We have already lost one day old lamb. The guardians do their best. The birds win. This bird in a tree looking down on a lamb just hours old. Eddie and guardian Ayla stopped it from killing another. It will be back.

Sometimes people ask, "Are your LGDs working dogs? " "I never see them out. " I explain they are working. They are always watching from their lookout. They can smell, hear and see something coming before it gets to the flock. They are trained to stay on the property. With the exception of Chief. Who has chased a car or two. They are good dogs.

We have had a few killing frosts. The vegetable garden is done with exception of the cruciferous. The Dahlia tubers have been dug up and stored. Still need to dig gladiolus. Garlic was planted.
To the delight of the honeybees there are still flowering plants hanging in there.
