April Days on the Farm

Someone put this poster up at the girls' school. I was in a hurry as I rushed by it the first time. The second time I grabbed a shot of it. I need to remember this!






And so I need to appreciate some of the beauty in the yard. Here are a mix of our herbs and annuals that are always ready to happily greet anyone coming up to the front door. We like to pick strawberries out of this patch too. I find that crushing the lemon balm on my fingers before picking and eating a strawberry makes it even more delicious.




Here go the girls walking the sheep. They'll be the best halter broken sheep at the shows this summer.






Forbes is still a lap lamb.





Our red ranger chicks and broad breasted bronze turkey poults are good buddies. Turkey in the straw!





These guys are pretty cool.




That Forbes! We had a sheep invasion in the house. Good thing he's still a lap lamb.






Michael has been working so hard on the sheep shack. It's been primed but not painted barn red with the white trim yet. The lambs have definitely been using it for shade on the sunny days and to stay dry on the rainy ones. (Yes! Finally we are getting some rain. We are very thankful!)





After a hard day of working, someone deserves a mojito on the patio.





Glancing back at the patio from the artichoke hedge. I think Valerie is enjoying the sun.





Work and play!

Okay, time to stop playing! Get back to work.
