Twins

Part of the fun pet sitting at my sister's house when she's away is catching a glimpse of all the twins that have been born recently.  My sister's brother-in-law {who also lives on the ranch} raises organic lamb and sheep and while I was pet-sitting her furry critters, the pasture along the road leading up to her house was filled with these cuties....

I wish the kids and I could have gotten closer to them, but without looking as though we were practicing for  mutton busting or maybe, more appropriately, a sheep scramble competition, it wasn't happening.  They're wild little critters and wanted nothing to do with me or my two kids in tow.

So we just observed them from a distance.

Which was just as beautiful......but not peaceful.

"LOOK AT THAT ONE!" ~ Bryce

"THERE ARE TWINS OVER THERE!" ~Paige

"CAN WE CATCH ONE?!" ~Bryce

"CAN WE TAKE SOME HOME!?" ~Paige

And so on, and so on, and so on, until we reached my sister's house.

I love to hear from you! To leave a comment, click on the “Post a Comment” link below. Have a peaceful day.

The Funky Chicken

So, I was at my sister, Lisa's house the other day, after the Portuguese & Spanish wine event that we went to and guess who I found pecking around my car?  Yep, Rosa, the Funky Chicken.  Or, at least that's what I call her. 

Rosa is one of Lisa's three resident chickens along with one big, mean rooster.  The three chickens are totally friendly.  Stripey, the rooster has become VERY aggressive.  Not sure if Stripey will stay around for much longer.

As you can see, Rosa was totally at home in my car.

Very curious, just checking things out.

Lisa has quite the 'petting zoo' going on at her home.  Remember the baby bunnies from a few months ago?  Well, they're quite a bit bigger now and SO tame!  Along with her animals,  her brother-in-law's organic sheep and lamb, llamas, and his hundreds of free range, organic chickens are on the property as well.

I wanted to bring Rosa home with me, such a sweetheart. 

Currently, Lisa is incubating 12  11 eggs (one broke in the car on the way home)  so in a few months I will be able to take a few chicks home with me!  Fresh eggs!  We'll just have to raccoon proof a chicken pen for them. I'll keep you posted :) 

Happy Tuesday!
