The wasps are enjoy the warmer weather and the bluebirds try to peck at them through the window glass.

Have a look around
Welcome to the Daily Page
Some of the blueberry plants have arrived!
March has been kind of a blur...after all that snow...sore knee and hips , I wasn't getting much exercise. But I lost weight and Zorra gained weight and she was much more active once the snow hardened up and she could patrol her property.
After the excitement with Sparkle stepping on me after I tried to catch her so she could have her hooves trimmed, we both are doing better. My farrier and I agree that the donkey is probably losing her depth perception and this made it much harder for her to maneuver in the lambing barn, where she gets her feet trimmed. But there was no excitement earlier this month when I was catching her to have her feet trimmed and she did much better with the farrier ,much less fussy. Other things to report are: ~We had 4 male bluebirds visiting regularly while the snow cover was still on the ground ~My youngest ewe Music has a major shed going and I have at least 3/4 of a grain bag of her hair/wool. The other girls are a little farther behind, but you can see wisps of hair all over the barn and attached to the former Christmas tree in the tractor bay. ~ My ram Drummer is starting to get his coat cut as well, but that takes me much longer as I have to use hand shears and it will take me a while to get him completely cut back to a more warm weather coat. He has quite a bit of woolly fiber but also very long hairy fiber as well. ~ I have been working on the front yard garden design and have decided to put down more landscape cloth and mulch so I have less front yard to mow. So spring is officially here and we have snow on the ground.....again....but I guess that is preferable to mud or bugs. |
Sparkle the donkey stepped on me by accident.....it is much better now!
The snow has receded and the days are getting longer.
Early Spring on the Farm
