Welcome from the San Francisco Bay Area. I live across the bay in a little man made island called Alameda. We can garden year round.

I can't believe he's so gentle with her. Such a good dog. I wish Mary had a little lamb. It's fleece was white as snow haha. Wish I was there to help you with all the work Bay! Mary

All this time I thought it was to sell more pies!!! haha Mary

More questions haha. Will you keep all the ewes? How many rams will you keep if any? Mary

Bay, silly city gal question here. Could you use sprinklers to water during the summer or is it still too hot for the grass to grow? If you use more water with sprinklers does your bill go way up? I see farmer's watering their alfalfa here even with our drought. Maybe it's different in...

Ducks, I had a sweet Rhode Island Red. I cried when she died. She was never vicious. Mary

I have no frogs. Darn city living. Lol Mary

Going to be 64* and sunny today! Being sunny is what makes a difference and makes it feel so nice and warm. Going for my walk at 9:30 today. It will be 56* then but I know it will feel nice and sunny. Just need to make sure I walk on the sunny side of streets, haha. Mary
