A beautiful boy.

 Meet Mickey Mouse. This is our first lamb of the season. A little girl. So far we are at one kid, three lambs that count will change within the next couple of hours as we have two goats in labour right now.

Sigh here we go a typical Spring in British Columbia. Snow like you would not believe and why? Well any time starting today we can start kidding.
We have been enjoying having all our children around this last week. My house is bursting at the seems again and I love it.
We have a few farm jobs that will need to get done this week. Fixing a fence, moving a Ram and setting up the camera. I would like all that done today but we will see.
Our last few days have been amazing  as high as 17 above. I did some great yard cleaning during those days. I might shovel snow today...

This was our beautiful walk the other day. Today is SNOW...

Coyote tracks to close for comfort

The other day we walked up back and found a large tree on the fence line plus some smaller trees hanging over the fence on the side way up. So I guess that will have to go onto a list of to do's...
Our weather has been jumping around again warm, cold, snow and wind. It really has been a strange winter. We still have used up a lot of wood though.
Lambing and kidding is soon we start on any time after the fifth for the goats and any time after the tenth for the sheep. I hope it goes fast, smooth and is warm.
My oldest son and his girlfriend are home for a week. It is so good to see him again he has not been home since just after Christmas. So our house is full as my oldest daughter and her baby also came over for a sleep over. So kids, babies sleeping every where on the floor with made up beds. Ahh I love it.
My middle son is booked for the end of March for his driving test so on Sunday is his first driving lesson. I hope to get at least four lessons for him. Then my middle daughter is going in to have her "N" driving test done. Ahh then on May eighth my youngest daughter can go in for learners. Sigh no wonder I live under stress.
Take care and enjoy your first day of Marc ours sure came in like a Lion but at this moment it is kind of resembling a Lamb.

A very cute boy was visiting last week

We have some new baby bunnies. Sam my youngest son has two little rabbits. Last month he was cleaning the cages he popped them into together and guess what we have now. We have five very, cute tiny little bunnies. He has great dreams for these five little rabbits...like keeping them all.

This is the Momma bunny. We bought here from a pet store in Kamloops.

This is Sam's favorite it is the tiniest of the bunch

Savannah is missing the farm, she needed a good visit with the bunnies. That's okay "Savannah" I will recruit you in one month for lambing and kidding.

 This is our Grandson Cash he is meeting the bunnies or any bunny for that matter for the first time. I think he looks totally impressed. (is impressed the right word??)

Yes we can feel SPRING creeping in. Very exciting, Very tiring time of year.

New babies on the farm

Happy Valentines

I hope your day is full of love
Today we made very colourful cupcakes.
 I hope they taste good.

It is sunny but cold out such a difference from fourteen above yesterday.
I raked and cleaned up one of the Lavender gardens. Still some one work to on that garden but the bulk is cleaned.

I should be out there now but my cupcakes took forever plus my youngest son is home from school.
Have a wonderful day.

Good Morning
February already. Wow is the time going by fast. Our weather has been jumping around all over we are at -9 right now then we warm up to amazing temperatures during the day then it starts to drop down
.
Today is a firewood day. We are nearly out. Ahhh not good we have used a lot of wood so far this winter.
My husband is away a lot now so I am in need to recruit my kids and get splitting.

So many projects are being done here. My kitchen is done I finished the last bit yesterday. Now the real work starts trying to keep it clean. That alone is a full days chore.

Our middle son has won his first round of hockey play offs. I went to the first game then his older sister her family and his brother and sisters took him to his second. Youngest son starts first round next week.
I get so excited knowing we are soooo close to being done hockey.

I have had an order of of one hundred bath bombs all lavender for a Lavender farm over in the Okanagan. So that should keep me busy for awhile.

Wonderful bath bombs and Spa bombs. So many incredible projects here on the farm

A busy January for sure here. Projects so many projects. Crazy weather so cold one minute so warm the next. Yesterday an amazing 15 above water running everywhere and ice.
Yesterday the boys moved our Billy goat out we have a month and half until kidding starts. There is nothing worse than having to look over our shoulders all the time. However the dogs have been barking so much last night I am really hoping the ole goat is still in.This Buck has been horrible to keep in one place, he is the biggest baby.
I have been busy redoing our Kitchen. I great project tile, paint, swirling paint, sanding tables in the middle of the kitchen and washing curtains. Also the pantry was hit too that was one big mess.
Have a great day today.

This is what I have been doing the last two days
