Ewe Ought To Know

You are absolutely magnificent. Head to hoof, a true masterpiece.

Here’s What’s Happening At Good Spirits Farm

The shots have been given, and the hooves have been trimmed. It was long, hard, hot and stressful, but with a little help from the very wonderful guy I’ve been seeing, the work got done.

Beatrice was sure she was going to die.

But then she decided she secretly liked being hugged by Todd. (Me too, Beatrice.)

This week I was reminded of the fact that, no matter what I think, nature really runs this show. These poor baby birds were just about to fledge. I briefly thought about intervening when I came across this scene, but snakes gotta eat (and also, I was probably too late).

These next few weekends are all going to be so busy. The honey has to be harvested, I need to get a shipment of hay delivered, and the garlic, onions, beets, and carrots all must be pulled out of the garden. If anyone ever wanted a working farm vacation, now’s the time to speak up! (Emphasis on working!)

Little by little, I know I will get it done, but boy, does the next month feel a little overwhelming as I stare down my task list.

Here’s What I Loved This Week

This tiny little turtle we found while on a hike behind the farm. I had to add the black-eyed Susan for scale to show just how itty bitty he was! Hi buddy!
