The wind was chilly cold as I went to get ready to leave for work. Frost covered the windshield. I am glad I had started my truck before doing the morning feeding chores. When I was ready to leave, the windows were clear. As I drove to work, I came upon a flock of birds,…… Continue reading Spring Beckoning

Kids Grow Up To Be Goats
On November 26, 2022 I went to the sheep auction. There I purchased a baby goat a few days old. I do not know why the baby goat was there, perhaps his mother died or would not accept him or his mother had triplets. People do not like to feed bottle baby goats or sheep…… Continue reading Kids Grow Up To Be Goats

Winds of Change

See Spot Bounce
The last Thursday in November, in the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. A time when families gather to be thankful for each other and enjoy a feast. This year, our Thanksgiving was a disaster. It is hard to blend families. I and my husband were married before and have adult children before we wed.…… Continue reading See Spot Bounce
Sheep and Family
I was not raised as a sheep farmer, but I was raised around cattle and horses. My father would have a few cattle and he had horses for my sister and I to ride. Later as an adult I raised and trained horses. Then my children were born. I shared my love of horses with…… Continue reading Sheep and Family
