Life Down Wattle Lane v2 - Lost Time

We've just had another beautiful Canterbury weekend. Plenty of sun, very warm, dry & windy.

I didn't have too much planned for the weekend, other than move some dirt, move the sheep and cut up some old deer fence wire ready to be recycled. 

Saturday we had my uncle and cousins visit for the day,  which is always great. I'm really enjoying getting to know family again. There was 3 generations (Poppa, Dad & the 2 Boys) working together on a new lamb pen in the barn for Bootsie. We needed to create a bed so I could get Bootsie out of the caravan. Bootsie was getting a little too comfortable jumping up onto the sofa to sleep, which we all know is Max's spot when he is not sleeping on my bed. Max tolerates Bootsie but that is as far as that relationship will ever go.

With the pen, we all came up with a great idea. Every lamb that we raise by hand, we will add a name plaque to a totem pole, with date of birth... very cool!

Great company, long lunches, a great weekend all in all.



Bootsie is a very unique lamb, and I now have proof he can fly! But is he coming or going....we'll never know!


Lambs are the greatest time waster. But its quality time all the same!
