Wednesday Dose of Cute: Marta in Motion
Labels: Daily Dose of Cute 20, Daisy 2, Marta

Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country at some point, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few. In 1994, when I was 26, I sold my little bakery cafe, packed up 200 boxes of books & antiques & waved goodbye to my native California. Armed with a very basic knowledge of gardening, an overenthusiastic sense of adventure, & lots of naivete, I ended up on a 280-acre, 140-year-old farm in the middle of nowhere. I became cook, gardener, shepherd, farmhand, vet, surrogate mom, wildlife expert, sheep midwife & animal undertaker. My prep school education & graphic design background were useless. I went from attending restaurant openings & gallery receptions to working the rural fire dept's BBQ booth at the crafts fair & munching fried pies at country auctions. Ten years ago, I moved to an even more remote 240-acre farm which I share with sheep, chickens, 3 dogs, 6 cats, 7 very entertaining donkeys & one really well fed farmguy. My life revolves around food.

Oh yay, another Marta post!!! Huge fan of Ms. Muppet....
Marta is Special Ops on the farm. No one should see her face or know who she is or her true purpose in life. I bet she does her job well. :-)
Cute girls!
Marta looks like she's 'in motion' even when she's standing still! Beautiful dogs!
