We have gotten a little over 6" of rain in the last week but it was dry enough today to let me get caught up on grass cutting. I put the adult sheep in a paddock that doesn't have a shelter and when I moved them on to fresh grass, they had all lost the majority of loose hair and they are back to looking white again.
We started picking snow peas a couple of days ago and we should be getting our first big batch of cucumbers in 3-4 days.

How nice to have grass to cut. And graze sheep in. We have dirt and dust.

Teresa was talking to the folks that bought the two rams this morning. He said he named one of them Hatfield and the other McCoy. For those that don't know, McCoy is our last name.

Haha, I hope he keeps the shotguns put up and out of reach of Hatfield and McCoy’s hooves!

Great Names. I call each of my rams by the breeder's name. 4 rams from 4 breeders - makes it easy for me to identify them and their bloodlines. However, DH and DS1 don't know them by name and I have to add other descriptions:
Lewis is "The old ram" Moyboy is "The one that butted daddy" Axtell is "The one with the scur" and Smalley is "The new ram". LOL

We are finding a few things changing by the farm around us being fallow for over a year now. I mentioned before that we are seeing more bees and since the prevailing wind at our place is across that farm, we have a bumper crop of Giant Ragweed in the paddocks joining that farm. I was going to spray Nitrogen today anyway and since this was the first time in months that we had little wind, I went ahead and added 2-4-D to the nitrogen in the tank.
