New additions to our family

We have two new Calves on our farm. Their names are Valentino and Xanthipe.  Valentino is a male, and Xanthipe is a female.  Valentino looks a bit like his father Joseph (our bull).  Xanthipe is all brown.  They are both very cute, and Valentino is very friendly.
Profile of Joseph the bull:
Joseph is a brown and white large bull. He has sired many calves in his life. And is quite friendly, but he will head butt, and can be very dangerous when he does this. And he is very protective over his herd.

We are also getting ready to start plants in our greenhouse. Soon we will be extremely busy with onset of spring weather. But for right now, the ground is still snow covered.

February, not much gardening

Hi! I'm Francesca

I live on a farm. The farm I live on is called Oakmanor Farm. This year we are starting a CSA (community supported agriculture) we and I have spent a lot of time making posters and stuff. Wow, I can't believe I'm staring a blog!!  So back to the farming stuff, here, in Nova Scotia, there is a lot of snow right now. The poor animals (cows,horses,cats,dog,chickens) have to wade through two feet of snow! And (cringe) we are supposed to get more snow tonight. If you live in the city won't understand why I don't want a lot of snow (but maybe you will). The reason is because I have to shovel and remove snow. Not fun!! It's OK the first few storms of the year, but now it's getting kinda boring. I would much rather be listening to music, learning Latin, or reading Anne Rice novels.   I know I'm jumping around all over the place.  So am I boring you yet?  Wouldn't surprise me.  So...I'll tell you a little about me: I love horses; I love listening to the radio; yes, my name is Italian; and my fave  colour is lime green; oh, and right now I'm listening to Enrique Iglesias.   Well time to go start chores.    Francesca :)  

P.S. does any one know how to post pics on a blog? I can't figure out how to this.
