How exciting! I made some new bloggy friends after only discovering their blog, Flower Weaver, just last week. And I have Ed, over at Sunday Stills, to thank, as I might not have ever discovered their blog had it not been for the weekly Sunday Stills Challenges.
I just found out last week, that Sage and Farmer Rick were taking a road trip from their farm in Texas, to New Mexico, so I invited them to stop in for a visit on their way from Mountainair, NM to Madrid, NM, along the famous and scenic Turquoise Trail.
Being that they are both animal lovers, too, they were excited to meet my animals during their visit. Sage and Farmer Rick own over 50 chickens and have names for all of them.
Sage considers herself a Chicken Whisperer and gave me an entertaining demonstration in my coop during her visit. I think my hens enjoyed it.
Then we worked our way up to the barn to visit the llamas, sheep and goats, talking all the way. Sage and Farmer Rick are both very interesting, funny, and very friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed their visit and look forward to visiting them in Texas someday, too.
Farmer Rick made instant friends with Mud Pie giving him lots of welcome scratching and petting.
And Sage shared some sweet goatie affection, too.
And we couldn’t leave out the painted princess, so I introduced them to Baby Doll. Sage, who is also a horsewoman, seemed to enjoy visiting with my mare as much as Baby Doll enjoyed her attention, too.
I think that Sage and Farmer Rick made Baby Doll’s day by giving her scratches over one of her favorite spots.
These two are such a cute couple and are obviously soul mates. They found each other online through Green Singles, and have been married for over 3 years now.
I’m so glad they stopped by Laughing Orca Ranch for a visit as I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the two of them.
Isn’t Blogville amazing?
Have you had the opportunity to meet a fellow blogger yet? How’d it go?

That's so great! I definitely agree, blogerville is quite amazing. I love the opportunity to create friendships with people whom I never would have gotten the pleasure of meeting otherwise. Looks like you had a great visit!
Most of my fellow bloggers are FAMILY...but it would be fun to meet someone like you did!!!
Very cool, I need to get out there one day..:-)
What fun!!! That's so cool!!
The internet makes our world smaller every day. It is so wonderful to meet such a nice couple.
That is great!!! It is so nice to meet new people!!
Wow, how cool! I hope to go visit Pam someday soon. She is only a few hours away.
What a lovely couple, and cool is it that you were able to meet up with them???
Yes, I have met a couple of my fellow bloggers, and one of them was nothing like she portrayed herself to be.....
PS-This is my kidlets favorite song right now!! :)
How fun to meet new people and blogger friends too! Looks like a really nice couple and animal whisperers too, animals know good people. Baby Doll looks like she is enjoying all the attention, saw that upper lip hanging in the first picture. When I find Gilly's good itchy spot he hangs out the lip.
Great post!!!!
~Jane and Gilly~
How much fun is that!? I'm so glad you got to meet them, they seem like very nice folks. You're just making new friends all over the place!!
It's interesting how large bloggers have become in my life, I find that in conversation with others that I am referring to things in the lives of bloggers. For instance, I have told local several people now that I wish we had barn swallows and why. :-)
I'm so glad you all got to meet up. Sage and Rick are among my favorite folks in the whole world. She and I met years ago at Caprock Canyons - both traveling around by ourselves camping with our dogs - and have been sisters ever since.
I have yet to meet a fellow blogger in person. There are a few that I think I would really enjoy meeting F2F
Yep, you and Val and it's been great.

If you come to Texas I'm going to insist you come to Canyon Lake. But give me a week's notice (I might be able to get the beds made and laundry done in that time!)...
That is so cool! They sound like wonderful people!
It is so much fun meeting new people. I've met one blogger friend, and hope to meet some more!!
For years I have said that the Internet just might be the ultimate tool for world peace.
Here's just one more example--
Hurray!
