I almost forgot to “blog” about the new additions to our little farm. Dennis bought a little ram lamb so our “girls” can have a boyfriend. Not sure what we named the little guy. So many names were floating around: BAAAAob , BAAAArney and then “Hef” since he has three girl friends!
The girls took right to him and started playing with him. He is the smallest one in the picture since he is a few months younger.
Before we let him join the girls, he had to get some medicine to help his tummy adjust to the change. Learned our lesson with one of the girls. My Uncle and Aunt got to help!
We also have “barn”kitties. A mama cat showed up and was very friendly. Later we found out that she had three little kittens. Ryan has been visiting them and they will let him hold them and play with them. No names yet.
Right now we have the beginnings of a fruit orchard with apples, plums and tangerines in the area with the bee hives. We already had pear and fig trees. Behind our house we have an orange tree and blueberry bushes too. We have pastures for hay and grazing and we have 9 cows (1 is a bull), and the four sheep. Who knows what we will get next. Dennis and the boys are working every chance they get to finish up a fence so we can move the animals from one side of the land to the other. Farmer Dennis is LOVING IT!! the boys-not so much! They are HAPPPY for all this rain! Less work time and the ground is soft so the fence posts go in easier!
