A LOT has happened. I suppose a run down of all of that would be in order.
So here goes, in no particular order:
1. We welcomed a third grandson to the family in September of 2016, he is precious and precocious and we're quite fond of him.
2. All of the grand kids and their mom moved out a year ago this month to live in Georgia. We will have them for 7 weeks this summer, and I'm pretty excited about that.
3. We lost our ewe "Patches" to a dog attack, and it was quite sad.
4. Our first ram "Pappy" (pictured in the previous post with Patches) went to market as he got to be a bit unmanageable, as rams tend to do.
5. We have had the following sheep since that time:
- Jasper
- Oreo
- Tango
- Cash
- Luna
- Two unnamed market lambs
6. We currently have two little rams that will go to market in August - Frank and Jesse.
7. We lost our pickup truck in October, which was our only mode of transportation, thankfully my parents had a vehicle they weren't driving that they gave us. We're now the proud owners of an Aztek - featured in the hit show Breaking Bad. LOL
8. We are no longer raising rabbits. We still have 2 retired bucks that will stay here for the duration, but no more girls, no more babies. Thankfully - they're a pain!
9. We stopped plowing the ground and have moved to square foot boxes for our garden, and so far I'm really pleased.
10. We lost the greenhouse in March of '17 to a microburst that also ripped the neighbors roof off her house. In the grand scheme of things, we were fortunate. It took just over a year to get her home back to normal!
11. Things stopped getting updated because our only computer died! We have a new (to us) one now, so we're back!
Well,. I guess that's about it for this update. There will be more to come. We have a YouTube channel now - I'll add the link below.
