A liitle sad but an awesome week

Hello ya'll


It's been a busy, sad and exciting week at the farm.  The days are warmer.  The sunrises have been beautiful...

The sunsets, spectacular...

 everything is GREEN and the whippoorwills are out..

It's been gardening week.  We have been weeding the garden getting it ready for planting.  This passed gardening season was not a successful one.  Because it was so wet last year, Sergio put some clay in it.  As the gardening season progressed the garden became too hard and hardly anything grew and it was difficult to keep the weeds under control.  It took us 4 days to weed the whole garden by HAND!!  We removed all the weeds and all the clay  This morning we had a full truckload of top soil delivered so hopefully we will have a luscious, bountiful garden this year.

We will be spreading the top soil tomorrow and hopefully planting on Monday.

Two sad things to tell you.  After three days of bottle feeding the baby rabbit, it passed away Wednesday morning.  I was mortified when I went into the bunny coop and found his lifeless body in the cage.  Tears flowed as I carried him into the house to tell Sergio.  He did not know what to say poor thing but reassured me that I had done all I could to save him.  Friday morning when I went to the chicken coop a chicken had passed away as well.  This was a shocker.  I noticed no difference in any of the chickens except I was only getting 5 eggs a day instead of six.  This too was upsetting but it didn't bother me as much as the little bunny.  Raising animals is an emotional roller coaster but they have taught me patience, kindness, respect and a different kind of love that I had never experienced before I started raising my "furry" babies. They are always happy to see you and they love you unconditionally (especially at feeding time!!)

The rest of the animals are doing well.  I started weaning Moomoo.  I wanted to just cut out his morning bottle and just give him one at dinner but it was breaking my heart knowing how much he loves it.  I decided to give him a small pepsi bottle of milk instead of a 2 litre one.  He was a little shocked when the bottle ran out so quickly but it seemed to satisfy him.  He is eating his grain very well.

The kitten is doing amazing.  Last night was the first time I didn't put her in the bathroom during the night.  She definitely loves her daddy  more than me which I think is adorable but I definitely am very JEALOUS.  Jaydee is starting to come around but her nose is still out of joint.

Kyana you are so sweet

Lesley and Sergio went out for a nice trail ride with Booboo and Scottie and even Katie rode Booboo this week.  Let's hope they can calm Booboo down so I can start riding again.

It was my mommy's 70th birthday this week end so we had a little party for her at the farm.  My brother John, came up with my two nieces Anna and Alessia.  My baby nephew Adriano was sick so he stayed in Woodbridge with his mommy.  Hope you feel better soon dolly!!! 


Enjoy some pics of the girls feeding the babies and Mommy's birthday.  We are very tired this week but very content that the hard part of the garden is complete.  I think I will try and sleep in past 7:00 tomorrow.  Thanks for reading and have a safe and happy long week end.
