Throwback Thursday to almost five years ago when little Potato landed at my farm. She was too small for my goat jackets and had to make due with a tea towel to keep warm while outside. She followed me around like my shadow and was the best sheep you ever met (even if she did think she was a goat...)

If all goes well this spring sheep will at least be returning to my little farm.

With ears like that it's becoming more and more difficult for me to sneak into the barn most days ...

A bit of a change in view from two years ago.

At the time I'd just moved in after a month of delays due to Nova Scotia Power, my back was still recovering from a bad injury in December, the barn construction had to be cancelled until May, and my animals were still boarding elsewhere.

I'd only managed to clear and burn a little under an acre of woodlot for future fields and I was on way too much medication of the non-fun sort.

I remember wondering how many times I must have been dropped as a child to think this was a good idea ...

🙂

Spork expected an automatic scratching post and is very disappointed that she has to do everything herself. Is she supposed to give herself scritches, like some kind of peasant? How terribly upsetting!

After careful study and much consideration I have concluded that it is almost impossible to take a picture of a miniature horse with a case of the zoomies where they don't look ridiculous and like they are about to fall down 🤦‍♂️

Chonkiest supervisor ever.

Pie checks out the storage shelf going up in the barn. I think it's safe to say that they are load bearing 👀

She demands to speak to the manager.

It can be hard to remember exactly how much progre

It can be hard to remember exactly how much progress has been made when you're knee deep in it every day.

It never hurts to come up for air, take a look around, and remember that no matter how much farther you have to go, it's worth looking back to see how far you have already gone.

It will be the two year anniversary of my move from South Side Harbour to Ashdale in another month. In that time a lot has happened here to turn a pulp road and some overgrown tree lots into the start of a farm and I am very grateful for all the help and support I have received to make that happen.

Spork patiently listens to me explain why I am fifteen minutes late, due to having to plow the driveway, before telling me she has had enough of my crap and wants her supper, NOW.

Cookie is doing her best to sneakily stalk the newest addition to the farm, Jellybean, but she isn't very good at the sneaky part. The little folie desperately wants to be friends with Jellybean but the poor lad is still feeling a little rough after a long trip from out West.

She'll win him over eventually - as long as she stops trying to play by going after his butt 🤦‍♂️

Poor little Sprinkles. The wee girl is going through a hard heat and is ready to rock and roll but she's too young to safely breed without serious consequences to her and any babies. It doesn't help that Mister Boo is strutting his stuff in the next pen, able and willing to go 🤦‍♂️

Little Boo is rapidly growing into Mister Boo and has already spent some time with one of the ladies. The little man is all grown up 😎
