Any Excuse For A Cookie Party

Picture heavy, but as I'm usually the one behind the camera, I don't have many pictures of me with the sheep and there are things I love about all of these shots.


I look like I'm giving clear directions on how this is going to work.  Everything completely under control - hahaha.  Silly Lila at my left elbow. 


"Me Momma!  Don't forget me!"  Cute little Blossom.  And B. Willard ;-).


"Or me, Momma."  Ewen McTeagle, my big baby.


Graham had already had way more than his share of cookies by this point. Here I'm trying to sneak a cookie to Blossom.


Having to reach across him to sneak a cookie to Renny.  That poor, skinny sheep needed a cookie for Pete's Sake ;-).


And as soon as my back is turned...  Graham, Graham, Graham.


One of these sheeps is not like the other.


I don't really like to have my picture taken, but I'm glad to have these pictures, especially this one.  What a good dog. 


Sweet little Blossom.  She looks like I'm reassuring her that she'll grow up to be a pretty sweater some day too.


She loves to have her face rubbed.


More Annabelly. 


Look at these mug mouths...  Woolliam, Graham, Boudreaux.


And Ford.  I never thought he'd come around and join the cookie club, but I underestimated the power of the cookie.  Or at least watching all your friends eat cookies ;-).

Photos that make your heart beat with happiness!! Very, very nice!!

Michelle said...

Yes, photos to treasure, even for the cameraphobic. :-)

And Renny? I don't know what she is, but that's no Shetland! Shetlands are SHORTER than Jacobs. (We won't talk about girth . . . ahem!)

Susan said...

I see there was a reason to name him Graham (cracker)... and oooh, that Blossom, that face. Wonderful pictures and so nice to see you with your wooly, fluffy group.

Aaawwwwwwww!

With her tiny tail, she has to have a goodly amount of Shetland in her. I feel pretty confident in a Shetland/Hampshire cross. Both breeds are common enough around here and the Hamp would give her the, um, larger size and account for her big, droopy ears :-).

Christine said...

Renny, honey, we need to sign up for a program! I'll call Jenny for you. Yeesh.

LOVE every picture and the sweater.

Lori Skoog said...

Beautiful...all of them.

Marion from Hamburg said...

I love all of them!! Little Blossom is so sweet! And this Graham - he really lives up to his name!

Lucky sheep... lots of wool for cover ;-)

Your (Jester's)sweater is really great!

MarmePurl said...

Talented photographer,lovely day, cute sheep, oh Hank, fabulous sweater...
Beautiful, Beautiful Shepherdess.

La tribù della valle dei cavalli said...

beautiful pictures for beautiful moment...it all seem happy and calm but if your sheep are a little like mine, the cooky club it's tough!
And Blossom is still a really cute and sweet baby!
And by the way great sweater!

June said...

Wonderful photos. I don't know why you don't like to have your picture taken...you look beautiful! Love the sweater, too.

janna said...

Just a beautiful sweater. I love the photos with Jester but my favorites are the ones outside with the gang.

Anonymous said...

I hadn't really thought about it in those terms but, yes, it is really very, very nice to see both you and your babies in the same picture!
Pray for Peace

Shirley said...

Awww! This is such a happy post.
Blossom.... such cuteness.
Love the photo with Hank too.

Kim said...

A shepherdess and her flock ~ what sweetness!

Michelle said...

Okay, that cross I could see. There are other breeds in the Northern European Short-Tailed group with tiny tails that are bigger, though, like Finnsheep.

Regardless, that "tub of butter" has LANDED in a tub of butter -- I'm so happy for her that you rescued her!

Auset said...

Sara, you have shared so much of your life and animals with us, it is a treat to have these pictures of you, too. I am so grateful for all your wonderful photos and stories, even the ones that make me weep. Thank you! - Margaret

Alice said...

Its great to see pictures of how the cookie distribution ackshully works :-)
Graham gets every other cookie!
I love the photo of you and Blossom and the way your sweater melds into her fleece.
Great captures of a shepherdess and her beloved sheep.

Pam said...

Well, they ARE called Graham Crackers, aren't they??? Blossom really has grown into a beauty. A very Texel-ish face, but still very dainty. If memory serves from my cookie feeding days, the last photo should be of you laying trampled in the dirt with hoofprints all over your back and empty wrappers strewn about...

Sheepmom said...

I didn't think you could top yesterday's pics but these are even better! That pic of you and Hank is THE best. Everyone is so happy, the sun is out, grass is still green......

So glad you posted all these.

Janice Grinyer said...

you are beautiful...not just to sheep but to us blog friends too!

and at one point in this pic series I thought the next picture would be showing just your hand holding a cookie up while you were covered with sheep...LOL I didnt know they could swarm like bees!

Benita said...

I'm not sure which pic is my favorite - the top one, the one with Blossom getting a face rub or the bottom one with Ford. Ford has lovely horns.

Lovely job with the sweater. May it keep you warm inside and out for many years to come.

amyfibre said...

As much as I love pictures of your sheep, Hank, the cats, etc., I ADORE these pictures of you with your flock. I'm bookmarking for the days when I need an extra smile. Thank you for sharing the joy!

aarond said...

Love them all. They are great pictures.

Brigitte said...

Thank you so much for the pictures of your sheep, of you and lovely Hank! Blossom is sooo cute, I love her :)))

Mary said...

Yay! I'm squealing with joy out here in Oregon! This. is. awesome. Blossom has THE sweetest face. :D

Deb W said...

Love, love, LOVE these pictures!!!

Yeah, we were bad guests a couple of weekends ago and got Hank hooked too. (Hey kid- c'm over here. Ya wanna try something you'll really like? heh-heh)

Will little Blossom get much bigger, or will she always be petite? No Keebs? He even begged me for a cookie through the bars when I was there.....
