The Story of Marigold, A 4-H Southdown Lamb

Happy 2016, Everyone! Around here, the year is off to a bittersweet bang, as we will be spending next week getting ready for Farm Show, and then heading up next Friday. There, the girls will be showing their sheep and pigs, and then saying goodbye. We know there will be lots of hugs and tears and it is already starting to feel a little too real. To help her remember her sheep Marigold, Zoe created a beautiful video tribute to her, which you can view below. We hope that enjoy this video, and that it brings comfort to Zoe and helps her remember the wonderful bond that she had with her special and sweet lamb, Marigold, who she took such amazing care of, for years to come...

52 Weeks-1/52

 So, it's been ages since I posted here (on instagram hourly, though;) But I can't seem to let this blog completely go, so I thought I'd use it for a '52' project. The girls are growing up so fast-Max is almost 8, Zoe is almost 11, and Frankie is a teenager at 13!I feel like they are all on the brink of major developmental leaps, and that this will be a watershed year in many ways. Just want to savor every moment and capture them while they are still my babies:)!Slow down, y'all!

Chocolate World, Hershey Park: I think this may have technically been on the last day of 2013, but thought I'd post it for posterity.

This was definitely 2014! Girls home, staying cozy by the woodstove, reading to the guineas. Frankie looking for her 'costume of the day;)'
