simple country pleasures…peaceful

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 …

Why A Shepherdess?

Thursday we had our first Fall lambs born. They came here without any trouble. Somewhere between birthing the first one and the second one the ewe walked off and forgot she had the first one. The first lamb knew who her mama was but the ewe said no way is that mine.  So I built a …

Why Am I So Drawn to Ghosts and Memories?

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!  But I …

Country Music…

I was listening to the birds this evening just before dark…to the frogs…the crickets chirping…the sheep bells tingling softly in the sweet warm night air…a dog in the distance barking…every once in a while a stronger wind blows…I can hear the cows in the distance mooing, and the sheep calling to each other good night…SIGH… …

Old Sheep…I love them…

The Grandma’s as I call them have become quite special to me… Last December when it turned so bitter cold here for two weeks I kept the Two Grandma’s in the barn in their stall, we also brought our two horses in, and put them in their stalls. It was bitter….cold…. I started feeding the Grandma’s …
