Things have been a bit busy here lately, and I can’t seem to take the time to sit down and post.  I don’t know how people post every day.  I sort of have to be “in the mood”. But, it has been TOO long, so here goes.. Read the rest of this entry »

Who’d have thought, after that mild winter we just had, that we’d be dealing with snow, wild wind gusts of 48 mph, and a wind chill of 16 degrees!!! In May!!!!!  But that is what’s currently happening… Read the rest of this entry »

Here we are, only 9 days till Christmas. Do you have your shopping done? I DON’T. And neither do the sheep. Well, I take that back. Madison and Lydia are “cooking” something in their ovens and will present their gifts in the spring. The others also will give their WOOLY gifts to us in the form of fleeces in the spring as well.

IMG_2899I have been very busy lately so haven’t posted anything. My husband says my blog is “stale”. I guess in blog talk that means I haven’t posted anything lately and people will lose interest.

It is very cold here right now–6 degrees!!! In weather like this the old chickens suffer the most. Since Eric and Ondra won’t let us eat anyone, our place has turned into an unofficial chicken sanctuary and old chicken’s home. Read the rest of this entry »

We have snow. About 3 inches, and it’s not melting. This could be IT, the start of the rest of winter. We may not see the dirt till March. We should have done this before (but were TOO lazy); picking up all the “stuff” laying around, like rakes, poop shovels, cages, sledge hammer, bikes and others too numorous to count. Now it will be a mad scramble. We don’t want to have something vitally needed (like wallets, credit cards-haha), buried, till spring. Read the rest of this entry »

Today is the second time we started the day being greeted by a fresh blanket of snow. This time, however, it was accompanied with fog all day and general wetness outside. No sun today at all, no sky today at all, just fog. Guess that’s what happens when the clouds move into your neighborhood!
