The Little Rascals Farm
I stitched 4 photos together to get this panoramic view. |

Turk - 2 year old Shetland Ram
He likes to ram the hay bins so it gets all over him. |
|
|
|
Misty - Shetland Ewe 2 years old
She likes to burry her head in the hay and it gets all over her face! |
|
|
|
Carmel - Shetland Ewe, 5 years old.
Shy usually but if you have grain she'll be your best friend! |
|
|
|
Mel & Spot - Alpine Milking Goats
Breakfast for the girls is a little alfalfa and some sweet feed and kelp. |

Gardening Experiment
I used tires to overwinter some potatoes, hopefully in the spring we'll have a large crop. |
|
|
|
|
|
Strawberry bed - started with 4 plants earlier this spring!
|

|
Garden compost pile,
hopefully we'll get some wonderful compost out of what is left of last years garden composting with all the 'new' manure from the animals. |

Japanese Plum Tree
It's only 2 years old, given to me by a friend from her garden. The parent tree is about 25 feet tall and a lucious purple in color. |

Raspberry beds - after the sheep got out and 'helped' trim them down.
|

|
|
Weaving is peacful in the 'can' with only the birds and animals to disturb me.
We ran electricty out there so I could have lights and a heater if I want but so far if it's too cold to be outside I'll be found inside knitting with no desire to weave! |

Loom with a view.

Angora Yarn
We spin our rabbits wool into hanks of lucious yarn. |
|

|
Peaches - French Angora Doe, 6 months old.

|
Iris - German REW Hybrid Angora, 6 months old
|
|
|
|
Iris - just before shearing.
She gave us 8 ounces! Can't wait to see what her adult coat will weight in at! No rabbits are ever hurt when taking their fleece, we carefully shear their fur like you shear sheep. |
