The Weekly Bleat: Shearing Time!
It seems just like yesterday that we sheared our sheep; however, it was actually May. These photographs were taken right after Clover and the other nine sheep were sheared last spring. Now, they’re all woolly and ready to be sheared, again!
Beautiful Eggs!

Friday Farm Favorites
I love days like this one. After having coffee, Farmguy and I spent the morning taking care of farm chores: cleaning out the barn, drenching the sheep (de-worming), trimming hooves, and feeding the chickens–Farmgirl bliss! Happy Friday!
First Post Challenge
The wonderful and creative Judy, of Edwina’s Episodes has challenged me to take part in this new challenge. I am happy to participate as it’s a look back at my very first post. I started this blog to share my journey of restoring my family’s ancestral home and the daily happenings on Green Hill Farm. This includes lots of memories of growing up on my family’s 100-year-old farm as well as the antics of my menagerie of sheep, chickens, cats, and dogs. I first began this blog by sharing three retrospectives. The first retrospective reflected on my reasons and inspiration for moving back to the place of my youth. It’s a bit of background history about my family as well as special memories I have of my grandmother. All in all, I think it was a good starting place. Here are the rules: Copy-paste, link, pingback, etc. your first post. Identify the post: introduction, story, poem. Explain why it was your first post. Nominate five other bloggers. Here’s my first post: https://fourthgenerationfarmgirl.com/2014/09/22/green-hill-farm-a-retrospective/ My nominees: Beckys Bubbles Blog Joeyfullystated Random Writings on the Bathroom Wall The Wicked Chicken Full Circle Farm
