The babies have arrived

On April 25th at 3:00am Kota delivered triplet girls while I slept. I heard a small cry and thought someone had once again locked our cat Mrs. Dash outside, when I went to investigate I soon realized it was not Mrs. Dash, it was the new kids. I was able to help Kota clean and dry off her new girls. Kota is a wonderful mother who is very attentive to her new family. The babes are nursing regularly and seem to have grown already. Kota had a bit of trouble but I think we are through the worst and can just enjoy this wonderful time.Our ladies are Violet, Blossom, and Willow. Willow will stay on here with her Mom, Violet and Blossom are going to hopefully be adopted. I would truly love to keep them all, but I don't think Madison would be too keen on that :(

We've run into a problem with our new packages of bees, the pick up date was pushed for the 2 time back to June 4, which happens to be the last day of school for my class, something I cannot miss. If you know of anyone with packages to sell, I'm very interested.

My seedlings look great with nowhere to plant because of all the rain. There is plenty of time I suppose.

The chickens are doing better we got 6 eggs tonight, not great, but better.

This a very busy time with the soaps, wholesale I've just been ask to make soap for a wonderful lady's catering company. I'm so excited to be working with her! I'm also doing wedding favors for a small reception. Upcoming shows are Shannon Bauer's House Party this Friday and Saturday, please see the invitation below. Sunday is the Summit Street Fair from 11:00 till 5:00, it should be a great day! May 12th is the Madison Green Fair from 3:30 till 7:30 at the Museum of Early Trades. The new babies should be making their debut at the Green Fair. Today we made Zucchini Flower Soap, the house smells so good, it's so cool to be able to create something so beautiful and useful.

I think now that we've actually had an animal give birth here we can be considered a real, but small farm, Weeping Tree Farm to be exact.

Time to check the new kids and give them their nightly hugs and Kota her graham cracker treat.
