I haven't had much of a chance to use Tim for chores this winter. It's been quite icey and little snow. This photo was taken in a previous winter.

My new yard has a big view in every direction. Although we are fairly exposed to the weather here, we also have a panoramic view of the colorful Prairie sunrises and sunsets.

The ewes are fed their hay in the paddock everyday and here they are waiting to be let back in the late afternoon.

I've been starting some of my young dogs. You can read about them in the Border Collie pages.

Star working on balance, the natural instinct of most young border collie dogs.

I had a ewe produce these twin lambs earlier in January. A mistake when a ram jumped out one night in August. Here is my view of the whole thing from inside the house, on my "cow cam", the best $1000 I ever spent on the farm.

A fresh winter's morning looking back across the yard site. I was hesitant choosing the bright red for the horse barn roof but it looks really sharp set against the winter's snowy backdrop.

Ewes and lambs on grass in late summer.

If anyone tells you that Clun Forest wool has no value, well here's the result of many hours of hard work, taking my Clun wool, washing, carding, spinning and then knitting it into a beautiful sweater.

A winter's day.

What a difference a year can make. This was taken when I looked at the farm in August 2010. It's the otherside that I should have taken the photos of. Holes in the roof 2 feet across.

November 2011, with the help of friends we managed to save and rebuild the workshop. Some insulating and interior work still needs to be done but it looks just great.

Darren putting the final piece of ridgecap on the shed. Time was running out for the afternoon. I knew we had to finish it that day so that Darren could get on with his own work.
