Update of what we've been up to lately

Just thought we'd catch you up on some of the Never Done Farm happenings;

The escapee, " Boy is is nice to be away from that crowd!"

" I wonder what it's like in the big world below?"

" Okay, I'm lonely, how do I get back with my friends; Peeeep, Peeeep!"

Cortney's bottle lambs, aren't they precious? Both are boys, soon to be it's, they were banded

yesterday.

This one's name is Brownie

and this is Sonny.

Now, before the wise acres have a chance to say it( and you know who you are*wink*)

Yes, that's me doing a great job of spreading manure*wink*

Here I'm really flinging it, LOL!  So glad we decided to take the time to get the manure spread on the fields

and hauled to the gardens( to be spread by hand, okay not literally we do use a shovel*wink*), this past weekend.

Yesterday besides the regular chores, we did manage to spread some of the manure in the garden and I got the grape vines cut back, praying I didn't kill them*wink*, but they really needed it! I also managed to get a few of our flower gardens cleaned up a bit, but won't do the final cleaning until beginning of May, just in case of frost. 

Addy, our Dexter cow is due on the 30th, so will begin watching her closely. She is beginning to bag up but no sign of discharge yet.  We're so excited to see this new calf, and Cortney is praying for twins( I'm not), just a health and happy calf will be a blessing.

We still have raspberries to cut back and thin, strawberries to transplant, the hoophouse to complete, our seedlings to transplant and move into the mini greenhouse, once the lambs are in their pen full time. Right now with their feedings every three hours, we wanted to keep them a bit closer to the house for Cortney's sake, so they overnight in the greenhouse and then are returned to their pen during the day.

Today is rainy and gloomy, but the remainder of the week is forecasted to be very nice. I look forward to getting back outside, doing clean up and garden prep. Today is a good day to run to the city for some needed items, after we get a few loads of laundry done and hung on the drying racks around the wood stove( which is going to take off the damp chill that was beginning to set in*wink*)
