Update














On Sunday I cleaned out my chicken coop. It took me a few hours to get it all cleaned. It was all worth it because it looks so much better now. Remember the grain feeder my Dad took out of the sheep barn this spring...well we put that in the chicken coop to use as new nesting boxes.

Next Wednesday I will be a proud new owner of a CVM ram lamb. I am so excited!! I have been thinking about all the things that have to get done before he comes. We have the spot where Sully and Max will be staying almost done. We still have to put up a few boards so it's extra sturdy so he won't be able to ram his way through to try and get to the girls, or the hay for that matter.

The Girls and Sully have been able to go out to the BIG pasture behind their barn. At first they didn't like going out there unless one of us walked out there with them but now they will walk out there by themselves. I went out to get some pictures of them in the big field. I love seeing the grass blow in the wind like waves at the beach. There was this one deer that was very curious. It kept getting closer and closer.

Update

Its a rainy day today, so I thought I would post some things that have been going on here at the farm. Where to start...well on Monday I worked on getting my barn cleaned up. We are working on getting it ready for when our ram lamb comes. We are going on Saturday to see and pick out a ram lamb. I am REALLY excited for that.

Last week I lost one of my mallard drakes. We think it might have been a hawk that got him. So after several days of waiting to see if he came back, we decided to get Montgomery a girlfriend. We got a Black East Indie duck from one of our friends (Thanks Amy). We named her Mimzey. Montgomery is not quite sure how to act around a girl. I will post some pictures of Mimzey in a few days.
