I can finally post this...

Yesterday, with Daniella's help we finished her Christmas present.  I am quite pleased with how it turned out.  This makes my second finished quilt and my first full sized one.  Take a look...



Here she is modeling it on Aunt Jenn's bed.




Then on another note...there is more beer brewing in the house...this time it is a stout variety, so it will be very dark.  Here in the pot is the wort cooking....



And on still another note...Kidding time is fast approaching!  Fern who is our first to be due (March 2) is absolutely HUGE!  I expect to see triplets from her.  She has in the past twice so would not be unheard of.

I checked her past records and see that even though she is carrying multiples she has always gone past due!  In fact with twins she goes two days past, but with triplets it  has always been FIVE days!  Crazy goat!

I'll post as soon as anything happens.  The excitement is building!

Onward and Upward.

Time for a blog...

Been a while so thought I would just make a quick blog.  Good ole' Michigan is showing us what she can and can't do...just a few days ago Greg and I ate our breakfast outside on the patio next to the greenhouse.  It was so warm and nice I just had to.

It was warm enough and sunny to sit out and eat our breakfast.



Then the last two days, we worked in the buck barn adding a new stall.  It will be used by the new kids coming in just about three weeks.  It wasn't bad working out there for February days.

Now...well now is a different story...we certainly won't be eating outside this morning...it is something like 7 degrees out and that is actual temperature!  Wind chill is got to be a real killer!  The snow is drifted around the buildings and it looks like it could be just days until Christmas!

This has been one very strange winter!  Really warm and not much snow.  Very Strange!

Today is nice and sunny...but colder then a witches...well you know what I mean.

Onward and Upward!
