Whether you have kids or not, Sunflower Houses is a wonderfully whimsical book to add to your garden library. The illustrations are sweet and sentimental. Who knew there were ballerinas (or princesses) hidden inside bleeding hearts? "If you gently fold back the hoop skirt of the bleeding heart, inside you will find "princess "Di" Centra". Try it!This is a view of springs past, gardens in the front and Pomeranian geese.

well.. who knew? about the ballerina in the bleeding heart. That is really neat. Beautiful peony! The peony itself looks like a watercolor painting! It would be a beautiful picture to frame and hang on the wall. Adorable lambs too.
Home to a beautiful flock of registered Icelandic Sheep in Northern Illinois. 2011 was is our ninth season of lambing. We’ve worked hard to build a flock that encompasses all the aspects we love about the Icelandic breed--hardiness, exceptional meat conformation, superb maternal instincts, prolificacy and outstanding fleeces. Please look around and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. We offer quality breeding stock, both mill spun and hand spun yarns, roving, and raw fleeces.

Wondering about the names of our sheep? "Most" of our sheep are named according to the year they were born, especially those born here on our farm. Our first lambs had "A" names, so this being our 6th year, our lambs all have "F" names. It makes it easy for us when looking at our flock to know the age of the sheep. The sheep that we bring in to our flock sometimes have their own names, or I'll rename them according to our flock year. On this blog, I'm trying to post the oldest ewes first, then I'll move on to rams, then lambs.
