frosty mornings.

It's safe to say that Summer is over.  Frost is here and the woodstove is up and running most of the time. This was a tough season in general.  All we've got to show at this end of the growing season is a whole bunch of popcorn, 6 quarts of tomato juice, and a handful of snake gourds.

This photo was taken the weekend before we put the sheep in with their rams.  Blue Ewe Kendall, has taken over as lead ewe.  Alice is firmly in second place, these days.

And, as always the lovely Oreo. Mary-Kate and Ashley in the background, all grown up and looking for a man.

The last ram....

Been missing in action... Here's to trying to get back into the swing of things. This Jacob ram was born later in the summer than the rest of the lambs. His mother is Sheri and his Father is Malachi from Painted Rock Farm. As of now all sheep breeding groups have been put together. If this ram is any indication of what's to come from Malachi as a flock sire, I can't wait to see what else he can throw.

There is Alice's ram on the left.

Alice had a baby.

Alice the alpha jacob ewe had her baby.  Here is a photo of what he looked like shortly after being birthed.  a lilac boy, probably a 4 horn.  He's missing an eye patch on his left side.  Looks like more meat.  meat#3 actually.  Another shot of his all dried off.
