After re-taking all the pictures of the calendars this morning...I guess my photo skills peaked somewhere back in the early summer. The colors on these are better than the first try, but still not good. I color corrected them as best I could without setting up a third photo shoot and just included a screen shot of the back cover so you can see what they should look like. Sigh...
I used the same format as the last few years so there are fun big pictures and lots of little pictures and a story-ish caption at the bottom of each month.
You know Pinot's going to be there.
Sweet Lily got a feature.
Of course the horses.
And crazy Archie.
I love including a night shot each year.
Air Fryer (the chicken peeking in from the left) noticed that she didn't get a big picture (oops), but almost everyone else is there.

Everything is basically the same as in past years. The calendars will stay at $25 each and I will still only charge actual shipping costs. The shipping itself is where things might change a bit.
The post office has still not found my package mailed August 28 that is still lost somewhere IN one of their post offices...but they don't exactly know where (thanks AI :-/). I have heard so many horror stories lately that I really don't know if I want to trust them with anything anymore, even if they are somewhat replaceable if they lose them...or several of them.
Tim printed 100 calendars. There's no longer a cost effective way to add on a few more if we run short. And if we run short because of how many the USPS loses, I'm going to be really cranky. How does everyone feel about UPS?
Local folks...I'd just come pick them up. If you'd like to come out to the farm for a visit, we can do a fun 'sheep side' pickup option (please make an appointment). For anyone near Lexington, a pick up at Tim's shop is an easy option, too. We will also have them available on Saturday for the Hug a Sheep Day farm party.
As always, if you'd like to purchase a calendar or anything else from the farm shop, just send me an email with what you'd like and where it should be shipped. I'll include an invoice and return envelope and you can send your payment the old fashioned way.
Please don't chance sending cash anymore due to above mentioned mail issues. Checks are easiest for me, but I can also figure out a PayPal invoice or maybe even Venmo if that's preferred.
Am I missing anything? Any questions?
