Here are my two border collies enjoying the kidde pool. When I first got them - they didn't like water at all. Now they are in the pool all the time. They were 10 months and 18 months when I brought home the boys.

Gosh is it fall All Ready?

The weather gets me into the winter mode. I have to get so many things done before it gets really cold out side. All my plants need to come in - however I want to paint the room - but I have to mud an area - my middle son put a door in the room and said the younger son can mud it LOL !!! Like that was going to happen! If doesn't look good - no one is going to stay in there and visit with me over Christmas!

Busy putting in a couple of posts for some gates. I tried to get all the gates painted this summer but I didn't finish.. Maybe next year?
I have been selling the just shorn fleeces on ebay and etsy - I have sold over 12 -- I am selling the whole fleece not breaking them up into bits. I rinsed all the sheep before I sheared them so the fleeces are wonderful! Clean ! Bright!

November 1 is the breeding date for my ewes

Because I work so much during the school year I finally figured out to make it simple... I am going to have my lambing season during spring break! This way I can shear them and lamb them and have time to do it !!! The lambies will be one month later in the spring and have a bit of a better start!

Hi = I had a great summer - it went so fast!!

I finished shearing - this time I hosed off the sheep in groups to wash out the dirt in the wool, this summer was wet to start and very dry at the end - so every one was dirty dirty!!

I bought a new ram from Koeppels and he looks like he has good feet and legs and of course he has a nice fleece.

I am coming up for air - summer

I got busy last year working two jobs sometimes 15 hour work days..
Here it is summer again and I find out pass word to post something on this..

Had a nice lambing - All moms were good most had twins.

Oh NO WHat Happened to Summer!

Summer is almost over and I don't feel that summer even made it here! I did start a flock of Bluefaced Leicester sheep. Sold my Suffolk and I am selling my Border Leicesters. Need to sell my Lincolns but that is harder than I thought.. I did plant a garden and built a couple of shady ARBORS in front of the house and I am building a 10 x 10 foot wood shed to put wood in for the winter... LOL But I don't have much wood to put in it!! Summer went so fast !!! School is starting soon and I will be working two jobs again....
