Did Ewe Know?
April 4, 2011Mom has been collecting trivia about sheep to go in the book she’s writing. She said I could share some with you. Isn’t this fun!
Here Be Lambs!
March 28, 2011Last night, Wren had her babies in one of the stalls attached to the round pen. That’s only a little way from my buck pen, so Uzzi and I got to listen in.
Growing Buckeye Chicks
March 21, 2011Our baby Buckeyes are doing fine and growing up fast! They all have feathered wings, and some have tiny tail feathers, too. Buckeyes are big, active chicks, so ours are already trying to hop out of the brooder.
The Chicks are Here!
March 14, 2011Our chicks arrived on Friday, and now there are 10 red-and-yellow peeps in the living room. (Their brooder makes a good light for when me ‘n’ Uzzi creep in at night to use the computer.)
Holey Moley!
February 28, 2011The soil on our farm is so rocky that it’s hard to garden or even dig a hole, but apparently not for moles—a mole is digging tunnels all over our yard.
Jeepers, Peepers!
February 21, 2011Last Thursday evening, Uzzi and I were hunkered down for the night, chewing cud and gazing up at the rising full moon, when Uzzi said, “What’s that?”
It Isn’t Spring Yet!
February 14, 2011Mom’s been noticing signs of spring, but she got a big surprise. We had two blizzards in two weeks, and the last one was a doozy!
Collecting Stuff
February 7, 2011Remember when Salem got sick and Mom and Dad gave him bock beer to soothe his bellyache? Mom and Dad don’t drink beer, so Uzzi and I decided to Google it for them.
A Goat Tale
January 31, 2011Last year, Mom wrote a book about goats. It includes paraphrased fairy tales and folk stories including our favorite, “Alyonushka and Ivanushka.”
Signs of Spring
January 24, 2011You know how I talked last week about some of the Boers shedding their cashmere undercoats? Now they’re all doing it; that’s a sign of spring!
