Tiny goat's vaccine done~


Managed to get the tiny female goats their yearly 
CD&T and de-wormed and bug sprayed. 

Good thing they are easy to handle.

Gave them some sweet feed after.

Pretty much kicked my backside but I am glad I got 
them done.

The 2oolb halter trained sheep will have to wait for 
another day. 




Peonies and what nots ~


DH moved the Peonies from their winter spot. 
Moved the two Rose bushes that were bought on sale last Autumn out of the garage where they were during the 
cold months.
Most likely put the Roses in Pots too.



 The Tiny Daffodils are blooming. 


Many Honey Bees around the Peach flowers. I do not think this one was too impressed by me beeing around. ;O) 



This is what my lawn looks like right now. I dislike using chemicals and I think it is better for the environment.


Finally figured out what these super small flowers are. 
Field Pansy's - Viola rafinesquii Greene .
They are also safe for the Baby Tortoise to eat.

Signs of Spring ~


The older Peach tree is just starting to flower.





Pluot tree is blooming for the first time.
Very small flowers but it is nice to see.



Should have more blooms on the other fruit trees soon.


This is the first State I have lived in, were nature is so out of balance, it is hard to get plants to thrive and produce food.

Have been slowly releasing beneficial bugs, so I am hoping that I might get some fruit this year.

Eggs ~




Not breathing well enough today, to take one of the 
cats to the new Vet.
But..
At least I could take a couple of photos of a basket of eggs...
Love the mint green speckled one, dark Marans 
and
 the Turkey egg.



Rose of course wanted one.

Just keep Spinning ~~

 Fairly bad double vision today.. so I am thinking of what I can do, at least for a little bit?

Well, I do not have to see to spin yarn.
Grab some Roving sit down and start spinning.


This was in 2014, before I cut my hair.
Yes, that is Mia on my lap while I was trying to ply yarn.


A couple of examples of the handmade yarn I make. 


The merino roving I am spinning now, as per a
 previous blog post.

Miss my horses a lot, specially Maggie.
But it is allowing me to spin for short periods of time.

My moto- Just keep Spinning. ;O)
