    I wanted to get a picture of the bridge on the main road into town. They line the bridge with flags donated by families of service men and women from our area. Unfortunately, farm work has kept us up the hill today, so I had to find my own flag. Prompt: It’s Memorial Day in… Continue reading

    The last couple of days, we’ve been vaccinating the sheep and doing toe trims. I can’t do too many toes before my hands give out, so we do them in batches. The pregnant ewes are now completely done, except for the spring dewormer. I do that 24-48 hours before we turn them out on pasture,… Continue reading
