive. There are wooden slats (see the six above) that the bees will attach their honeycomb (and therefore honey) to! 

I'll leave you with some more pictures of our baby goats and maybe one of our future barn kittens!  These pictures are from JJ and my first trip to see them and Pickle and J's second time!

 Mama milk!

 Just born kitten!  Eyes not even open yet! I love that baby kitten 'meow'.

 Shake your boom boom! That is for Miss Carly!

 Here is Ciaran! "Little dark one"

 Here is me and Ciaran.  He was giving me love!  

Here is Farmer J and Patrick!
