Late Spring

More views from the farm. Everything is really green after all the rain. Cutting grass has become a regular chore now
Bottom pic is what I see when I come home. The wheat is ripening now and the trees are in full leaf. The horses recognize the sound of my truck and come galloping up to the front of their paddock when I come home. I'd like to think they are happy to see me and I guess they are, after all I'm their meal ticket LOL!

more critters

Here is another picture with more critters. In the front are two of my jacob ewes and in the rear are Julip the Fjord and Trinket the mini. All are sporting their shaggy winter wear. They dont look like that now. The sheep are sheared as of last friday and the horses are almost done shedding.

I am pretty happy with the fleeces I got from my jacobs and 2 shetlands. They are of good quality clean and have very little vegetation in them. Makes skirting them a breeze. I have quite a few nice fleeces for sale.

Spring

Finally I had the time to figure out how to post pictures. These are a few of the pics I took one late afternoon. It was early spring just when the snow had finally melted away and the grass was turning green. Too soon for leaves but warm weather was just around the corner.

The top photo is of our Aussie "Spinner". He is quite tuckered after a romp in the hay field. Secong shot is my son Hayden with Spinner. Third shot is what our view behind our property looks like and 4th is our little "Shack on the Hill" or as Hayden puts it more romantically our "English Cottage" This is the back view with Ryme our young Border Collie looking wistful.
