As a shepherd, it has been an education and sobering weekend. I have gained a lot of knowledge but realized that I have a lot more to learn. I was excited to go to the Common Ground Fair this weekend as one of Maine’s leading experts in Katahdin sheep was giving several presentations. Since I […]
I was hoping that I would have house progress to report, but that’s not the case. However, I do have a new shed. I am ecstatic about the shed, and we will make more progress on the house eventually. It was interesting being back at square one and building again. I was pounding nails and […]
I have enjoyed nearly every aspect of my new house. It’s in a great location, there are some amazing neighbors, however they are not too close, and there is plenty of grass for my little lambs to eat. Despite not being finished, I love the house itself. There is one thing, however, that I vehemently […]
There is little progress to report on the home front. It has been a busy summer, so the house has taken a back seat. After spending so much time the past two years, it has been nice to do some other things. This past week also marked the one year anniversary of my Dad’s brain […]
It has been just over three weeks since I got my two little lambs, Maggie and Molly. After having them about a week, my Dad thought that a pair of little white lambs would be a great addition. So, I was on the lookout for a pair of little white Katahdin ewe lambs. I mentioned […]
I have been living in my new house for close to five months now, and I’m loving every second of it. There are still many things that need completing, but just being here this spring has been such a blessing. It is a gorgeous place to be in the spring. There were times that mud […]
I’ve had really high expectations for the loft. It has taken a long time, but we are finally closing in on finishing the loft. The biggest thing remaining was the doors, which were completed over the past week. There is a lot of storage on each side with living space, a small bathroom, and closet […]
It’s been another momentous week as I continue to settle into my new house. For the first time in many months, nearly all my possessions are under one roof. Until the beginning of this week, I still had a room full of stuff at my parent’s house. Later this spring my whole family is going […]
Progress continues at a steady pace on the house. We have gotten to the point where there are only a few big projects left, but lots of little cosmetic items to keep plugging away at. As long as we have worked on this house, it still sometimes seems surreal that we are at this point. […]
It has been a monumental weekend at the homestead, and one I won’t soon forget. However, I’ll start with a story from Thursday night. It was warm and raining on Thursday, and I had a few early mornings at work so I went to bed early. I was awakened to the loudest noise that I […]
