Our Christmas was blessed with the joy of our whole family together, including only grandson Ryan, 14 mo. We hope your day was as enjoyable as ours.
The garage is now complete and the solar panel works incredibly well for such a low-tech and inexpensive device. Our snow level is low this year, though there seems to be plenty above about 9,000 ft. Now that we have passed the solstice, it is just about time to start seeds of spinach, lettuce, and chard to place in the house-greenhouse where the last three tomatoes will be ready for picking this week. The sheep and goats are happy and healthy, and hopefully, pregnant. We wish you peace and blessings for 2012, and hope to see you!
The four ewe lambs (shown with their mothers) were born in April 2011 and are now weaned and ready for sale. All are registered 90% Wensleydale.
