Lights (sun), camera (mine), action!

Here are three short video clips to show how beautiful it was at the Oregon Coast yesterday. In the first one, Jackson demonstrates how excited he is to be at the beach. (You can hear him in the second video, too.) In the second one, Brian demonstrates how excited he is to be at the beach (with Jackson still doing the Aussie thing in the background). The third shows three generations (Rick, his mom, and our son) plus Dozer and Jackson.







Enjoying the best of Oregon . . .

Peek-a-boo

This was the scene from our hill as I was leaving for church yesterday morning - Mt. Hood in bright sunshine showing through a break in high and low clouds. After church and lunch we headed for the coast with the dogs for a lovely afternoon on the beach. In other words, stayed tuned for a photo-heavy post!

More to come from . . .

The hay is always sweeter....

All the sheep want to be somewhere else. The ladies in the wooded lot with Bunker want in the fold. The sheep in the fold want OUT, as does Annabelle in the Ram-ada Inn. Only Blake and Browning seem satisfied with their accommodations. In just a little over two weeks, we'll upset the fruit basket again....

This morning I finally took a few moments out of my hectic schedule to sit in the fold with Bart and the non-breeding girls. One of my goals during breeding season is to completely win Bart's heart. As a lamb he really wanted to be a pet, but I did not encourage that as I didn't know if he was destined to be a breeding ram or a fiber wether. By the time we wethered him, he had become a lot more cautious of people, although I can tell he still feels drawn to human attention. Before I took the above photo, all four of the sheep were lined up in front of me for pets and scritches - even old Inky, who has never been one to seek attention. It was a wonderful way to start the day!
