Grandsons
Kai, Aksel and Ruby
So lambing hell week had a major offset. We had Kai, our oldest grandboy, Aksel, his brother, and Ruby, their sweet baby cousin girl, out over that weekend (this very last weekend hardly qualified as a weekend, Dirt worked for the school for both days, last Monday being a holiday on top of that, and … Continue reading
Pre-Lambing Sheep Care
Sunday – CD/T day. With a little worming on the side. A little trickery with the grain bucket and an unmarked ewe is caught up. Then each one in turn is given a sub-q injection (just under the skin usually at the flap of skin near the arm pit) of the CD/T vaccine, guarding the ewe and her offspring … Continue reading
Nice Surprises
Instead of duck soup we dined at the Bowerman Mansion last evening when we took Bennet in to hitch a ride north. It was a delightful evening and so nice to not have to cook or dine alone, not that I don’t love quiet family meals, but every once in a while it is nice … Continue reading

Ice Is Nice
Frozen weather meant that early Tuesday the girls went out and skated on the deepest pond on the farm. At one-ish when Steph (with the skates over her shoulder) brought the boys out to skate the moms decided that the deep pond was a little too scary. So we opted for the pasture pond on … Continue reading
