Morning Bray Farm

You can imagine with five dogs, the Hairy Hacienda needs its fair share of vacuuming.

While everyone else does their best to avoid or attack the vacuum, Whisky absolutely loves to be vacuumed. He begs for it.

Seriously? Look at this face.

The sky was simply gorgeous yesterday afternoon.

For Nancy, the color versions. 

Last week, Farmgirl asked about Bernard’s size. While we think that he probably won’t grow but another inch or two taller at the very most, he definitely has filled out over the last six months.        

This is the very first picture we took of Bernard last August when he was a year old.         

And here is our Goober today. We can’t imagine life without him. (Thank you to Aunt Linda who took all of Bernard’s “today” pictures last month.)

Are you smiling?

Momma and Baby Boy are American Blackbelly sheep. When they came to Morning Bray Farm one year ago, Baby Boy was just a week old. Their extremely docile nature makes them such a calming influence on our farm.

This is Baby Boy at one week. He was so cute you could’ve sopped him up with a biscuit.

This is Baby Boy today. Isn’t he handsome? We can’t wait to watch his horns grow.

Momma is the best mom we’ve ever seen.

If one of us has something the other wants – which is generally everything, even if it’s something as simple as a stick… the other’s gotta have it too.

Opposite to Bernard’s often childlike indifference to (or need to eat) the camera, Ellsworth seems to have a constant, yet gentle curiosity each time someone is out taking pictures.

We know spring is coming. How, you wonder?

First, the tulips.

Second, our neighbor turkeys are talkin’. The boys are doing their very best to impress the girls.

Yes, Mom is obsessed with eyes. She just loves them.

Like a typical 18 month old, it seems that Bernard never stops moving. Ever.

Mom asked us not to wait until Sunday Cinema to introduce you to Meggie because she didn’t want us introducing you to the devil on a Sunday morning.

That being said, sometimes things are better explained in movies. This is Meggie. She thinks she’s the boss of the barnyard. We love her, but she’s, well, umm… realllly bossy.

This behavior is probably what caused Mom to have a dream that Meggie was the devil. We wonder if Meggie’s head is going to spin all the way around one of these days.
