New Look

As you can tell, I've totally revamped. At this point I'm not sure if I'll ever find something I'm satisfied with. It's like rearranging furniture.

I didn't like the fact that visitors couldn't leave comments and the feeds weren't working on my webpage. This may limit my creativity a bit until I figure out how to change it, but I wasn't all that creative anyway.

About the name change...An Australian station can be used to raise sheep. We aren't quite that large though. Also www.dictionary.com says that a station is "a place or position in which a person or thing is normally located.

Back to the regularly scheduled program...Still no more lambs. Ashy was quite rambunctious today though. She was running and hopping around the pen.

No new lambs and it looks as if we are going to have to help the mom out with one of the first two. She has mastitis on one side and so one lamb is fat and sassy but the other is looking poor. I've named one Whiskers, because she has white hairs on her jaws that look like whiskers. She'll be the one to get the bottle. The other one is Ashy. She has white spots on her back. With the temperature change we might have more, but no phone calls from Dad yet...

Update: We lost Whiskers. She went downhill quickly overnight. It makes me very sad, but I've learned after raising them for 16+ years that it happens.

Update II: Sandy the Sheepdog died today. She had been chasing cars with more regularity and one got her. Not a good day really...

Lambing season has officially begun...and on a high note! Numbers one and two came yesterday, both girls. I really think that lambs are the cutest animal babies there are. These two seem to be mouthy and I suspect they are going to be troublemakers like their older sister....wait for it....Trouble. I love seeing all the lambs at lambing season, but I hate the cold, late nights of waiting...and waiting...and waiting. Most everything to do with sheep is hurry up and wait. But then, a lot of things to do with life is hurry up and wait

I've never really had a favorite comic, but I have really started getting into Wally and Osborne by Tyler Martin. You might also see/hear it referred to as On the Rocks. I love the drawing style and the content is clean and funny. While reading through the archives, the artist wrote that it is featured at FunBrain, which is a family-friendly site. I took a quick look and it seemed to be a really cool place.

For those of you that aren't first time visitors (I know. I'm flattering myself here thinking there are any visitors), you might notice the major color change. I'm still searching for the look I want. I also made some tremendous behind the scene changes, but hopefully you won't notice. As always, feel free to give feedback using the email link at the left

Happy Groundhog Day! I'm not sure what the "official" results were this year, but after doing some research, it looks like the groundhogs can be contradictory anyway. I hope it's an early spring!
