Endless Praise Acres

Just a few photos taken today of what's currently in bloom around here. I'm still learning plant names, so some of them aren't labeled. 🙃
The mock orange smells SO good! And that "little visitor"? He thought he was "hiding" in my front yard. Yes... I need to mow. 😆
Not pictured are all of the weeds that are happy and healthy around here, too!

Sometimes you simply have to pause and breathe in all the good. ❤️

Four weeks ago we were blessed with two healthy litters of Rex babies (kits). Both of these were first-time moms. Psycho had 8 babies (one passed away on day three), and Fire had nine (they're all still doing well). It has been so fun watching them grow!

A couple of recent "wins".

1) Bees are back. On Saturday I picked up a package of bees in order to start again. Unfortunately, while I was installing them, the queen managed to fly away. She was marked (had a light spot of paint marker on her back). I waited a couple of days to do an inspection to see if she had returned. While I didn't find the original marked queen, I DID find another queen. (Yay!). The hive is currently very calm and looking so promising.
2) We have begun separating our lambs from their moms at night in order to have higher milk production in the morning. Yesterday, I milked 1.5 quarts. Most of this was from Katla (the most I was able to milk from her previously was about 3/4 cup). This is SO encouraging!!!

How about you? Do you have any recent "wins"?
