Almost Spring

My parents arrived here 2 weeks ago and it has been over-the-top busy ever since - especially given a couple of complications: my sister, Martha is in the hospital in Kelowna so I have been trying to visit her a couple of times a week and my parents brought a Norwalk virus type thing with them that has been working its way through our family.

I love it when my dad comes. He loves to build things and he loves the farm so I have a long wish list for him when he comes. Top of the list was to build me a new chicken coop and I am getting the best, most skookum chicken coop ever!

Here are some images of what we have been up to:


The coop is coming together - can you tell how awesome it is going to be?



















Here is the growing rabbit family - 10 healthy babies growing fast - they made short work of the young grass here in the chicken tractor. They are really fun to watch as they dash about.















Here is the first thing he built - lambing pens. Aren't I looking professional now? One has now been moved into the sheep pen.
















But we are still waiting for Brida to 'pop'.














Snowdrops and crocuses are blooming.















My parents - on their way out on their date night.
















And here is Rhiannon - the latest one to get the flu.
