Late last night, I googled a 'random number selector' and it drew the comment made by TheCrazySheepLady ~ of "Punkins Patch"

 

Send me your snail mail address Sara and I'll

get your "sheep on a cart" out to you!

As a special thank you to our 100th 'follower',

Patrice will be receiving her choice of shape and fragrance in a bar of homemade goat milk soap.  Welcome to "our family" ~ I'll need your info to get that in the mail to you, Patrice.

I do want to apologize for taking SO long to get this post up today!

I must have partied too hard yesterday!  I actually slept until NOON!

That is just not heard of around here.

And then, I woke up to

Thunder Snow!!!

The Piggles desperately trying to get into the chicken coop, while I was out feeding animals and gathering eggs when the snow let up!

DREAM says...

"Aren't you supposed to EAT those Piggles or something???"

DREAMER!!!



Sharing our Birthday and Farm Friend Friday...

DREAM says...



"It's my BIRTHDAY!"

"I'm FIVE YEARS OLD!"

"We're going to have a PARTY!"

"I'm supposed to be the one talking, Dazzle."

Hold it a minute Girls!

It's not your birthday Dreamer. 

It's going to be the Blog's birthday, this Saturday!

It's been five years since I started writing "A Shepherd's Voice".

You were right ~ we ARE going to have a party!

There will be games and contests and prizes and ALL SORTS of fun.

Stop back tomorrow for details!

But First...

Don't forget Farm Friend Friday!

Go visit Amy at Verde Farm for long list of fabulous farms that are blogging about life in rural America!  Have fun!!!

"But don't forget to come back for my, er...The BLOG's party on Saturday!"

Visitors from Blogdom...

Last Friday, I had the great pleasure of meeting Deborah, from Antiquity Oaks, and her handsome son, Jonathan.   Deborah purchased my sweet, little ram lamb:  Storm Warning and Jonathan  did the driving when they came to pick him up. 

Poor Jonathan may have been a BIT overwhelmed by a certain, "giant puppy", but Deborah quickly befriended all of my animals...

She even managed to get Dream to pose for a picture.

(imagine that!!!)

;-)

We had a wonderful visit and I am absolutely amazed by Deborah's broad scope of knowledge and enthusiasm for her incredibly hectic life.  Not to mention that she's just a VERY nice lady.

DREAM says...

"That  Deborah was pretty nice (she gave me cookies!)  and  that Storm Warning lamb sure was a real cutie.   I know that Mom was sad to see him go, but it means more pumpkins for  ME!  I keep reminding Mom that she's just got to look at the bright side of things!"
