Update from the farm…

I’m soooooo far behind on everything and anything these days! Briefly, the facts are these:
1) We’re still working on the bathroom. The new (again!) counter/sink was delivered, and this time it is all in one piece, so The Farmer is going to install that tomorrow if all goes well.
2) The place is awash with blooms. There are azaleas blooming, and also coral bells, ajuga, iris, lenten rose, tea roses, tiarella, honeysuckle, geraniums, and all kinds of wild flowers. I have clematis vines blooming in purples, blue, variegated and white.

This particular clematis is on a fence alongside the yard. The blooms are about 6″ across.
3. We’ve got a new occupant in our pond, a great big turtle. That’s okay until The Farmer decides to stock the pond with fish. We don’t want to buy sushi for the turtle, but for now he can subsist very nicely on frogs and tadpoles. We have a bazillion of those, ha!

4. I still haven’t got the sheep shorn. Note to self… set a date SOON!

5. I’ve also been trying to give away 3 roosters. No luck. They’re tearing the feathers off the backs of the hens. They need to go one way or another.

That’s the short version. I just don’t have time to write about everything that is going on right now. Why? Well, I’m taking a 6-week class, and it is INTENSE. I barely have time to keep up with regular chores, let alone any extras.

So if my posts are sparse, you’ll know why!
