Paper Whites

I love to see beautiful plants sprouting and blooming during the winter months.  Helps the yard look somewhat pretty!  My Paper White greeted me this weekend.

Sweet Peas and Nasturium

Getting really excited now.  My Sweet Pea and Nastrurium seeds have also sprouted!

Lamb Shows

We are so excited to report that the shows have begun.  In Nueces County the Atkinson family is proud of their Reserve Champion Southdown.

Abby is the little girl on the right in the back row.  Congratulations!!

Also hear today that the Cargill family had a Grand Champion at the South Texas Youth Stock Show.  Congratulations to Cameron.

Hollyhocks

Checked on seeded flowers and tomatoes today.  My hollyhocks are just starting to sprout.  I am so excited.  They say that seeding your own instead of purchasing from the nursery is something like you have never felt before.  Kinda like watching your child grow.  Look each day in anticipation as to what the little ones are up to. 

I am so enjoying my garden shed/green house.  Ordered some heirloom veggie seeds the other day.  Waiting patiently for them to arrive.

Seeding flowers

My garden shed/green house is beginning to look like I want it.  Full of starter seeds.  Yes, I do have my 3 different kinds of tomatoe plants, but I now have several flowers started.  Hoping that they will grown and I can plant early,early spring.  I haven't got my Larkspur planted yet, but do have Poppies, Hollyhock, Delphinium, Nasturiums, and Foxglove.  I will also spread some Poppy and Larkspur seeds around in my yard.  Through out some Bluebonnet seeds a couple of weeks ago in my yard.  Hope I don't forget and move them down before they get big enough for me to realize what they are.

Get your nails dirty!!!

Local County Livestock Shows

Haws Club Lambs have been sold all over South Texas.  This coming wee there are 3 county shows:  Karnes Co., Nuesces Co., and Kleburg Co.  Good Luck to all our buyers and kiddos!!!

Friday the 13th

It's a Boy!!!
We had our first baby lamb of the season and on Friday the 13th.
I think that means bad luck to those that might show against this young man in the future.
Can't wait for more babies!!!
