2011, A Busy Year

How can I even catch everyone up? It seems that it's been a blink of an eye and here it is OCTOBER. Where to begin? We've been as busy as our bees! We started with 3 hives and now have 5. Bees are extremely interesting. We should be able to "steal" honey this up-coming spring.



We have had an animal explosion this past spring, which keeps everyone busy.











Yard work and landscaping is a never-ending job. The rewards are amazing, though.



No more ramp at the front door.








The most recent addition is "Studburger". He will be Mabel's mate once grown. At this point she is being somewhat of a mother figure to him. We are bottle feeding him for his nutrition. So cool!





Next year, we'll have a calf of our own and be able to milk Mabel for milk, cheese, yogurt and butter.
