Promise Acre: Our Journey

Well all 3 bred does, including Holly had litters!!! Am super excited! Have 24 kits in the boxes.
Had deposits put down on both Barbie and Nibbles. Barbie and her girls will be picked up this afternoon then I will deliver Nibbles and her boys this evening. Puts us back to 6 sheep. Ruby hasn't lambed yet.. she's either getting closer or in heat. I am leaning towards her being pregnant at this point as her udder has some swelling and it's been too long for a normal heat cycle.
Garden still needs tilled but we've been crazy busy, baseball, 4h and dh was roped into helping remodel at our church... not that those are bad things. It will happen.

Well down to 6 sheep, Ruby is getting an udder so may have more before less. Got a guy interested in Smoke and her ram lamb, it happens.
Rabbits and bunnies are doing well, have lost 3 kits but I expect to loose some. Really exciting to watch them grow. see my kindling thread for pictures. Have also had 2 does go through false pregnancy. Twilight was done within a week but 7 month old Naomi still is pulling fur. hopefully she stops as there's a couple shows coming up and she's one I wanted to take. Wish I had room to breed both of them.... might after the 2 upcoming shows. Husband says he can see me setting up cages in his garage... I do have more to put somewhere
only 4 more days of public school for my son.
garden is 2/3 of the way planted!

Garden is 9/ 10 planted, working on weeds already.... school is out...baseball almost is done. Bunnies are growing well, all 21 of them. And.... all sheep are SOLD....(really wish there was a backflipping emoti) ewes left today, RP tomorrow but all are paid for and I paid for 99% of my camper with their sales. now Duke can come home. It was very crazy, a local couple called, came out 20 minutes later, made an offer so boom they're gone. We'll I need to go finish planting.

Congrats! I'm sure you're very relieved

Talk about right place right time!

It's very odd, we have 3 empty lots... but it's a good feeling. No more stressing about getting the sheep sold. Been busy in the garden and helping with VBS. DH has a field of hay to mow if the weather holds and he gets time. Bunnies are doing great, am probably going to set up some cages in the hay shed.... it's going to be very difficult to pick my keepers, both Holly and Alena's bunnies are on track with their ears, then Elsa's being shaded.... well keeping her 2 does, not sure on bucks. We showed the polish and 2 young vlops Sunday. Did fine, Judge was very generous in his comments.

Bunnies are doing well. Horses are fat. Garden is growing well. Set up 3 more cages, in the hay shed... kind of feeling cramped with 31 bunnies in 17 cages... fortunately the bunnies will be 8 weeks next week and hopefully some will be sold by then. Though am growing most of them a while longer. Only 2 of the 21 buns are not on track to make the SOP!! Makes it hard to decide who stays.
Went camping last weekend. Had a great time, biked a bunch. It was good to get away even though I came home in the mornings to do chores, only was about 10 miles away.
Back to debating on Duke... the riding horse I can "borrow" from my Mom. DH has a hay field to make hay on but it's very overgrown now and... IDK as always money is tight.
Well happy summer to my BYH friends!

Glad things seem to be going well for you. Hope you have a great summer too!

We made hay for the first time in 2 years!!! yes I was on the wagon, luckily dh helped when I got behind. So thankful, after his accident I really didn't think it was possible, he cannot carry 2 bales at once anymore but we got it done! Now I have to move bunnies out of the hay shed... we will have a shed full of hay when I am done. Bunnies get moved to the sheep/pony lean to.... I need a barn! Our neighbor is letting us cut her 2 acres also... probably not as much hay but it all helps.

glad to hear you could get some made!
