A view West from the Deck of our home, in early morning Fall and Winter.
Being from New Zealand one has to have a few sheep around! These girls and one guy are North Country Cheviots a breed from the highlands of Scotland.
The first lamb of 2005 born on April 3rd. She had to be bottle fed and lived in the house until she could be weaned. Yes she does have diapers on and got on very well with the dog!
This is April one year later, she also gets called "baby sheep 200". That was her ear tag number which she ripped out of her ear trying to get though the cat door into the house, she is now a little too big for the cat door!
Our first lamb of 2006 Season born on March 5th. Olive shall be her name, born to Splash (the kids pick the names not me). In these pictures she is about 2 hours old.
Noodles and her twin babies, Bunny and Little Guy.
This is Annie, Its a shame they have to grow up! The same can be said for the kids too I guess!.
If you have sheep you have to have a sheep dog, who says that a Pit Bull can't be a sheep dog, she (Haven the dog, not the kid) does a wonderful job!
Here's Tony, and some of his Girls. How chickens can walk around in the snow without getting their feet frozen off beats me! Sorry to say but Tony lost his life after fighting with a fox that was taking one of his "girls", she was saved but Tony was taken away.
Why can't we all just get along! ........... I wonder what's for dinner tonight?
The farm laborers hard at work.
A small stream that runs though our land, a nice place for the kids and dog to play.
After having a vet look at the Hawk we made a nest and put back up a tree near were it was found. Hoping the parents would look for it but to no avail so the bird was taken to VINS to be looked after.
A Ruby Throated Humming Bird up close and personal.
