Meet Baby Cary

Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country at some point, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few. In 1994, when I was 26, I sold my little bakery cafe, packed up 200 boxes of books & antiques, & waved goodbye to my native California. Armed with a very basic knowledge of gardening, an overenthusiastic sense of adventure, & lots of naivete, I ended up on a 280-acre, 140-year-old farm in the middle of nowhere. I became cook, gardener, shepherd, farmhand, vet, surrogate mom, wildlife expert, sheep midwife & animal undertaker. My prep school education & graphic design background were useless. I went from attending restaurant openings & gallery receptions to working the rural fire dept's BBQ booth at the crafts fair & munching fried pies at country auctions. Nine years ago I moved to an even more remote 240-acre farm which I share with sheep, chickens, 4 dogs, 9 cats, 5 very entertaining donkeys, & one really well fed farmguy. My life revolves around food.

hahaha :o)
aw, Cary. She's too young to have a boyfriend anyway.
Way to go Cary!
That is too funny. Good thinking on her part. Smart girl! Romance and dinner to boot!
That's the Cary we all know and love.
I can't help it - I just want to hug all your sheep! They look so sweet. How could a person possibly be blue with all those sheep around with their sweet little black faces?
Yes, I agree. Much too young to date. I like that smooth move where she tricked him and got the goodies.
Oh but when she IS ready!!! Can I have the beebee SHEEPIE?????
I would love it and feed it and call it george.
Well, maybe not george.
She's a sneaky one that Cary! Sigh, it would have made a romantic picture too.
Cary must forever remain a baby sheep, blissfully ignorant of the way of the ram. ;-)
This is so precious! Thanks so much!!
oh so cute! I love the photos of your lil sheeps! I wish we could have loads of animals :)
Tease!
Hey, if you got it, flaunt it. And Cary's got it all right! Plus, now she's got an extra snack, too. Sly little mynx ;)
