I can't keep up with all the mowing needed on the farm now that it is dry enough to get on the fields! It is an everyday chore right now!

Everyone loves waterfalls. I’m sure we’re not the only one to go against TLC’s advice – ‘Don’t go chasing waterfalls’. Whether looking for a way to cool down or you just want to admire their beauty, you’ve come to the right place. Although not an exhaustive list of the island’s beautiful waterfalls,...

It has been a busy spring in the barn. 26 lambs this year and the biggest one yet and the last to be born. A 7 kilogram black boy with a small white patch on his head! As cute as can be!

Our beautiful coast!

After a day of fishing my Dad took me to a small sea lion hang out for an evening swim. Music: Bloodflood - Alt-j (I DO NOT OWN THIS MUSIC)

Such a beautiful spot and within walking distance!

Summer isn't over quite yet - the weather forecast looks pleasant heading into the weekend! Time to bust out the camping gear for one more time and head to Quadra Island? 360 pano of Rebecca Spit shot for the We-Wai-Kai Camp Site.

A beautiful morning on the farm! The sun is shining on the pond, the geese and the ducks that are visiting but the sky to the west is slate blue behind the green trees!

I just saw Harry or Henrietta our Great Blue Heron that regularily vists, sometimes with a friend, swoop in and land on the edge of the pond. Such a pretty sight on a wet and dreary day :)

The cottage is empty for the first time in months as our guest has gone back south. The sun is shining and it is a lovely day with a hint of spring to come!

It has been a great fall on the farm with lots of harvesting wrapping up. I have been blessed with a wonderful guest from the US who not only loves our part of the world but also likes to help around the farm!

I enjoyed having two lovely artists spending time painting at the cottage and hiking many of our great trails here on Quadra.

Early summer visitors to the farm!

It has been a busy spring and summer with guests and all the farm activities. I am home from a wonderful trip to Scotland with my daughter. My first vacation in years! I am so grateful for Marvin and all he did looking after the farm and the cottage for me while I was away. This past year and a half has been hard in many ways with the death of both of our almost 32 years old mares, our last pygmy goat at over 12 years of age and both of our 16 year old Border Collies. I may get pygmy goats again sometime in the future, I would like a companion for my young collie and if my son finds a horse he wants it will come and join my sheep who are all doing well :)

We live in a wonderful part of this world!

More cuties!

We had a friend, Marjorie Hadden, visit the farm and take some pictures of the sheep. Here is a selection of her photo's!

04/14/2015

Well it was a busy spring break! We had three differents sets of guests in the cottage while all the lambing was going on. The last ones left today! I must say we always seem to be blessed with great people who come to stay with us :)

04/12/2015

We have 21 baby lambs now and they are all doing well and so are their momma's. That is the lambing done for another year :)

04/10/2015

Lambing continues and we now have 18 bouncing babies! All has gone really well and all are big and healthy. Two more momma's to go and back to work in 4 days :)

Another monster born! A cute 14.33 pound boy but it is actually better for all if we have normal sized twins rather than the huge singles or sometimes small triplets.
