We had a Great Day at 

Rising Meadow Farm

 on 

Sheep Shearing Day!

    We loved learning about the sheep, meeting new friends,

 eating Lamb Chile for the first time, 

and watching the sheep being sheared by 

Master Blade Shearer Kevin Ford and his assistant Joy.  

Thank you Ron and Ann, owners of 

Rising Meadow Farm 

for the open invitation to share in this event

 on your beautiful farm in Liberty, North Carolina!

Is it Love or Feeding Time?

This is the scene that greeted us this afternoon

when we pulled back the big barn doors! Is it 

love, or is it just feeding time? Either way, 

it made our day and our hearts leap with love!

Sassy Annie Comes Home....

It took three people to load Sassy Annie into the horse trailer!  

Soothing Sassy Annie before the long ride to her new home.

Sassy Annie arrives at the farm and inspects her new surroundings.

I think I'm going to like it here...Anywhere there are babies,

 there is love, and where there is love, there is life!

A Visit to Our New Little Miniature Donkey-My How She is Growing!

 Love Those Long Ears!  

You can get an idea of  how small

 she is standing next to my purse!  

She is warming up to Gabriel and I! 

She is the Cutest Little Thing!  

Welcome Little Jennet to Shaky Tail Farm!

This is our first miniature donkey at Shaky Tail Farm.  

We cannot wait until  she can come home

 with us in November 2011, until then,

 we have to visit her at White Oak Creek Farm.  

This little girl does not have a name...Can you help us name her?
