I guess the Free Mason's plans to take over the world is having a set back.

Who is the little cutie in your avatar?

That is my male Icelandic Sheepdog, Moose (Vinlands Erik) when he was about 6 weeks old. The goat kid in the old avatar moved to Georgia mid July so I wanted to change it to something that would be living here.

How are they with the chickens? Do they chase off predators? For my next dog, I want more of a livestock dog, but not one that barks constantly. I was looking at Anatolian Shepherds, but it says they are big barkers.

Did you see the Harvest Moon last night? It was gorgeous. I took some time lapse video but it didn't come out really good so I am trying it again tonight with different settings.

It was a beautiful moon last night.

Advice from my food healing class, nothing burnt or charred.
Delicious. The herbs are Basil, Rosemary

That's a nice shot of the moon. I hope you have better luck with the time lapse tonight.

Thanks. He's good with the chickens. If they are free ranging he will take smaller groups to the larger groups. They would certainly warn you of predators, but they typically/traditionally live with their family at night rather than their herd, the way a livestock guardian dog does. They are quiet as a mouse

. OK, I can't do that, most are barkers, you really have to start right away to teach the quiet command. They are really smart. I picked the breed because I wanted a herding dog, and these were supposed to settle down inside better than some of the other herding breeds. I guess they do, I have 2 sleeping at my feet right now. They are also smaller than Border Collies and Australian Sheepdogs which were two of the other breeds I was considering. (I very well could have puppies sometime next year)

Okay, I said no chicks for awhile, I was mistaken.

Look what just hatched!

What is that tiny,precious thing?

It's a green singer finch. She was sitting on three eggs, that was the first to hatch. There's another egg to each side of it's head.
