In June 2016 we sold Cedar Pond and moved over the mountains and far away. We now live in Deer Park , WA where the weather is a bit more extreme than Cedar Pond's and in spite of the challenges we're rejoicing in life in our new home with field and forest just outside our back door. God is so good to us !

Whimsy & The Puyallup
Look at my birthday present ! My daughter is holding my new German Shepherd puppy. I named her Whimsy. She is 9 weeks old now and since this picture was taken her other ear perked up. She has been very easy to house-train and a joy . I have already had her with me in the sheep pens, and plan on teaching her to herd sheep. But that will be later in the spring. For now I just want her to be exposed to my sheep, their sounds & movements. She isn't afraid of them, nor is she aggressive. We are going to have so much fun together !
I spent my birthday preparing for our annual September tradition, taking sheep to the Puyallup Fair. This is a busy time, and for the next week I'll be occupied with the fair. Goth ( my Jacob Sheep ram ) can tell it's that time again too and he even seems resigned to his 5 day stay. Last year he appeared to enjoy the crowds gathered 'round his pen. He would stretch, lift his head high and strike a pose for them.
I'll be back to blogging after the fair. If you're in the area ( Puyallup, Washington ) stop in at the Animals Of The World barn & say "hi ". You know you want to Do the Puyallup !
Oh no - Kathy you've put the Do The Puyallup song worm into my head!!! I know you'll have a great time there and I look forward to reading about it - and to hearing more about your sweet Whimsy
Oh Kathy Whimsy is so beautiful and Goth sure is going to attract the attention. Love your present your daughter is very wise. Happy Birthday and I wish I lived closer I would surely go to the fair. Hug B
Happy Birthday! That puppy is adorable. Have fun at the fair. We've suddenly had temps in the 90's again. I hope it's a little cooler for you. I hope your honey arrived safely. Let me know when you can, as I've never mailed it in a box like that. I know this is a busy time right now. I'm feeling it too. Your tea party looks like so much fun and I love all of your pretty dishes. Glad your husband is blogging again!

Congrats on the new puppy. How cool is that !!!
ReplyDeleteYou actual do the fair.
I grew up going to it every year.
Loved it.
I went a few years ago but it had changed so much from what I remembered. A few building had been replaced.
If for some reason I get there this year, I will for sure look for you.
xo,
