What a wonderful baby gift for this homesteader.  Nothing better then a momma pig and all her piglets.  Thank you to my wonderful neighbor who started it all.

Flicka

I think Flicka is wintering well, far from wasting away anyhow!!!! 
The Jacobs Family would like to find a wonderful little person who would like to take ownership of Flicka.  She is a wonderful kids horse.  Gentle, loving and easy to lead around for beginners. 
Or can be riden alone for a more seasoned little person.
We will only interview seriously interested families.  Please feel free to contact me.

Renew and Reuse

This was a very fun project.  I have little kids ask me if they can have a drink.  Multi-use for shopping, recycling, swimming or for those activities that just need a bag to stuff things in.

Not crafty-save me your pouches and ask nicely for one of your own.

January Fun


Oh What Fun We Always Have, Here on the Jacobs Homestead.  Catching two of my female geese so they can go live with Rupert,  a male goose desprately needing companionship.  Good Luck Girls!!!

The fun continues as we prepare for lambing season.  Heat lamps hung, straw in the stalls and ewes are vaccinated and getting fat.
