a new june.

Sun and rain, heat and chills, May & June have been a bit of a rollercoaster. But all the critters are out grazing the green grass that the sun and rain make grow. The hay is about ready, just need a stretch of full sunshine.

Busy as usual, we're at the Bowdoinham Farmers' Market every Saturday often with one of the bottle lambs. Stop by and say hi. Hope to be at Augusta Farmers' Market at Mill Park in another couple weeks.

In like a lamb

Well everybody in the state of Maine thought spring had arrived a few days before the official date - temperatures in the low 60s, bright sunshine, snow melting...then of course it snowed the very next day. Here are some shots from that beautiful day and all the new lambs!





I caught some of the new little ones sleeping...















This was our winter project and is now our summer project and future pasture.

2011 blizzard #2

All this snow has allowed for me to catch up somewhat with the blog. More pictures of all the critters!
