Flicker’s Lair BlogArchive for the ‘Homesteading’ CategorySo, ay?September 1st, 2010 by HeidiA few days ago I saw an advert for Soay sheep on UsedOttawa and my interest was piqued. So I started reading a little about them.
ThistlesAugust 26th, 2010 by HeidiI have often been told by friends who raise sheep that I should get rid of the thistles in our fields. While it is true that thistles get caught up in the fleece and are a real pain to remove, we prefer to try to live alongside nature rather than ‘against’ it. Flock expansion!August 25th, 2010 by HeidiI spotted an ad on UsedOttawa the other day (no Steve hasn’t blocked the site yet!) and when I showed it to Steve he thought it was a great idea!

Beer, beer and more beer!August 11th, 2010 by SteveA couple of weeks ago we took the evening off from our normal routine and went out with James and Elizabeth to the Watson’s Mill Beer tasting evening. A good evening was had by all of those who attended. Our willow treeAugust 10th, 2010 by HeidiI mentioned a while back that our big willow tree dropped a branch. It was a very large branch and it missed the house, generator and propane tank by inches. Someone was looking out for us!

The sheep shuffle was instigated by Bill and involved bringing a good number of sheep into the ‘Ontario flock’ from Alberta. Quite the surprise arrival!August 3rd, 2010 by HeidiSaturday evening we had friends come for a BBQ and a few drinks, it was quite late and we had had a few drinks when I heard unusual noises from Willow and Aspen. It was dark so of course I sent Steve to check on them! Calling MulligansJuly 17th, 2010 by HeidiThere was a term I heard from time to time on the golf course that I would like to apply to today – Mulligans – it is when everybody has a bad first shot and you all start again and pretend it didn’t happen! |
