Burning Some Brush
Today, we started the spring brush burning. All of the prunings from the trees need to be disposed of. Larry had a large pile set aside, and Ken burned it today. There is still a lot out in the orchard – we’ll have several burn piles to go through – but this is a good Continue reading

Sheep Happens
You never quite know what can happen during morning chores. This morning, after feeding all of the critters, we were watching the adult rams. One was being chased by both Becky and the other rams.

He was trained in dressage, reining, and pleasure, and he was always a gentleman to handle. He was the first purebred Arabian horse we ever bred. He was also a SCID Continue reading

Winnie and the Ewes
We moved Winnie in with one batch of pregnant ewes today. This’ll allow us to move Becky in with the rams. All of the ewes were concerned about the new dog. This ewe, Desert Weyr Annwyl, was obviously the one chosen to go up and check the dog out. Winnie passed her inspection, and they’re Continue reading

Etsy and Ravelry
I don’t have too many pictures to share of my activities lately – I’ve mostly been getting my online stuff organized. We now have an Etsy shop called DesertWeyr. I currently have only a few items there. I’m going to see how it all goes before I go all in. I’m also on Ravelry as Continue reading
