As usual time is flying by here on the farm.

Time is going so fast I can't keep up.

Our last child graduated so we are all done.

How cool is that.

We are super proud of all our kids.

We have been busy around the farm it has been birthday mode. We now have a little break then a new girl will be joining our family. Very excited about that.

This little boy is so full of love

Here we are at the Spring market it was a intense time getting ready but we did it.

 This beautiful boy

 This beautiful boy graduates next month this is our youngest. I am so glad the school years are behind me all I need is the last diploma of six and we will hang this picture with the rest.

 A good day. I always try to see this little guy before I work. He is full of business, love and fun.

 Our Dalton is 22 gosh time flies. This is early in the morning opening presents. He is in his fourth year fire fighting.

 Spring has found us we have had some great hot weather and then back to some cool weather. We have been incredibly busy actually intense busy. Lambing has been dragging on since the end of February and we are still waiting on two ewes.

 Our cute boys still fits farm visits in. I sure do love this little guy.

 The baby goats and baby lambs are growing up good and strong.

 These are our new friends little bottle babies. The little sheep is oreo and the little goat is Peter. I feed them three times a day and they are full of spunk.

 We went over to my brothers and sister in laws for his birthday. We had a very nice lunch and visit

 This little guy has been having some nice farms days. We have been exploring looking for treasures. He was looking for purple rocks and heart shape ones.

February the months are already flying by time is slipping away and I am not sure how to slow it down.

Our weather has been mild it is raining right now it makes me wonder what it has in store for us. The fall and winter has crazily flown by and now with Spring approaching it is hard not to sit and wonder where did the time go.

I have used up a lot of the time debudding lavender nearly everyday or for sure every week all the lavender is debudded it made a fine mess in the house. I have fifty five pounds of the lavender bud the next step of sifting will have to wait until I can get outside to do. It is a great job to have behind me a great weight lifted off my shoulders.

March we start lambing and kidding anytime after the sixteenth. I am hoping it goes smooth as this will be the first time I have to fit it into anther work schedule. I am hoping I can count on the children to pick up the slack.

 This is how our January looked some crocheting during road trips and evening time. It is a wonderful yarn in the Hudson bay colours. We have been using every weekend with work for my husband and hockey for our youngest son.  

 I have been using our new weight machine I wonder if I will ever see any gains

 Some fun snow days with this guy. Igloo building sledding and fun

A fun New years project making beef jerky.

 This was my first time to make it not really hard but time consuming. I used a little chief smoker, strips of beef, marinated it over night in a brine

 Here is it all set ready to smoke

Apple chips for smoking

 Finished jerky
