Farming

Sometimes being a farm sucks. Today the inevitable happened, one of our animals died.

Our sweet sweet donkey, Franny, was hit by lighting and killed last night. We are all feeling very sad. She was a much loved pet and will be missed terribly. I am so glad I had the chance to spend some time with her yesterday afternoon.

Woody came home!!! It was a surprise. Lucy is totally in love!

It is 5:40pm and they are both asleep. We may have partied too much this weekend. :)
BTW- Lucy is sleeping on the floor because I tried to wake her up but she squirmed off my lap, laid down on the floor and fell back to sleep. They have both been asleep for more than 2 hours so I guess we will be staying up late tonight. Father's Day late night partying at our house!

Dave rented an excavator for the weekend! I hope the quality of this video is good enough so you can see the beautiful view we have up here at The Homestead (as I am now calling it). :)
We are having a cookout and campfire up here tomorrow night to celebrate our house hole. ;) If you are in our neck of the woods stop by! If you are coming for dinner bring a dish to pass otherwise just bring yourself a chair. See you tomorrow!

Just a little bit more wool. ;D Yesterday the very wonderful Joanna from Lollypop Farm called and asked if I wanted some more wool (she gave me 3 bags when we adopted the sheep). She said the llamas had just been sheared and I could have that and all the rest of the sheep wool too if I wanted it. I quickly called Julie to make sure I had backup so Dave couldn't kill me.Then, with Julie's enthusiatic yes the kids and I drove over there this morning. You should have seen me shoving those bags into the car! :)

This will definetly be an adventure. It is from llamas. It looks a lot like human hair and it is starting to weird me out a bit. :)
