Deep into it

4-H Clothing project in full swing with Miss A.


Cutting slowly  on shirt material.


Shorts finished and looking cute.


Lined in seam pockets.


She said "I needed to get used to scissors/shears, but now they fit great".



  LN who is rarely seen here anymore, a PHD student in the wild or maybe just helping the BF check his trees growth for his research.

Some things...

have been accomplished in the last few weeks/months.


Miss A competed in her first cooking contest in 4-H.

She baked Double Chocolate Sourdough Muffins and entered them in the Beginner Bread.



She (2nd from left) won her division and received a small chopper for her prize.


I may have absconded with it ;)

In other news we took down more pines trees.
Two had bark off and dry, open gashes in them. Not rotten yet but headed there.


When Z dropped the top half he swayed with the trunk and I have may have had a mild stroke.
He never flinched.


Burnt 4 (some dropped last fall)  trees except large wet trunk pieces.


It may have been too windy and a spark may have singed off some of my hair, maybe.

My 2025 lambing season is finished.
I lost a ewe to severe prolapse with uterus bursting a month before due date.
Of the rest all went well.


Nice top line.


Last ewe finished the way God intended.
Outside, overnight, dried off and nursed lambs found in the early morning check.


The whites are so easy, just drop, clean and go on with it.


Two sets of triplets this year. 
Both sets are natural colored.
All doing well.
Extra bottles refused but always offered.


Snack time for Mama and ewe lamb.

Proper attire for early morning checks!
