Farming season is definitely here! We've been busy around Lazy Danes Farm. So far we've planted lettuce, peas, carrots, tomatoes, basil and peppers. Still to plant are beans, cucumbers, corn, okra, potatoes and whatever else catches my eye at the farm store. I'm also hoping to put in a couple of peach trees this year, but haven't felt like digging the holes yet.

In livestock news- the baby goats are ready to go to their new homes. Yay! We have 2 does and 2 bucks that are for sale. Does $50.00, bucks $25.00. They're all 3/4 Nubian, 1/4 Nigerian. The does should be good milkers- I'm getting over a gallon a day right now from Scarlet and Petunia. We made our first mozzarella of the season - it was gone as soon as it had cooled enough to eat. YUM!

Now, how about a look at the cutest Bulldog ever! Butter will be 5 months old on May 6th. She goes for her last puppy check up this week and we'll make an appointment for her spay then. She's growing so fast and is deceptively heavy. She only has a few more puppy teeth to lose, too.

For the girls Spring Break we took a day to bake treats for Chuck's team and deliver them over lunch. (The key to happy-at-home-kids is lots of activities.) We decided on peeps cupcakes- devils food cake, butter cream frosting, jelly beans and Peeps. They were very cute and yummy, plus we only ate one each ourselves out of 24 cupcakes. Win!
Not much sewing recently, but that should change now that all the birthdays are past. I did make the girls a bulldog t-shirt and bow for easter, and an in-the-hoop purse for one of their friends birthday. I'm hopping to get cracking on some leashes, collars and bandanas for our furry friends.
Better get busy!
