A small update from this corner of the earth
I´ve been baby sitting a German Shepherd for friends of mine, for 14 days. It was really nice to have a dog in the house again, and I got a hiking buddy just as enthusiastic in the woods as I am.
He´s one year old, and training to be a police dog, so I had free reins with environment- and search training. What a nose on this guy! I look forward to see how he develops in the future!

"Where´s the beavers?"

I´ve also got two new lambs in the freezer. I´ve gotten a really good price on one year olds, and find I enjoy the taste even more than the lambs born the same year.
I´m also considering getting a small herd myself, of the breed "Norsk Villsau", a very old and healthy breed. The meat is wonderful, and their skins are very popular.
Time is going to be decisive in the decision, but I hope I can manage

Early Easter celebration with my brothers
They needed handles for their cute little viking axes and halberds, purely for reenactment purposes, so we went out looking for Ash but ended up with Birch and Rowan.
And yes... I know I really should wear a full protection kit when handling a chainsaw, which I do when I´m cutting for more than 10 minutes or bigger/more difficult trees. So if anyone wants to point that out, I already know. I was just lazy!

Happy chickens patrolling the hood. I have three chickens brooding on eggs now, so I suspect we´ll have tiny yellow ones wandering around here soon.
