The lambs are growing....Berlin is stunning!
A week ago I decided to sell my flock of sheep....the decision was made with a very heavy heart...In three weeks they will leave for their new home,a nice home with 30 acres of pasture.....
I want to make sure I'm not running myself ragged and over doing it,with my new addition,cattle,horses and garden duties, I felt it was best for me as well as the sheep.
They will be greatly missed.
We are planting a small orchard.
We added three cherry, four apples, two pears and two crab apples this weekend.
They were planted along the riding ring. it will look beautiful in bloom as well as add privacy and a wind break to the ring.
I cant wait for the yummy fruit it will bear!
The best part,they were only $15/ tree and the trees are over 6 feet.
I discovered where my hens are laying.
In a attempt to hide them from the dogs they resorted to laying outside in the sawdust barn!
A nice mix of Cochin,Polish,Silver Spangled Hamburg, Langshan and Dark Brahma.
I got a nice lesson in on my mare Friday night,I was grateful for the time and how well behaved Fancy was.
The cattle were moved to a new area last night,it wont be long before they are on lush pasture.
Rain is expected to move in today and it is desperately needed, it is very,very dry.
The pastures will benefit greatly.
Well that's about it,
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
i'm sure you will miss your sweet sheep, but glad you found a good place for them to go. you've got your hands full, for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteI know you will miss your sheep but I understand the need to not be completely worn out trying to do everything. Being a Mom is a full time job in itself. They are going to a good home. I understand HUG
ReplyDeleteRain looks like it may be heavy your way. We need rain too. Take care B
I think you made a wise decision in trying not to overload yourself. Like Buttons said, being a Mom is a full time job, and the most important! :) We finally got our rain this weekend...hope it finds you soon!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you have to give up your sheep, but truly understand. Would you mind sharing where one might get fruit trees for only $15 each? :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteare you local? if so I can give you the number of the gentleman who has them
