On this cold, sunny, crisp, winter day, Farmer J (with the assistance of his trusted sidekick Luke- and Luke's SUV) took Ace back to his home farm. Luckily for me, I was back home visiting friends and family with the boys so I got an early Christmas present (in the form of not having to help wrestle a small ram into a mini-van and transport him back to his farm (and then drive back to our farm) with two small children.) Thank you, Santa!
Hopefully, Beatrix and Aoife are with lamb! As we patiently wait for spring, longer days of sunlight and warmer temperatures, we will also be anticipating the sight of growing, swollen Ewe bellies. Spring will be extra exciting this year!
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
