Thanks very much Suzy. It’s good to have Cincinnatians stopping by!

Manners – yes! Of course. And I’m afraid about the pig in the garden thing. Rick has been talking about getting a pet pig for months…

Hello! First of all your blog is a delight!I have read everything. Your blue egg story was my favorite so far. I noticed some one from Cincinnati commented as well. We were transfered to Cincinnati 2 years ago from Phildelphia. I can tell you that the writer was correct… Cin is turning into Detroit. I will also agree that I’m a little green with envy with your wonderful life in NZ. The US has changed so much in the last 8 years and not for the better. You both are very lucky to have such a wonderful, refreshing, and happy life. Bets of luck to you both with your beautiful farm.
Later from the mid-west,
-Suzy-

Absolutely Brilliant :)

Thankfully we dont have clever sheep in our paddock. Occasionally they saunter into the garden for a taste of fresh mown grass (and for some strange reason – my Mint – I guess they want to pre-season themselves or something). But they soon wander back out again.

We also learned the “dont run at them” trick. We just open the gate and stand there waiting. I think they like manners :)

Pigs – now getting pigs stuck in your garden is a whole other nightmare.

I learned about chicken speed the hard way. See my post 'Chicken blood on my boot' for the great chicken chase.

I enjoyed reading all about your sheep adventure. Another lesson is that all, and I do mean all, the farm animals can run very fast. Especially chickens. I do believe there are a few of the modified chess player/thinkers in my crowd here too.

Thanks for the visit and comment.
Have a great day.
Pam

I always knew there was something bad about hand sanitiser…

You should have tried to keep them – although they might have outsmarted you in that as well ;-). Sheep are really quite a bit of fun.

Thanks for the chuckle and thanks for stopping by! I think every shepherd has experienced what you so eloquently wrote – that is how we learn – through very humbling experiences ;)

This is hilarious, Jared. Actually I am reading a cool apocalyptic kids books about genetically modified animals at the moment – they can talk and have thumbs and all the humans are dead because they used too much hand sanitiser and caught a virus (hopefully not prophetic!!) – it’s called ‘fog mound’.
