Farm Addition

On Tues, June 9, 2009 Born Sunday 7pm - I was fortunate enough to come home from work to see Phoebe's water had broke. So I hung around and was again fortunate enough to see that things weren't happening after the feet were out about 4 inches - so I checked and found the baby's nose and tongue all hung out - very scary - so I pulled hard as I could and that managed to be enough to free the baby. I believe she was very close to suffocating, so I'm grateful for the opportunity to assist and to have a healthy little girl - One Spot. Pictures taken at 24 hours - yesterday evening.

Fall on the Farm aka Thanksgiving Future

On Thu, 11/6/08, Did I tell you I'm published? An author e-mailed regarding our {former} Romanov sheep. Since they are fairly rare in the US, she was having trouble getting pictures. So I sent her pictures, and now we're in her new farm book, Breeds of Livestock, published by Storey Books {farm books}. The pictures aren't ART quality - but show the breed well, so that's what they wanted. AND I got paid {a little } - so that counts!
