Another Set of Twins!

We left the house for only 2 and a half hours yesterday evening to go visit my parents.  We carefully checked with the sheep before we left and they assured us they were fine.  When we arrived back home we were surprised to find a beautiful set of twins out of Limpus CeCe and Windswept Bravo.  One blettet ewe and one tri-colored bersugget ram.  All are doing well this morning.  We have three more ewes left to go and our two does, Sunshine (Kinder) and Nellie (Tog), both bred to a pygmy buck.

More Lambs!

We were blessed with another set of twins on Tuesday, March 25 from CenturyFarm Mary and Windswept Bravo.  Two blettet marked rams!  I just love the "mutton chops" they seem to have.

First Lambs of 2008

Here are our first lambs of 2008 and we are off to a great start!  Two white ewes out of LostLakeFarm Phoebe and Windswept Bravo. These twins arrived on Wednesday, March 19.  Mama and babies are doing fine!

Easter Ducks!

Here's a pic of our new Easter ducklings we picked up yesterday at a couple of local farm supply stores.  We picked out 4 Mallards cause we thought they were adorable with their pretty colors, 2 white pekin cause Matthew just had to have a white duck and then we were lucky enough to find some Khaki Campbells and we took 4 of those for egg production.  I'm not sure if there is anything cuter than a baby duck!

Berry Blue Shetland Yarn

Here's a pic of some Shetland yarn I just finished spinning.  I dyed approximately 7 oz of white Shetland roving with 10 packets of flavored drink mix (Berry Blue flavor).  It turned out to be a very vibrant turquoise!  This yarn is already sold but I'd love to do some up for myself now.

Lambing draws near!

Well, lambing is just around the corner and we are getting excited here at Redbud Lane!  We have two goats expecting too, mmmm, fresh goat milk!  We should be seeing babies on the ground in about 2-3 weeks, I hope to have a new camera by then so I can get some really good pics to share with everyone.  

I'm Back!

Well, things have been pretty busy here at Redbud Lane and I sort of got out of the habit of posting to my blog.  We have been busy with homeschooling and now I've taken a job 3 days a week at the local paper and became a dealer for Schacht spinning products.  I'm still trying to keep up with the housework and spin and get the birdhouse gourds painted and ...... you know how it goes.

Anyway, I'm really going to try and do better about keeping up on here.  After all, lambs will be here soon and I want to get their pictures posted.

See you soon!
