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?
