Lambing and Gardening

So very busy. It is lambing season here on the farm. We have 7 ewes, 6 of who were pregnant. So far, 2 have lambed. One had twins, one had a single. All black, all boys. All very healthy. We're expecting more everyday.

We completed the building of our very modified german 4 square garden. We have a neighbor with plenty of extra horse manure, along with our compost and good garden soil to fill in the raised beds.

Springs are starting to recede and the front pastures are beginning to dry out. That's a sure sign winter is almost over. It's still cold enough to load the woodstove before bed and in the morning.
Kate's art project, a 3-D barn with clay animals and farmers, got a second place ribbon at the Washington County Rural Heritage Museum Open House. If you have never been there, it's a great place to visit. The museum volunteers have an incredible wealth of knowledge and there's a lot to see. And they put on a terrific easter egg hunt.

I'll add some pictures when I get a hold of the camera.
