This is the difference between sheep and goats. Goats always want whatever is just out of reach.

Sorry for the light posting this week. We’ve been running ourselves crazy getting the house unpacked and settling in. Everyone is super-happy with the new place. I can’t tell you how lovely it is to walk out my door in the morning and see my flock and Cini and Sabine. My heart is so full right now.

More tomorrow, including our struggles with bad cell service and the horrors of satellite internet.

In the meantime, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has already purchased a 2010 share. Your support is overwhelming, and ensures that Juniper Moon Farm will be here for a long time to come. We still have shares available, but we anticipate selling out before Christmas.

XO

How wonderful is that???!!!! It is akin to me looking out my window and watching *my* flock of deer – all named of course! May you continue to find Peace in your soul!

It looks blissfully beautiful. I’m so happy for you!

bam October 22, 2009 at 5:57 pm

OK – maybe a herd of deer. But, if they come to see me on a regular basis, can they be called my flock?

HissyStitch October 22, 2009 at 5:58 pm

Mmmm, I grew up on an acreage in the country, and the sight of all that free, open space gives me such a lovely feeling.

Anna October 22, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Yay! Pictures! I live in Fredericksburg and take the trip to Charlottesville relatively often (the Whole Foods there is much more pleasant to visit then driving north to the crazyness in No Va) I cant help but wonder what side of C’ville you are on. It looks gorgeous! Im so glad you found a new place to land!

Jennifer King October 22, 2009 at 6:16 pm

What a wonderful site. The flock look so peaceful, even if y’all are running around like chickens. Speaking of chickens….

Maggie October 22, 2009 at 7:41 pm

It looks perfect to me! Congrats!

Nancy P October 22, 2009 at 7:46 pm

What beautiful pictures. How wonderful to wake up to the sound of baaing from your flock. I can’t wait to come visit.

Sarah October 22, 2009 at 7:50 pm

OMG, that place is beautiful. I’m so happy for you! xoxo

Maureen J (mljan) October 22, 2009 at 7:55 pm

Wonderful pictures! It’s so gorgeous. They all look so good, and there’s a huge pasture with tons of grass and very little mud.
The fences are very nice, too.

Can’t wait to see the new pup with his elders. What a sweet group.

And It’s so good that Erin has come in out of the cold of a porch. Every woman should have a room of her own.

Laurie October 22, 2009 at 7:56 pm

How beautiful! I’m so glad you’re settling in. Unpacking is such a chore- don’t forget to take a day off to relax a little bit!

Carol Gibbs October 22, 2009 at 8:11 pm

It is beautiful. The flock and you are where you are suppose to be! It was worth everything you all have gone through. Now, you can just move forward. Congratulations to all three of you, you have done a great job. Annie, thank you for all of your help too! I am glad you are close and can come often.

Jan O October 22, 2009 at 9:04 pm

Cini is happy because you are happy and more relaxed (hey, I watch the dog whisperer) xo

Louise Edsall October 22, 2009 at 9:18 pm

Hurrah Hurrah… I knew you all would love Virginia.. yea… I am soo happy that it is all falling into place. Please please I want to come see you all…just say when and I can be of assistance! The flock and Cini and Sabine look content.. enjoy… I love this!

Starla October 22, 2009 at 9:32 pm

Welcome to Virginia and the dogs are definitely smiling…definitely.

Cindy Telisak October 22, 2009 at 10:02 pm

What a gorgeous place – I can feel the peace and contentment and relief that at long last some upheaval has ended. May you make it your home in every sense of the word. I hope sometime things will work out that I’ll get to see it in person–I’ll be with you in spirit for the big photo shoot! Break a leg! xoxoxoxo

What a beautiful sight with all the happy critters out in the pasture! Did the old tractor come with the barn? Tractors are seriously useful.

Kate October 23, 2009 at 5:40 am

I look out my front door and see a flock of…neighborhood kids and cars and houses. All good, but oh I long for the fields and the sheep. What I love most about the Fiber Farm community is that we share each other’s lives, bound together by a love of wool and what goes into creating it. So I AM looking out my front door at :”my” sheep through your eyes. If you want to see city life you can look through mine! Any interest in Intro to Philosophy? That’s next on my day’s agenda.

Susan aka reddirt October 23, 2009 at 7:57 am

Oh Susie and Erin…it’s beautiful. A good place for a new life. Can’t wait to be there!!

Kristen October 23, 2009 at 8:18 am

Welcome home! Everyone looks so happy and the place is just gorgeous! Cheers!

Benita October 23, 2009 at 10:17 am
