We have been lucky to have my sister and her family stay on the farm for the past few weeks.  They are in the process of moving back to Saskatchewan, much to our delight. 

They have been a great help while they have been here, whether with weaning lambs, combining, cleaning up the garden or other odd jobs around the farm. 

We’ve also enjoyed having my niece here, at just two and a half, she is lots of fun. She loves the animals and riding in ‘the nellybelle’ (our side x side). 

Here she is sharing a moment with Thor. It’s great to see these dogs, who are so protective of their sheep, be so gentle at the same time.
