We Have Farm Fresh Eggs

I was tickled pink this morning when I found these two eggs. I tell you folks, these egg shells feel like rocks compared to the ones you buy in the store. Can't wait to have them for breakfast this weekend! Thanks to the Sheila's!!

Hard to break such perfect little eggs!

Not Hard to Eat these DELICIOUS morsels!

The Sheila's Up CLose & Personal

The girls are getting very friendly...ok, not friendly, more curious as time goes by. They are growing and provide a source of amusement to the dogs, cats and people. Love these birds!

Handsome Charlie

Our young pup is already 7.5 months of age. He hasn't gotten very big, but has gotten OH SO Handsome. And Smart......this boy listens as if he understands English. We are so very blessed to have this guy.

We have Animal Feng Shui

I am always so proud of the menagerie we have here and how well they get along. We have many breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments, BUT they all seem to care about each other. I love looking out and seeing a yard full of sheep, dogs, cats all hanging together. 

When these two play, it can get very rough

You can tell how trusting the sheep are (Charlie is getting knocked in the noggin...AGAIN)

We pick up A LOT of poop in our yard

I love that I can trust two young dogs to be with pregnant ewe lambs

The Fox & The Hen House

We haven't got our chickens yet, but our resident Fox has decided to check it out. She is actually stealing cat food and does not respond when we yell at her from the deck. She was surprised by a go cart in the drive way today, thus we are wondering if she is deaf....how the hell do you sneak up on a Fox with a go-cart......

Seen her sneakin in from the living room window

Comes back out & puts some Eau Du Fox Stink by the door

Stands guard by her new found stash of food

I was yelling at her & clapping my hands from the deck, and didn't even get a look

Had to get a new Camera

When taking pictures in the barn the other day, my $450.00 Canon Titanium got dropped on the lens and broke. I love the Canon Point and Shoot, but chose a less expensive model (to drop again at some point). So had to take some practice shots today....seems to be working well

The Very Important "Close Up" feature is good

The, not so, close up still life....boring

Great Action Shot....trust me this dog never stops moving...

Distance....good, but kind of brown and boring

Distant Shot......wrong setting...I'll get it figured out

The Dog Known as Shy

We have had this beauty since she was 6 weeks old, BUT in the 13 years we have had her, it has been impossible to get photos of her. If she even thinks you have a camera, she's gone. Well, I was on the inside of the window and she couldn't see me, so I got this amazing picture of our elusive Blue Eyed Shy!

Charlie Trying to Behave Himself

I caught this young man snapping at the face of a ram lamb when the lamb was pushing him with his nose. So I tuned him in, and now he checks to make sure I see that he is behaving properly....He's a smart dog, that Charlie!

Ok, Guys...No Hitting...I am being watched

Did you See....I am Being Nice, Right?

Charlie & Chrissy Love to Play???

I Love Chrissy & Snow!

These pictures look so vicious, but these two just love each other......I think

Charlie is Growing Up

Looks like a Bateman or Brenders Painting

Old Soul

How to make a dog "Shut Up"?

Charlie seems to think every one (animals and people) are his best friend and well, that just isn't always the case.....

Hey Chris, I can talk with my mouth full, can you Chris, Huh, can ya?

Hey Bob, Wanna be pals, Hey wanna? We can pal with the sheep too, Bob....

And when I was new here, I had no friends, I have stories about that....

Uh, wait a minute, I lost my train of thought....hang on, it's coming to me

AND ONE TIME AT BAND CAMP, I was tellin this kid, Hey Kid, you new here....

SHUT UP.....JUST SHUT UP WILL YA!

A More "Personal" Blog

I will be slowly moving our "Pets & Family" posts to this blog. We want to share this aspect of our farm life, but need to keep the main blog for posts that will interest our customers. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned
