I thought it would be fun to post a photo from each month of this year to highlight and remember all that I've accomplished this year on the farm. It was difficult to choose just one photo for each month. From the most lambs we have ever had, to grazing our newly seeded pasture, to the release of my first farm yarn- 2019 has been a great year for our little flock! To keep up to date with my happenings throughout the year, follow me on Instagram or Facebook: @OrchardViewLincolns. January Lambing began on January 9th and began several months of excitement. February This photo is obviously not of my farm, but of a sheep on its way to market in Kenya. I had the opportunity to travel to Kenya in February and saw LOTS of sheep! March We ended the season with 40 lambs- the most ever! April Lambs on spring pasture. May At the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, I had the opportunity to have my sheep judged by Ian and Louise of the Risby Flock of Lincolns in the UK. Such an honor and so great to have them here in the US! June A VERY wet May and June led to a very lush pasture. It was exciting to see my pasture in full production after seeding last summer. July One of my yearling ewes enjoy a summer evening on pasture. August Breeding season was in full swing in August. September Beautiful fleeces and a pasture full of white clover. October Here is a #nofilter photo for you! There were so many gorgeous sunsets this October. It was hard to choose just one photo. November Shearing day in November resulted in some of the highest yielding and highest quality fleeces we have ever had. December December means time to stay feeding hay again. Pregnant ewes are preparing for another lambing season.

My 2019 was also a fruitful year in my life. I have so many reasons to thank God for all the blessings He has showered on me. As I stepped forward to 2020, I can't help to look back and smile as I remember all the good things that happened in my life. I don't know what I've done right to deserve all those blessings. Now, I wonder what will happen in my life this year, though I'm a little bit scared, I'm still excited to face it with full of hope and dreams. Leave a Reply. |
