Apple Orchard

We planted 4 apple trees this year. (We got a fantastic clearance deal at Home Depot in July.) Because of a dry spell we watered the trees frequently. In addition, to prevent Japanese Beetle destruction, we have applied homemade Cayenne Pepper spray. (See Japanese Beetle post for details & recipe.

Lamb: Pinkie Pie

Name: Pinkie Pie
Breed: Cotswold
Date of Birth: June 2011

Story: Pickie came to us from Old World Wisconsin. She was rejected by her mother and Old World did not have the staff/cabablities to take care of her.

We nursed (bottle fed) Pinkie several times a day for several weeks. Because of this she is very friendly, knows her name and will approach you in the pasture (unlike our other sheep).
