Tending fine-fleeced Shetland sheep and a whole lot more on a small acreage in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Looking for action
See why we call him "Action Jackson"? We can almost SEE him growing; he's certainly bigger in just a week. Must be all that fresh air, green grass and exercise!
How do you manage to have all that green grass in December? We are covered in snowdrifts and ice here. I'm jealous. What a sweet looking little fellow.
Oh, it is VERY green in the winter here; it belies the mud underneath and the grey skies above -- ha! I get a little jealous of everyone else's snow, because it sets off the sheep so nicely and keeps them cleaner than my VM and mud. But I will admit that I love it here. When we lived in the Midwest, most of the winter it was brown or white -- more brown than white. The green is much more soothing to my eyes....
Hi Michelle - thanks for stopping by my blog :-) I hope you'll visit again! No new fiber or yarn until mid summer is really going to be a challenge . . . but I'm going to go for it!
That is the CUTEST puppy I have ever seen! Congratulations on adding him to your family. :-)
I'm a blogger - I love comments! Oh, and you DON'T have to check that box proving you're not a robot; you'll still be able to leave your comment without it!
Looks like Jackson has found something to herd :)
ReplyDeleteHe is going to be a gorgeous dog Michelle.
Be still my beating heart.

But I can live vicariously through you ;-)

Jackson is so adorable! What a sweet little fluff ball! I'm so happy to see you've added him to your home.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you weren't flooded either. It is good to live on a hill. :)
