Duncan the Ram

Duncan is getting some afternoon rest!


A rhubarb respite

Fresh rhubarb from the old farm!


J's family recipe.

My culinary sidekick, Pickle!

Fresh eggs from our hens!


Check out those orange yolks.



For the compost pile.

Hot and fresh out of the oven... A spring rhubarb egg custard pie!  We typically have this pie for my birthday. That was two days ago... But we are still celebrating! Pie making with my boy is a nice break from unpacking and will be a lovely treat after dinner.

From the woods to the prairie!

It's a lot more windy at our new place which makes tree climbing more interesting!

JJ's hanging on!

Can you find the boys?


Still moving...in the rain!

Heading back to the new farm from the old farm! Cleaned out barns and mucked out the coop! Filthy. Farmer J calls it "clean dirt!"


Gotta love the mis-matched socks! One is mine and one is JJ's!

The flock at the end of the rainbow

Ram man arrived

Farmer J bought a Tunis ram from a nearby farm.  He's a hunky guy to our ewes. There is lots of smelling of each other's parts. The wee goat boys are not thrilled to have this stud among them!

What's in here?

This big guy!

The ram is the tall, beautifully sheared sheep in the background!







Surprise

My husband just told me that another creature will be delivered to our farm within a half an hour. He then said he had to go out and check the fencing around the pasture. I'm a little worried and a little excited. Any guesses what it is?
