Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A little Uncle Mo llama for your viewing pleasure. Weather is lining up to be mild this week. The logging is still going on next door (week four) so Mo is missing more regular access in the meadow, as are the other animals. But he loves his tall trees and slopes. 121
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’ve been enjoying some close encounters with birds lately. After the mystic barred owl showing itself a couple weeks ago, this Red Crossbill allowed me to scoop it out of Derek’s wood shop and help it to safety today. 230
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I haven’t felt like doing much while I’m sick but I’ve been eager to play around with some art yarn. Rosa Barks is modeling this rustic sample scarf. She’s very fetching. 160
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Cute Baby Mindy yesterday. She is like a little wool cloud walking around on stilts. #sheeppuppy 0132
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026From the biggest to the smallest: Uncle Mo Llama loves all the creatures. 050
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Caught it again! The sunrise between the two peaks of the Sisters I can see when the weather is clear. I thought it would happen in October given that I last caught it in April, but hadn’t accounted for the Earth’s tilt and its elliptical orbit. 150
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 07/09/2026We had a feathered friend this morning. While Sasha doesn’t seem to notice aerial predators, her pups Amos and Rosa Barks are very keen to them. #owls 040
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Me & Lamby this afternoon. He doesn’t like when I wear a brimmed hat & usually tries to knock it off my head so he can bury his nose in my ear. He is my original sheep puppy. I’m so lucky he was my 1st sheep. His sweet, calm, gentle demeanor set such a high bar for everyone else! I ❤️ his amber eyes. 090
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Uncle Mo llama always has a soft spot for his Icelandic sheep friends. 050
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Mo llama during the heat of the afternoon. With any luck, maybe this will be our last day above 90F. #llamas 050
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 22/08/2026On this edition of Sheep puppies, we have puppies meeting puppies. Ebony recently returned to the group in Alvadore. She and her lambs are as docile as a puppy and here they are coming over to spend a little time with Veeanna.  #sheeppuppies 060
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It’s my husband Derek’s birthday today! The life I lead now would not be possible without him working so hard at his job! Glad he’s a couple years older than I am so I can see what I’m in for. Plus, he is much taller than I am and can reach everything on the top shelf. 160
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Skinner’s Butte in Eugene is on fire today. It doesn’t take a red flag day for brush to catch on fire in such dry conditions. #fireseason #pnwweather 120
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 16/08/2026On this edition of sheep puppies, She-Ra came over to hog all the attention. #gotlandsheep 180
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Baby Mindy in her self made bunker resembling Yoda. #lambs 040
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Louis is enjoying a little time on the deck on a cloudy day and mild weather. Because of his myelopathy, he needs a lot of assistance getting from resting spot to resting spot. Not sure how many more weeks he has left, but we’re trying to give him as many quality experiences as he wants. #boxerdog 270
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I got my air quality monitor in from Purple Air. Now not only can I monitor the AQI at home but can also be a data point for the community. #airqualityindex 030
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Here’s pretty Laurie wishing you a boop-able day! #angoragoats 092
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Pretty Isha today. It’s still smoky here so the animals are relatively subdued. We’re also experiencing a heat wave. Just keeping everyone as relaxed, watered and fed as possible. #angoragoats 240
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Winds will not only increase the fire risk today, but it will begin to push smoke to us. It was relatively clear early this morning, but already the horizon is starting to disappear. Temps will not be too awful today but it will be quite hot the remainder of the week. #redflagwarning 120
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Tort Bunny with his friend Mo llama this morning. From the smallest to the largest, friendship abounds here. 040
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Just to get a sense of how big Amos is, he makes the back of the BAH Mobile look like a VW Bug. #greatpyrenees 170
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I was being bombarded by sheep this afternoon making demands for attention. #sheepfriends 081
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 12/07/2026A little boop from Tort Bunny on this Sunday morning. #bunnies 020
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Uncle Mo llama meets Moofie’s lambs Mork & Mindy for the first time. #llamas #lambs 051
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I brought Eloise around to the porch in Alvadore so the property owner could pet her. I’ve been grazing there for some years & she’s become a friend. Sadly she was diagnosed w/ pancreatic cancer last fall. Though caught early, treatment has been hard. I thought some lamb therapy might be in order. 51607
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Lemon balm grows naturally on our property. I have about 1.5 acres of it without any effort! Each day I harvest some for the animals, especially the poultry and bunnies. They love it! #lemonbalm 060
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Laurie and Lettie (mom/daughter) are inseparable. I find that goats form very close relationships. Not that sheep don’t love their offspring but goats are next level. I think Lettie would die of a broken heart if she were ever separated from her mom. #angoragoats 081
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 28/06/2026It’s with pride & love that my beautiful Hazel tied for Reserve Champion in the best overall white fleece, after taking 1st in her category yesterday at Black Sheep Gathering. That’s an amazing honor. Hazel beat out many finer wools like Rambouillet, merino, etc. 1/2 391
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Look at this cutie patootie. One of Ebony’s twin lambs is a real love. I originally had planned to name her Eliza, but one of the property owner’s great grandchildren suggested Eloise. I like it for her! 💕🥰 090
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Weather should be quite nice again today with highs in the 70°s F. I’m continuing my inspection on my show fleeces for Black Sheep Gathering. I have one week until I take them up to Albany for entry. My hands are getting pretty tired! 020
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Hermione and her mom Fat Hazel got their summer dos this afternoon in my Alvadore group. Hazel is still fat (hence the name). The last pic was of Hermy when she was a little lamb with Hazel. Also taken in Alvadore. These girls simply glow with golden luster after I get the wool off. 070
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Saw this on the pump at the gas station today. I’d laugh if it weren’t so painfully true. 181
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 15/06/2026We’re still in the late spring heatwave here which should break tomorrow. The sunrise had blue/purplish tint that accompanies unseasonably warm weather. All the animals are okay, well watered and plenty of shade. #pnwsunrise 040
Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Your daily dose of Mo llama. He’s not doing much sunbathing today since it’s so hot, but he’s supervising the animals at home from the comfort of the shade. #llamas 050
