On a clear day

The sun has come back these last few days, it’s been fantastic. Still cold, but I’ll take the sun.

I went back to check on these sheep and was parked in the their driveway and saw a car approaching and it was the owner so I stopped her and asked some questions that people had asked when I posted their pictures before. Her name was Carla, a really nice lady who didn’t have a problem with me being there thankfully. I asked if they typically were born this early and she said they usually come around February, but that they had 8 born in December and then a few more came. I asked what kind they were and she said a Heinz 57 and listed the breeds, but I’d never heard of them before and didn’t write them down so I don’t remember them now. She said they were like her field aquarium, fun to watch and that the little ones get very animated in the late afternoons…which they do, I’ve watched them and it’s fun.

Going to the horses

These horses are down the road from the horse I posted about last week.

Safeway gift shop

The gift shop inside Safeway. I think it looks pretty cheerful and over the years has expanded to more and more things. A good place to pick up flowers too when it’s not that time of year that the local flower stands are active.

Sunny Farms

This is inside Sunny Farms. If you’ve ever been to Sequim you know how popular this place is, with good reason. If you haven’t been to Sequim but a visit is in your future, you should definitely check it out.

I did an experiment yesterday and smiled at every person who made eye contact with me while shopping, counting to 10 people. At Safeway 3 out of 10 people smiled back. At Sunny Farms, 8 out of 10 people smiled back. Personally, I can’t imagine seeing someone smile at me and not smiling back, but I get people have bad days and they probably dislike grocery shopping as much as I do. Maybe people don’t even realize they are doing it and are caught up in their own worlds or maybe they don’t feel a need or obligation to smile back. When you grocery shop are you aware of other people?
