A week in review

This week has been wonderfully full, so full that there's been no time to blog the highlights.  But here's a quick review.

Kitty playtime.

Chicken playtime.

Ped (William's aracauna, "Pedius Viridis") starting laying.

The girls built a primitive shelter.  

Set my sewing machine up outside and Peter helped sew another scrap quilt top.

School work distraction.

Visited a dairy goat farm and was unsuccessful in persuading Paul to bring one home (only because the one available doe is due the same week as I am).

Went to Tillers and purchased three ewes (all due to lamb this winter).  The fiber snob in me chose the merino, but my more practical side simply put down a few tarps, a pile of straw and loaded them right in the back of the van.  This gave all our more experienced neighbors a good laugh. 

Paul was laughing the whole hour+ drive home.

Got them comfortable in their new home.  Then aired out the van for two days.
