I looked down at the stall and saw one of the lambs standing on Maisy eating out of the creep feeder but by the time I got the camera it had gotten off. It made for a cute picture even without that.

She is such a pretty girl, too....I've always loved her eyes....it is like she has eyeliner on and it really sets them off....

Brains and beauty too! Don’t you love what these dogs can do.

She loves her sheep!

Her eyes are even prettier from about 6" away. I have always loved the way she can communicate. I don't always read the signs right away but she is persistent enough to make sure you can figure it out eventually.

Gabbie is the same way, Mike.....when she was young she wet the floor and got "punished" for it...before I realized she was demanding to go out....I had to apologize and told her to make sure she gets my attention.....boy howdy!!....she only had to be told once..........I've learned to "listen" to her much sooner than her staring nose to nose with me.....

We got all of the weeds out of three of our raised beds today and got all of the tomatoes planted that we have room for. I didn't count but there should be 30 something plants in there. We only planted a dozen bell pepper plants since I have a feeling we won't run out of last seasons peppers till mid summer or later. If that's the case we will dehydrate the leftovers from last summer and make bell pepper powder. We only planted a couple Tabasco pepper plants but I only use that to make a vinegar sauce for putting on top of greens.

I have a flat of Crimson Sweet Watermelons started and ready to transplant but I haven't got the big bed weeded yet so it will have to be another day.

I just got back in from feeding. I'm finding it hard to believe that Max was never handled at his old home. He is gentle and likes scratches and shows literally no sign of aggression toward people. I'll still keep an eye on him but so far I can see another Ringo type boy. He comes when I call his name and waits patiently for me to put food out but prefers when I hold a bowl out to him since that's when he gets his scratches. He did come out of a ram lamb testing program though and they get handled daily so that may still be in his memory.

His winter coat is all gone now and he looks like a different boy.
