Good Morning World!

This morning started with a bang, we had a just born still wet new lamb greet us in the barn this morning, good job momma sheep, will be a bit to see if she has number two, she is one of my few first time momma’s so I am just fine if she only has one this year, as long as she has twins next 🙂

We are going to need to play round robin in the barn today, we are running out of lambing jugs, so we will need to open up one of the big critter stalls and move three momma’s with wee bobs into it, normally I would just turn them out with the flock at this time, but I am leary to turn them out in this super cold an with the coy-wolf issue, so they get a few extra days in the safety of the barn, playing, growing and getting bigger and stronger while their mothers recover.

This is will open up the other smaller jugs for the just born or the still expecting mothers as they bag up 🙂

Because of the insane power costs in Ontario at this time, (and trust me folks, its only going to get worse), I have taken to doing as much laundry, cooking, and baking and canning as possible on the weekend. I about fell over when I saw the dec/jan power bill so while I snap and snarl at the little amount of power we in fact use and the fact that I pay hundreds in “fee’s) I am working even harder then normal to do the things that use the most power on the off-peak hours.

Breakfast for me -Tea and omlet, Hubby – Hot chocolate and Blueberry cake

Lunch homemade donair

Supper- veggie rice soup, nice an light..

All good today!
