Yesterday stated before the sun came up, for me! I was up to get chores done at the crack of dawn. All because we had places to be and sheep to show!

The first show of the season always feels alittle rusty. It was a great day with beautiful weather. The kids dusted off the cobwebs on their show skills and were able to see where their lambs placed. Acknowledgement of where the kids need to grow and how to better their lamb projects isn't always easy but it is necessary for personal growth. These are valuable life skills they will take with them forever.

We (Mom) learned that we will now be using a spreadsheet of supplies needed to bring to the show. This list will be in the show barn, a copy in the truck, suburban and tack box, as well. This way we will have to check off what is packed in the trailer so the reliability isn't solely on the word of a teenage. If you know, you know.

First show down, many to go!

Kittens! They are the cutest! Almost as cute as lambs!

Last Friday - Zaria and Seamus finished 8th and 5th grade. We celebrated with a trip to the ice cream shop!

Silas, Soren and Stig all go to school until June 10th.

Summer break is nearly in sight. We have our first sheep show this Saturday so we are busy washing and clipping.

Feeling like a badass farmgirl lately!

I finally gave in and let Billy teach me how to drive a tractor.

Memorial Day weekend.

First and foremost, we remember and express our deepest gratitude to those, men and women, that paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect and serve our great country. We are the land of the free, because of the brave.

This weekend was spent working in our rye field, dodging all the weather, cutting, raking, baling, loading and wrapping. We had family and friends over for supper and a patio party with a fire and s'mores. I planted some flowers in my planter and tub. We will see how long they survive. I learned how to drive our IH 1086 by myself. And finally, we got everything prepped and ready to bring sheep to St. Dominic School for a farm day in their parking lot.

Our first campers of the season arrived yesterday afternoon. I was caught off guard as I wasn't expecting them until Friday but, of course, we made accommodations!

The kids were excited! Here's to: summer days, sunshine, sheep and sleeping in the camper with Nana and Papa!
