Follow us on a journey of farm living and getting back to basics. Lovin' time at Coon Hollow Farm. Our Olde English "Babydoll" Sheep and their lambs. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Is hay for eating or for playing? Our littles angora babies are now 2 1/2 weeks old and I was watching them nibbling here and there. I gave them some pellets and hay and they went right over and checked out the pellets, but the hay was for playing and hiding! Can you find the 4 bunnies in there? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I work in a Nature Center and am lucky to be able to take care of an Observation Hive there. It often needs to be controlled because it only has 3 1/2 frames of bees. Yesterday I removed 2 frames of bees, brood and brought them home. Place another hive body on top. A queen cell with a larvae in it! 2012 Maple ...

It amazes me how big she looks when she is in full coat. This picture shows the depth of her wool. It amazes me how healthy and thick she grows. Just look at her little body! I began ...

The added brood did not net a new queen so I wondered and there it was down in the lower hive body! We also have...

Among them was this Structo Artcraft Loom! What I love is it came already warped and ready to go! This loom is known as "the work horse of looms"! Links to this post. I then ta...
