Can't think about anything but puppy stretches.

Our farm dog is learning the ropes and being a good girl. Big walks, big naps. This morning, when it was finally light at 6:30 after playing for an hour, we walked to Honeymoon Lake and met a big airedale, though Tilly dosen't get any nose-time with dogs until she has a few more shots.

She wasn't ready for bed when we were ready to go out, so she was spoiled and got to come with... with her whole kennel in the back seat ready for naps. We stopped by our first farmers market and saw why Whidbey is famous for dogs - everyone had a dog! Tilly will be so well socialized in a few more weeks. I also met a young woman who recognized me from my bicycle-in-the grocery-store adventures two days ago. Hopefully we will start making friends as our life settles down.

After our stop at the market, Tilly went back in the kennel for naps while we visited a sheep-dairy farm where we bought meat and cheese.

Next, we continued our "Whidbey Farm Tour Day" at a "found fiber" farm of rescued/non-breeding, mostly female, fiber animals and a very busy farmer woman crafting to keep the animals fed.

While Mom, Grandpa, Tilly, and I were out and about, Tim and Dad were busy finishing the drain system project - digging holes, clearing tubes, and putting everything back together again.
