Bath Day!!!

June 25th~17 days old

This week...

-We got our first dose of wormer

-We opened our eyes

-First Bath!

-We got our first collars!

It's been a big week around here for 6 snugly little pups!  Since their eyes opened they have really begun to adventure around and want to check things out.  We have been able to see their personalities really start to come out!

The Puppies Have Arrived!

The last couple weeks we have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Aggie's last litter of puppies.

They're Here!!!

June 8th, 2016

Aggie is such a great mom, she clearly loves her babies.

They are all chocolate, 3 girls & 3 boys!

F1 Labradoodles

The have already had their first visit to the vet and all looks great!

Dixie Girl

Early May, the Farmyard had to say goodbye to one of it's founding members, the Australian Cattle Dog, Dixie.

At just 6 weeks old, Dixie became Kylee's.  

For years Dixie went everywhere with her and became part of the family.

She loved to be around kids, being outside, being a momma dog, and most of all loved Kylee.

Spring has Sprung at the Farmyard

It's the first day of spring, and we are ready here at the Farmyard!

We had some old pallets piled up and made some quick&easy flower boxes...

I also made some solar sconces to go over a "welcoming garden" at the top of our driveway!

We finally got a new frame built for our greenhouse after it was destroyed by a storm last year.  Can't wait to get some seeds started this week.  

We already have a few potted tomatoes that we will keep here close to the house for easy pre-dinner access!

Our temporary strawberry bed is looking so good and I can't wait to see sweet red berries growing!  Next year I plan to have a more permanent bed set up for them.

I'm trying something new, a Pinterest find, and started some potatoes in a tall trash bin.  We will see how this goes the next couple months.  They first sprouted about a month after I started them.  They aren't tall enough to add the next layer of dirt yet.

We have definitely had some spring-teasing weather lately, with some days in the 80's!  The critters around the farmyard have been feeling it and I believe they to are ready for spring!
