I worked at the farm both Saturday and Sunday mornings so I got to spend lots of time with the newest resident, Lola:
She is the dearest little thing. She and Teddy followed us all around inspecting each chore we did and sampling the various animal foods. We would often leave pans of feed on the floor for the chickens, turkeys and ducks but that is a thing of the past with old Lola around! She is a pig in every sense of the word! We have to really watch her or she will no longer be ‘miniature’!
On Saturday afternoon I took Thor and Mick’s (the llamas), Frances and Bert’s (the big sheep) and Teddy’s fleeces, which had been removed the following week, down to Rainbow Fleece Farm for processing. They will wash and card the fleece so I can spin it into yarn for the silent auction fundraiser Heartland is having in August. They were having their ‘Shearing Days’ open house and it was cool to see all of their animals. Their peacocks are so beautiful. I wish I hadn’t left my camera in the car!
