Random Farm Photos

I take photos thinking of sharing on the blog and then I never have time. Here is an accumulation of some from the last couple of weeks.

2 Jacob ewe lambs after shearing

Patchwork Amara and Patchwork Bettylou, the two lambs that came from Georgia last summer.

daffodils

Daffodils are here. I have a friend who has told me she doesn’t like daffodils because they are trying to be too cheery. (You know who you are.) I don’t agree with that, but I must say that every time I see a daffodil I think of that friend.

Rose

What time of year is this?

It is a little worrisome to see roses blooming already.

Egg laid in the baling twine

One of the chickens decided to use the bin where I throw baling twine to make a nest.

Egg laid in the straw

Another is using an open bale of straw.

Restacking compost pile with the tractor.

Making compost. Dan turns this pile every so often. You can see the steam rising. The pile is warm inside. Soon we’ll need more moisture to keep it going.

Jacob fleece

One of the things that has been keeping me busy is skirting fleeces and photographing them for the website. I have several listed but they aren’t live on the site yet. They will be soon. This is a coated fleece—look how long and clean it is!
