7/24/2008RAIN RAIN RAINRain rain go away, come back another day……………. Will the wool on our sheep ever dry out? I miss my ewes! I can only visit them once a week and it’s a challenge to stay away. They are being looked after by the landowner, and yet, I do worry at times. Especially during the severe thunderstorms and lightening. So far so good though. I have some great news! I have been offered a three acre pasture only 3/4 miles from my home! This in Thanks to God, I’m quite sure. I’ve been praying and believing it this for some time. There is plenty of fence work to do and mowing. There are predators, bears and coyotes, that pass through the land, so a guard animal is required. This fact is obvious and EZ has agreed that we need a guard llama. I have him picked out already, he’s a young gelding "Mario". I am hoping to get him soon so I can learn how to handle him properly. This is a good time of year to get a llama and he’ll be able to be with the rams for the summer to get acquainted with sheep. He’s bred by my friend and has incredible suri wool. Be Well, talk to you later.

The roses are in bloom now in my gardens. Many colors and many sizes, all alluring and captivating, as they tell their tales of really how hard the winter was. Surely they know more deeply than we mere humans. Yet, in the sun or in the middle of a down pour, the roses are just fantastic! As for the sheep, well I don’t think they can get enough of the green stuff. At least not here. So in honor of my (blank) birthday, I’m moving the brood ewes over to their favorite pasture inWorthington. How is it that they get a present on my birthday? Hum. It will put a smile on my face, once the move is complete and give me some relief to know they are in good hands for a couple months. I’ll then have the ram stock here and there will be plenty of pasture for them. It’s been a good sales season. I’ve managed to sell the stock I needed to in order to keep my flock at a reasonable size. I feel great about the buyers and know the sheep are in good hands. Thanks to all of you for helping make both my life and their lives improved.
