Reflection on my 2012 vision board


Vision Board 2012

As I am looking at my vision board I see a whole host of accomplishments that I achieved.   Some tangible, a few emotional and a smattering on self-improvement. A number of them have a very deep rooted meaning now within me.  This is the first time I’ve put together a vision board of this nature and size.  I am so thankful that I did. 

Tangibles
The picture of a handler at the post running their dog is of special meaning to me as I ran my new dog Sally this year.  I had no intention of running her at a trial only after adding her to our home after 4-5 short months.  My focus & commitment was on building our relationship.  That’s it.  Much to my surprise we did extremely well as far as placement goes, more importantly I got to feel for the first time what it was like when a dog gets a hold of her sheep and I also learned there is still a plenty of road for me to travel training-wise too.  I still get a very warm fuzzy feeling when I think about that day.

Zeke and Tweed made huge strides in their herding training as well.  I am very thankful for them.  There were days that I wasn’t sure who had more patience….Me teaching them or them teaching me.  Thankfully I am getting better too or I am pretty sure the lot of them would have made me wear a t-shirt that says….  “Handler, free to good home”

Several pictures of food are placed on my vision board as well.  This year was very kind to me as far as time goes.  I found quite a bit more time to sit and write recipes, test them and of course enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Numerous word phrases are scattered throughout my board.  I put them there as I wanted to focus on some self- improvement.  I felt like I was the end of the yarn ball,  a little frayed when I finally did sit down to create my 2012 vision board.  So….what better than to put what you want to focus on up on the board.

I am relaxed – This one I tend to be…..searching for the right words here….passive/aggressive maybe…...  Getting too relaxed then getting angry for letting things get too relaxed.  Still playing with being relaxed, but not letting it all hang out either.  This one will be a carry over to 2013

I am blessed & I am thankful – A not so subtle reminder that I have a ton of blessings to be thankful for.  A loving & patient husband, my family and friends who love and support me, fabulous dogs, a welcoming home, my farm critters & my creativity.  Just to name a few. 

I trust myself – This one meant NO SECOND guessing my decision.  I’m gonna leave that one right there.

I am happy – This one is in a similar vein as I am blessed.  Whenever I wasn’t happy I asked why?  Then how did I get to that unhappy place.  Did I allow someone else to take me there?  Usually it wasn’t long before I had my answer.

I am focused & I am committed – This meant giving up a few responsibilities and focusing on what I am already doing so not to spread myself too thin.  Also after the devasting loss of 5 of my lambs this year to a coyote hit I realized that I need to be more focused on making sure my flock has a protector.  I committed to finding out my what my choices were for flock guardianship and with the help and guidance from close friends/fellow shepherdesses I selected a llama.  It truly has been a gift that keeps on giving.  Not a day goes by that Talja doesn’t give me a story or a chuckle with her antics.  I truly believe she has come home to our farm.   

I know as I continue to sit and write out my 2013 vision board and goals I will remember other things that I should include, I am good with this.  That’ll do

There are more pictures and sayings....the one that roots beneath all that I experienced this year is….. 

 Inspiration can be found in the most unlikely places

Through inspiration from those most unlikely places….. I have dared greatly like never before.  You know what is really exciting?  It’s that I know in my heart this is only the beginning. 

2013, I hope you are ready for me

Meet Fred and Ginger

It was time to add a few more Call Ducks.  Meet Fred & Ginger, they are Blue Fawn in variety.  They aren't quite used to our place yet.  In time I'm sure they will love it here.

Fall at the Farm

I had started a "couch to 5k" running program and was at week three when low and behold fall had started to take hold. The Fall season brings a whole host of tasks that need to be completed. So the couch to 5k has now turned into a farm to 5k program as the following tasks are completed.  Thankfully I didn't have to do this all on my own.  Several friends offered to experience my "farm exercise" program. 
  • 20 sheep needed to be shorn
  • Sheep hooves need trimming
  • 2.5 tons of hay put up for the winter
  • barn needed to be shoveled
  • Hen house cleaned out and prepped for winter
  • Pick up apples from neighboring orchard to feed to the sheep
All this is keeping up with the "couch to 5K" I was doing.  I can now say all is done and now its back to the couch to 5K.

Oregon Flock and Fiber Fun!

While making our way to Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival (OFFF), one of our most favorite wool and fiber shows we thought we stop and say hello to the fine folks at Les Scwhab. Well, really I ran over a nail and needed my tire fixed. Nonetheless when this bored dog owner is left to her own devices for entertainment, what does she do????  Why yes, she turns to her dogs. Zeke would absolutely have nothing to do with wearing sun glasses he actually moved all the way to the end of his leash so I couldn't reach him!! My Sally girl though was all about it!! Posing for the customers as they came and went. Very cute!!  Oh Sally, you ARE a little diva!!!
























My ducks and are part of the "flock" of Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. Every year, for the past few, we have entertained the crowd with some pretty funny herding demos. Much to everyone's surprise we herd ducks instead of sheep! Not all go as planned but all certainly aim to please and definitely give all spectators a great chuckle. This year was no exception as both dogs earned giggles and applause from the crowd. Zeke and Sally did well, it's a bit of pressure working in a small space and in a different environment. What it did show me is they certainly will and can work under rather different if not silly situations.  I can't tell you the last time I put my sheep through an agility tunnel!!  My desire is to put on a demonstration that is not only fun to watch but also educational.  My hope is that people see how valuable it is to a shepherd to have dogs that efficiently and effectively move stock. 

If you go to http://countrytraveleronline.com/2012/09/25/herding-ducks/ you can see a delightful articule written about our duck herding demo.  THANK YOU JAN for the great articule!!!!

This year was a little different as we did not show sheep, but we did sell our shetland sheep wool in roving and yarn.  The response from the customers was overwhelming and very validating that we are on the right track with combining fibers to make one heck a great yarn.  Who could say no to a chocolately brown shetland fleece from Bridget when she is blended with alpaca and silk? Certainly not me.  It's a good thing they grow more as this blend I was particularly fond of.  Now its time to contemplate next years blends, oh the possibilities!!! 

Here is a little ram lamb that we wil be watching as he grows up.  He lives at Nutshell Farm, here's hoping he will come visit our farm next year.  I love that cream colored bib

Ahhhh life

False starts, restarts, the thoughts that I should be there not here or the "oh heck, you better scrap it and start overs", yeah, I've had my fair share lately.   Two of my very dear friends have told me I am right where I am supposed to be.... that can be very frustrating to this "recipe follower" mentality I have. .....Life's not recipe, it looks silly to me to have written it because I know that, but yet, I somehow expect life to be a recipe.... some sort of funky formulary that when you pull it out of the oven it is a delectable masterpiece.....I've been thinking alot about that lately....Because I am still ruminating on this I am going to interupt this post and share an experience that means a tremendous amount to me....It's a glimpse back in the not so distant past of where I've been, what I've learned and how I am choosing to pay it forward......Below is a note (slightly adjusted for posting) I wrote to a young lady that I certainly hope I get to spend more time with in the near future. 

 After reading your note I very much feel for you and understand your frustrations and disappointment with your horse and his choice of not so fabulous and not safe behaviors. I am hoping I can offer a different thought process/resource to you two. I believe animals are brought into our lives for a reason. We may not know why at first. That's our journey. Sometimes they are only here for a short while and others stay longer. 
I am sharing my experience with the thought that you might find it helpful. My hope is that you may be able to get some "good nuggets" from what I share..... "Sift and sort the info and options".... "find what works for you." That is a nugget I cherish that I got from my trainer that continues to help me along my journey to this day.
No, I haven't trained horses but I've trained a few sheepdogs that didn't fit the "normal" training methodology. A little over 4 years ago I bought a dog that wanted to bite and take down sheep like an alligator.  I was mortified!!!It forced me to do some out of the box thinking and I'd best do that fast or I wouldn't be welcome at other people's farms. I needed options and I did not think that was going to be easy to find. The other obvious option that was zooming through my head was for me to move the dog on to someone else with the hopes that they would understand the situation better than I.   Considering I was Zeke's 4th home before the time he was 2, I sensed he was put in my care for me to help him. To be honest, I felt he was begging me to help him.  I didn't have a clue on how I was going to do that, just knew I had to. I'd received all sorts of input on what I should do from seasoned trainers (25 yrs plus) that just didn't resonnate with me.  Lucky for me a trainer reached out to me and offered her help (she is now one of my best friends).  Open minded solutions and a let's figure him out attitude that weren't "forcing him" are what she offered... We have done what I consider miracles with Zeke.  He is nothing like the dog I got 4 years ago.  It was an open mind and a willingness to read the dog and interpret what he needs that has got him to where he is today. 

I'm not saying this is the same situation for you, maybe you have Luna to help get him to his next home. I don't know, that is where I think Kate (animal trainer/communitcator) maybe able to assist you in learning more about Luna and what he needs....and just maybe Luna will learn what you need from him.
If there is anything I've learned in this journey of handling/ learning to train sheepdogs and owning sheep it's that there is always another way to gain understanding if the one you are using isn't working. Find new tools to add to your tool box. Some have said I took the weird way, or the long way to get there...well, it has paid off for me in spades, I call it, "doing it my way".  Having done that now it's been the best thing I could ever have done for my dogs and I. Call me weird any day of the week. I'll take that relationship that I've built with Zeke over anybody elses dog out there.... he gives me his heart.  Zeke is the dog I've turned to when I gotta get the hard chores done home.
I hope this is helpful to you and that you are able to find your own answers that best suits the two of you.

Cause for Pause....or is it Paws...or is it both

A cause for pause…. or is it paws….. or both?

It was time to push the “reset” button for me.  I enjoyed a mini sheepdog vacation in early July.


I treated Sally, Zeke and I to a sheepdog shedding clinic. Lots of information to sift, sort and process as I look at how I will train and communicate, the inner workings of learning to shed.  The value of understanding and clear communication with your dog is imperative in herding but it is especially important when it comes to shedding.  One paw, foot or even one of  you leaning in the wrong direction puts unwanted pressure on the sheep and you are starting this “dance” over.  We've given the shedding a go at home and we've got work ahead of us, well let's be honest, I'VE got some homework to do.  Sally definitely gets the task at hand as she has been here, done that, before.  Then there is Zeke.  I’d like to say he gets the very start of the concept but we’ve obviously got work to do.  As an extra bonus the handler needs to do her homework too, she has her fair share of learning as well.  Big grin.  Thankfully my dogs are patient with me.  I getting the concept.  Just gotta practice to get the basics down then, I can get to those nuances and finer points,  It's quite enjoyable when it comes together… what a great feeling of partnership with your dog


I went to the annual Sheep Thrillz sheepdog trial in Scio.  Phew, yikes, smiles and a sigh. That was a brainful of opportunities for learning and challenge.  This is my third trial at the pro-novice level.   I roll my eyes now because what I thought I walked on to the trial field in knowledge with each dog was clearly not the case.  I shed some tears, but not because I was upset with Zeke, but disappointed with myself for thinking I had more understanding between the two of us about the task at hand than what showed up on the field.  I retired him mid-run for both of our goes, it was just not going well.  He bumped the sheep at the top and never got a hold of them to say the least.  This handler felt she was drowning at the post, not knowing how to help or handle him.  I just felt blank.  Lots of replaying the situation in my head, reviewing the video of my run, thinking how I could have handled it different and discussing with those I admire and deeply respect  have given me ideas on how I can improve and learn from this opportunity.   So…. Mr. Zekie, off we go to further our understanding and practice more.


Sally had an opportunity for challenge, she had me for a handler  J  It’s all good, as I learned so much from that little girl that I am still processing, even over a month later.  I’m seeing what I can take and move to increase Zeke’s understanding as well as my own.  Sal is a gold mine of information and I know she is here to help deepen our understanding.  My goal for this trial with Sally was very very basic.  Get a hold of her at the top,  get her on a line and don’t mess with it, even if it means missing our panels.  Without boring you with the details, I didn’t get a hold her at the top and because of that it didn't look nice and tidy as I think it should have.  We or should I say I…. definately missed our panels and I’m certain we looked more novice than pro.  I will tell you what I am most proud/excited is that I finally got to feel what it’s like when a dog “gets a hold” of the sheep.  I describe it like a ‘tractor beam", you know, like the one from your favorite sci-fi movies.  We got to the pen and we started the dance to pen our sheep.  All at once I felt Sally lock in and tell those sheep…. no, you’re not going anywhere but in that pen.  I actually said it to Sal, "We are getting those sheep in the pen.  WE can do this girlfriend."  Magic I tell you, it felt like magic!
This is an amazing feeling when your dog “has” her sheep.  I felt on top of the world but so grounded and connected to my dog at the same time.  Knowing that we did this together, in harmony is an exhilarating feeling.  It's the partnership that I've been hearing about for years from other sheepdog handlers.  I honestly didn't understand what they where talking about, I didn’t know it was possible for me to acheive this.  How does it get better than that?

Friday found us at Kenleigh Acres taking a nuno felting class.  We made wool and silk tank tops, what an incredible process.  Very fun and very labor intensive.  I think I will stick to scarves for now as I hone my skills at this wet felting process.  My top didn’t quite turn out ready to wear so I will be making some alterations.  Once complete, I’ll post it up here. Lots of laughter, jokes and fun.  What an inspiring day with an absolutely great group of ladies!!!  I'm ready to have more fun!!!

Rememberance of Hawaii.....

I found this when going through my files and with all this warm summer we are having, I thought this would be fun to share. Getting the coconut meat separated from the shell was a bit of an opportunity for challenge, but in the end, I found a way to coax it from it's shell to make the best coconut pie I've ever had. I hope you enjoy.  Now to find the picture of the pie.  I was sure I took a picture, but now that I think of it it might not have lasted long enough to take a picture.....

Hawaii Fresh Coconut Cream Pie

January 2012 –Vacation recipe

 Ingredients

· 3/4 cup sugar
· 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
· 1 1/2 cups whole milk
· 1/3 cup cornstarch
· 5 egg yolks
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· 1 cup grated, fresh coconut – 1.5 coconuts
· 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
· 1/2 tsp coconut extract
· 1 tablespoon butter
· 1 (9-inch) baked pie shell, recipe follows
· 1/3 cup toasted coconut
· Whipped cream, for garnish

Directions

Extracting the meat from the Coconut


Once getting to the inner coconut, break in quarters and microwave each piece for 30-45 seconds. Work one piece at a time. This loosens the meat from the coconut and makes it much easier to remove. Grate on a medium grater

In a nonstick 1-quart saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, coconut milk, and 1 cup milk. Scald mixture.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch together to make a slurry. Whisk egg yolks with salt in medium bowl. Temper yolks by adding 1/2 cup scaled milk mixture to yolks and whisk well.

Add yolk mixture and slurry back into milk mixture and whisk vigorously over medium heat until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add coconut, vanilla, coconut extract, and butter. Whisk until incorporated.

Pour the filling into the baked pie shell. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Chill the pie completely, about 2 hours.

To serve, top with toasted coconut and a dollop of whipped cream.

Pie shell:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
  • 6 to 7 tablespoons ice cold water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add the shortening and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and let sit 1 minute. Either using a fork or your hands, carefully press the mixture together to form a soft ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing it, and unfold into a 9-inch by 2-inch deep-dish pie pan. Crimp the edges and chill again for 30 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake pie shell until golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely before using.

Yield: 1 deep-dish pie shell

The bond begins

Last night's visit to my sheep could not have made me smile bigger. I've been wondering how long it would take for my sheep to start bonding with our new guard llama, Talja. Last night I got my answer.

I was up the hill filling the water troughs from outside of the fences and had Zeke with me. He usually mills around doing dog stuff.  Sniffing bushes and making friends with whomever will pet him.  Since Zeke has a bit of "presence".  His just hanging out with me at the top of the hill occasionally gets my sheep to run down the hill. This time when they spotted him, they high tailed it right to Talja. She had already seen Zeke with me so I believe she is getting used to him being there with me and realizes he isn't a threat.  After seeing the sheep come hauling to her she looked around to see what the hub bub was all about. She looked back up the hill to see Zeke and I and looked back at the sheep trying to hide behind her.  It's kind of hard for 30 sheep to hide behind one llama, though they tried!  I swear I could see them telling her "See, that's the dog, yeah, that's him.  He tells what to do and where to go".  I'm sure she told them red headed lady with red dog is OK, really.  She has grain!  Talja went a few feet in front and cushed (that's laying down in llama speak).  What a wonderful sight to see. I'm so glad to see the sheep getting to know that Talja is their protector

I want my sheep to know Talja is the safest place to be.  I'm intentionally going very slow at introducing my dogs as I don't want to rush Talja and the sheep getting settled and bonded.  To get a sense of how sensitive the sheep are, at any point Zeke and I were at least 300 ft from them.

Here is Talja enjoying the pasture, before it got a "hair cut" a few days ago

Silver Lining

This is one of those stories with a silver lining.  About 2 weeks ago I had a coyote attack my flock .  We lost 5 ewe lambs and injured one yearling. Not the view you want to see when you are coming to check on your sheep in the morning before going to work.   It was absolutely devastating for me. We plan a whole year in advance which sheep we are going to breed.  We love and care for our sheep.  This year was especially important to me as I was there to see them give birth or just moments after. It was truly a wonderful moment in my life. So to see the hard work lay lifeless in the field, tore me to the core. 

Armed with my cell phone and numbers from a few girlfriends who have been down this road before I asked for their advice.  I got some great advice on my fencing solutions and then the options of a flock guardian came up.  Should I get a donkey, livestock guardian dog or a llama.  With my situation I felt truly only one option was feasible, I was tentative on this last option.   Time to get a llama.  I really must add one, important fact, I’ve had a fear of llamas since I was a child. I was spit at by neighborhood llamas and thought they were all cranky lot of woolly weirdness. This experience was burned into my brain so the thought of purchasing a llama would never happen.....or so I thought.   I have to admit though, now that I think about it, llamas have been inching their way into my life little by little over the past 5 or so years.  I've been invited to llama/fiber shows and other events show casing llamas and alpacas.  I also need to mention that I did have the wonderful opportunity to get to know a friends llama a couple of years ago.  She was quite different from the llamas I had met in my past.  She didn't try to spit on me nor did she seem cranky.  She appeared curious but cautious and I don't know whom was fascinated more, me or her.
 I took the advice from a girlfriend, and went to the same place she went to for her guard llama.  Rain Dance Llama Ranch.  Ken and Celia were wonderful and very accommodating.  I mentioned my hesitation of llamas and was assured that their llamas were very friendly and are used to being handled.  I entered the llama paddock at RDLR and found all the llamas to really not care that I was there, except for one.  She came right over to smell my outstretched hand and got close.  Whoa!!!! This could have been situation overload for me, but instead of being nervous, she had a calming way about her and allowed/invited me to be calm.  What a life changing experience for me.  They handed me a lead and I took this friendly llama for a walk.  It felt so natural to me.  Well maybe the picture doesn't quite show that I am calm, I was just a little taken back that Ratalja would be this friendly
 
As you can see she is very comfortable around me and we seem to have a connection.  I had found my llama.  Apparently this was not her normal behavior and I do believe this took all of us by surprise.  Charlotte met Ratalja, Ratalja met Charlotte.   

Ratalja met her new friends at my farm a week ago Sunday.  She seemed to be curious about the short legged, short necked new friends of hers.  Two of my sheep had been raised with a guard llama and they met her like a long lost friend, or maybe, they told her it was about she show up.  Who knows?!  What I do know, is that everyone is happy and getting along fabulously.  I am at ease that I now have a guardian 24/7 for my sheep.  She meets me every day at the gate to say good morning and to see if I have treats.  She is very food motivated.   She fits in well with this family!
BTW, I did get the halter off of her, but not before she decided she'd had enough of being in my very short sheep pen.  She left on her own volition.  I had to do some convincing & a little negotiating that I really did need to take that halter off.  All I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU Rain Dance Llama Ranch for a friendly llama, named Ratalja!!  I love her dearly!!!!

Stewey, Blue Copper Maran Rooster


He just loves to have his picture taken.  He actually stopped so that I could take these shots


 What a camera hog!


What a ham bone

I couldn't resist taking some shots of this little cutie either.  This is Sally, our latest family member.  She is my Shetland sheep herder extrodinare.  She has my sheep's number like no other.  Grace, smarts, clever and the cutest beauty marks on her sweet little face.  My sheep don't think she's so sweet, but that is their problem.  I encouraged them to make a complaint to farm management :)

Humor me a little as I imagine a conversation that Sally and I would have after sheep herding today



Sally:  [Sigh]....Are you taking pictures again?

Charlotte: Yes, Sally I am..you should get used to it

Sally: Did you at least get my cute side? 


Charlotte: Sally, all of your sides are cute!!!

Sally: Oh yeah, I forgot! Silly me!!! Hey, the sheep wanted to know where the complaint box was

Charlotte: What did you tell them? 

Sally:  I told them Tweed shredded it.   :)

Charlotte: Lovely, Sal

Does it get more adorable than this little sweetie????

And of course, here is the Peach Cherry Frangipane Tart....Just for your Lori L.

Finnoulla and her little baby, I always love her little babes

Life is not only good, it's darned fabulous.  Savoring all the good things that I am blessed with.

Shiner for Charlotte?

Let's start with this..... I sure hope this doesn't turn into a shiner.  With an opening like that, who could walk away from this story?   

Well, I can't take 100% credit for this little stunt.  Here is how it started.

 I pull up to the farm today and see that I have a few escapees in the big field. I might add this is where the babies AREN'T supposed to be.  They are to be with their moms in a different field.  Try as I may, I am no sheepdog, and failed miserable at getting the 3 lambs back into the correct field.  Off the to the truck I go to fetch my red dog.  Ok Zeke, its time to work lambs.  I have to say he did a good job, mostly patient, he had a hard time undestanding why I didn't want the entire flock.  In hindsight that might have been easier, but I thought if I could just get the lambs close enough to the OPEN gate I was holding they would go in.  HA, HA HA.  What a freakin' joke that thought was. Not only do the lambs think Zeke is there friend, they are deathly afraid of me.   Who knew!!!  Great time to find that out!  So, plan B is put into place.  Corner said lambs in barn without getting trampled by the rest of the flock.  I was doing well until one little black lamb made a running jump and flew into my face.  Knocking me almost on my backside, but I caught the little stinker and put the attacker back in the appropriate pen.  Me holding my face, I could feel the swelling almost immediately.  GREAT!  My only thoughts were, tomorrow I have an important meeting to go to at work. I really don't want to have to explain how I got a shiner from a 15 lb lamb. So here's to hoping it won't turn into a black eye. Ohhhh, the things I do to myself. 

Sorry no pictures on this one  :)

Baby Lambs of 2012

 Midnight's Baby Girls


Ghosty Girl's Baby Girls - shetland x bfl

Here are just a few of the lambs from this year.  More to come as they sign up for their "photo shoot"
