"Fhoto" Friday

Cortney worked with our friend, Annabel, on Wednesday morning. She works for her during lambing season, as well as off and on throughout the summer, as needed.

                                       Moving the lambs, after weighing and marking for sale/butcher.
Heading back to their pasture. Somewhere in this herd, are Brownie and Sonny, the bottle lambs Cortney raised up this Spring.
                              "Dillon" ever watchful, he is one of two lamas our friend's have to protect their sheep.
This has been a particularly hard year for our friends, as the losses due to coyotes has been high.*sigh* A beautiful view of the valley.
"Jake" and Cortney," Bringing up the rear!"  Jake is a Canaan dog and he's in training for herding the sheep :o)

Almost there! Look at the beautiful view from the hill.

                                             All done, taking a break on Cortney's foot! Jake is such a character! LOL!
                                            The scenery is beautiful.
                                          Heading back to the house( left to right) Lacy, Trixy and Jake. Jake and Lacy are Canaan dogs and Trixy is a mix( beagle and ?)  Cortney loves "the gang" and they love her, of course taking cookies for them helps!*wink*
                                           Thank you Annabel for permission in using your beautiful photos :o)

We've been busy, busy here harvesting, preserving and cleaning up the garden. Bless Cortney's heart, she collected/ harvested all of our cukes, zucchini and her pumpkins yesterday while I was canning and making supper.
She ended up with a wonderful harvest of pumpkins from 6 plants,they produced 35 pumpkins!  She's been taking orders, we'll keep 5-6 for our use and she's hoping to sell the remainder and some Indian corn bundles, advertising with a sign at the end of our drive.

Blessings for your weekend everyone :o)

Faith,
She loves the sheep and of course her dog buddies. Well... actually most any animal she loves and they ALL seem to love her too. I believe there is something to Animal Whisperers, she could be one*wink*

Cortney looks like she is having a ball! lol. I hope you are getting a good price for your pumpkins. They are $5 each around here!

SFG,
She does have a ball when she's working the sheep and she's good at it, keeping them calm. :o)
We're asking $4 each and the smaller ones( only 3-4 of them), she's selling for $3 ea. So far so good she's sold 11 or 12 pumpkins and several bundles of corn :o)
Blessings,
Kelle
