The lawn needed to be aerated, so Jennifer and I decided to try to do it ourselves. We had some old pieces of 2 x 4’s and picked up some 3.5 inch galvanized steel nails to create our own aeration shoes!
They work great, expect I just have to figure out a better way to keep them on the shoes! I was never good at tying knots!
Puffin is the name of the mother in this photo. Unfortunately she has only has one working nipple, but she still manages to feed all three of her wonderful children. What a hard working mom!
The young lamb in the very front is named Andrew. What he’s wearing is the sleeve of an actual sweater. The part where your hand usually goes is where the head of the lamb comes out. Two holes were cut in the sleeve for the two front legs. Keeps the young lambs warm and manages to make them even more adorable!
Jennifer and I went back to visit the newly born lambs at Solstice Farm Bed and Breakfast with our friends Misty, John and Christopher.
I know it’s only been a week, but those little lambs are growing up so very fast! They were romping around all over the field!
In these photos you see Linda holding a cute little lamb. The lamb tries sucking on Christopher’s thumb for some milk.
Okay, I admit it. I let the lamb suck my thumb too!
For the Spring Equinox, Jennifer and I visited Jim and Linda at Solstice Farm Bed and Breakfast. We wanted to see some of the brand new lambs that started to be born earlier that week. All the lambs we saw that day were less than 24 hours old! They were all so very cute!
That’s Linda feeding one of the lambs some colostrum she had thawed out. Colostrum is the super nutrient rich milk that the mother produces usually only a day or so after giving birth. Linda collects some whenever possible and freezes it just in case a mother doesn’t take to all her children at first.
So with Linda’s tender loving care, I think this cute little lamb is going to be just fine!
I always have so much fun carving pumpkins for Halloween. Last year I went with a musical theme by carving artwork from Samhain and The Misfits. This time I decided to redo my Jack Skellington with an awesome white pumpkin I found. I think it turned out pretty good!
I then carved a bunch of smaller pumpkins before I tackled another large one. For this last one, I wanted to do something a little different. I used the stem as the nose and carved out round eyeballs. The mouth had tons of teeth. Surprisingly, I didn’t knock out any of the teeth while carving them all out individually!
