What is there to say about the best dog that ever was? My heart is broken! I have given some thought to this fine dog… and how, why he was mine from the time he and I laid eyes on each other! He was a soft wiggly bundle of furry fun! With the prettiest …

Sitting in our living room on this grey rainy day makes me feel so peaceful…calm…all is right in my small part of the world…and it is! I watch as my sheep eat the fresh, sweet, green, tender grass…and I wonder…just, how good it must taste to them? It has been 160 days at least …

As I walk along this beautiful fall day full of life, beauty, the sounds of God’s creation….Sheep bells, horses gently neighing to each other, the soft breeze in the dried leaves that fall softly and happily to the ground…the birds singing…my ducks and Bruce the Goose ….I think farm life… is the best!

This morning dawned bright and beautiful. The golden rays of sunshine on the pond were a site! I could hear the music from the sheep bells as the lambs did early morning races and their Mamas tried to see the under control. It is all so funny to watch… I had a lesson this morning …

This evening…KAT, Journey, Tallie and I went down into the big field in front of our home to watch the lamb races. We were not disappointed! It was more like “Lamb Shenanigans ” …they ran, laid down, played in the terrace, leaped straight up, caused their Mothers to call them and yet continued with their …
