This week I build a. Hay feeder out of one of my old goat feeders I’ve had hanging in the barn for about 15 years. Also last week I picked up a couple more Rabbits at the Mennonites. The sheep are doing well weaning them off the bottle this week. 93764A64-E3CF-4E63-BF98-9FC329371EB2.jpegED42A378-8025-4F76-984E-9A9FEE7EB223.jpeg19106A55-9B56-49B5-A9D3-28689E6AB01B.jpeg57BE5CC5-AF3E-41F7-8348-E46BE896B97A.jpeg18C443EE-16DF-4287-85C9-DB53D2B7C41F.jpeg1F360632-37CA-4A4B-9EEC-37C5C2AF0046.jpeg

Yesterday was a very busy day here on the farm. Cleaned up the branches from a tree I had cut down in the late Fall. Plowed up the main garden. Plowed a spot for my Sweet Corn this year also plow a spot buy the little barn for some Pumpkins and clean out the Sheep stalls. 2C2EBCC6-BFF6-404E-B639-8AA5E7F068EA.jpegD0CA2C52-9088-430E-8232-185A936E7E73.jpeg793DF8F8-2B63-4B39-80FD-092AED2D5DA5.jpegC9FF0586-1CFD-43E2-BDD1-376997E6321A.jpeg4E47389B-897D-444E-927D-FDFF5A53C94A.jpegDA8437E4-0CE2-489D-8AB8-9EA769CEF1A3.jpeg3BF483B9-F218-48EA-95A0-5E2CEBAB9B4C.jpegDB173843-B64A-4129-B684-0FE6A58D7595.jpeg4836E0EE-4EEA-4EE7-8BEE-CE4933EFD8D1.jpegF2980C19-680F-412C-9A3F-D086FE61867B.jpeg

Agree with John about your photogenic sheep. Must be a very busy time for you on the farm. I suppose all the work you do now will hopefully pay dividends with a good harvest.

You are so right John. It’s amazing what a Job change will do for your health and mental health. I haven’t felt this good in 15 years or so. I still have severe Arthritis pain but I tolerate it.

Good to hear Lee. Pity about the arthritis, but tolerate it is about all you can do. Easier when you are in a happier place mentally though.

I got a lot done on the Hobby Farm was plaining on planting this week but all this rain is keeping me from it. I managed to plow a space for our sweet corn in the upper side of the field where the winter wheat is move some wood from the front. The sheep are doing well I thing Bucko my Ram Sheep is falling in love with Dolly. The Chicks that I hatched out are growing up fast too. 1E057BBF-B8A8-4F52-8BA1-889CDB6E9EBF.jpegF02DE5BA-DF56-46C3-8146-5546A87350FC.jpeg7EE1EBD4-A322-45C5-A556-72A64C227C21.jpeg2E6C34DA-1CD9-488D-A738-CC237F37A59D.jpegD9074CDF-2CEF-44FD-AC50-11FC57EE9464.jpegC32E418D-2AE7-4380-A93E-8A5441CDB1BA.jpeg0D8606FF-1417-451B-A0B1-9DD6FE1EC9F1.jpeg2480DC1A-25E0-496D-BB67-57F6DC7817F2.jpeg

That Aliss is looking very nice. Well looked after. A nice little plot you have there.
I have to ask. Them there wabits Are they for petting or the pot?
Your corn plot is just a tad bigger than mine lol. We have just room for about 20 plants. The last two seasons the cobs have been dry and starchy. not worth eating. Any ideas why they did that? I have read to little water right up to being to long on the plant - over ripe.

Lambs are cute. Piglets even more so. Maybe a good thing we didn't get the 9 acers that came with the house lol.

Always enjoy your updates from the farm. Chicks and sheep all doing well :thumb2: . We've had a long wet winter here too.
Bucko and Dolly in love - spring is in the air!

There my lawn mowers lol. The Allis Chalmers is kept in my garage and it runs great but needs some paint. Yes your corn got too dry and lack of moisture and didn’t make property. It goes the same way if you get too much moisture it will turn a light green/ yellow. This will be the first time I’ve grown Sweet Corn in about 20 years.
