Turkey Trot

It appears to be quite impossible to get a great photo, but the wild turkey hens and poults are seemingly everywhere.  They spent several days in the pasture with the yearlings and Samson.  They hung out by the chicken coop with Belladonna.  They spend a lot of time in the old barn hayfield, crossing the barn lane to disappear into the woods. They recently amused the lambs by spending a great deal of time in their pasture, and the lambs amused themselves by following the line of wild turkeys.  Not a big surprise, really… we all know that our sheep love a parade!

Bella’s Give-Away

Our big girl, Belladonna, celebrated her third birthday on Sunday!  To thank all of you who have watched her grow up here on the blog, she is having a give-away.  To enter just comment on this post.  You could win a special gift from Bella!  (Sorry… it’s so new that it has not arrived.  No… it’s not a puppy.)
Comments will be closed on Sunday at 8 p.m.  Comments are closed.  A winner will be announced shortly.

Good Company

Had some wonderful and very excited company on the quest to capture photographic proof that the pasture pear trees are already blooming. 

Belladonna, our not quite two year old Maremma guardian, was quite the enthusiastic and entertaining partner.

You can see who took center stage… two pictures of the pear blossoms… probably thirty of Bella.
She sure is a beauty!
