A Slice of Heaven Acres Farm

First tarp down with the storm. Make shift hay feeder for the boys put in the shed. But they were insisting on the regular hay feeder so I fixed it back up. Luckily the grommets were not torn and i had extra ball bungie cords. All done under a light drizzle. Success.

Other than being wet, like it never happened, lol

First wave of storm Debby

Wow another beautiful rainbow tonight after our rainy afternoon/evening. Never gets old.

There it is and very faintly a double. Simply beautiful after the rain.

And forgot to post Sunday’s rainbow.

So excited that after all the loud thunder we gave this beautiful rainbow to look at.

Love it when rain gives us rainbows. Glad I got to see it. And p**f it’s gone.

Somewhere it’s getting rain (obviously not here) but rainbows at least we get the rainbow

Guess who popped into the world today?
Momma scout had a baby girl! Jasper is the dad. Beautiful coloring.

Doeling Pepper goes to her new home tomorrow. She is going to a great home with Michelle and to be with the rest of the herd of Nigerians. The first of the babies to leave.

These twin doelings are a month old now. They have been playing during the day with the 2 month old babies with mommas and exhausted at the end of the day. So sweet. Meet Ruby (dark) and rose (light).

Gift hat from Sharon Davis Priep. No truer statement; that’s why it is always in a pony tail, lol.

And then there were 3 more. Lillie had her babies today. 2 girls and a boy.

Carmel blessed us with twin girls this afternoon. Very exciting.

Surprise when I came out this morning. Sophia had her babies all cleaned up and nursing. The white one a girl and black one a boy. First boy of the season.

Belle in labor

Guess who kidded today? Raine was first with twin girls and Belle with a single girl.

Four of the seven girls are very close to kidding. Hopefull for the full moon this weekend.

It’s a quiet day. Both biscuit and Betty enjoying the weather.

Looks like kidding season is about to begin. Maycee is bagging up which means her milk is coming in. Hopefully she will wait a couple weeks to get the pens ready.

I did not know this.

I have local honey in my tea. Alway using a metal spoon 🥄
Did you know that one of the world's first coins had a bee symbol?
Did you know that honey contains live enzymes?
Did you know that in contact with a metal spoon, these enzymes die? The best way to eat honey is with a wooden spoon; if you can't find one, use a plastic spoon.
Did you know that honey contains a substance that helps the brain work better?
Did you know that honey is one of the few foods on earth that alone can sustain human life?
Did you know that bees saved people from starvation in Africa?
That a spoonful of honey is enough to keep a man alive for 24 hours?
Did you know that propolis produced by bees is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics?
Did you know that honey has no expiry date?
Did you know that the bodies of the world's greatest emperors were buried in gold coffins, then covered in honey to prevent putrefaction?
Did you know that the term "Honeymoon" (honeymoon) comes from the fact that the bride and groom consumed honey for fertility after their marriage?
Did you know that a bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for her it is the work of a lifetime.
Thank you precious bees!

Wishing you palm trees and gentle breezes, the sweet smell of orange blossoms, a day filled with love and laughter, and the hope of dreams come true.

Happy New Year 2024

Beautiful sunrise on New Years Eve. Cold at 45 degrees for here. Biscuit checking out the property.
