Vinlands Icelandics: April 2015
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Tracy, Jon, Tully. Yesterday we visited the sculpture done by the artist Oezesiak (spelling? And talked with his mother who, with her husband, lives across the road from where the sculpture is displayed. We'd stopped there after shopping for plants for the garden and buying groceries for dinner. We're eating like royalty and having a wonderful time. Yesterday David sent the photo below of Tully resting on one of her beds - she has two! Clicking on photos will enlarge them.

Vinlands Icelandics: October 2014
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Windy, Rainy, and Cool. This is the intersection of I-75 and I-696 not too far from my former home in Royal Oak. A spider-like interchange for Halloween? I still get Detroit area news stations on Dish-TV up here. These are my views from my new home. Not a bad trade off, eh? Thursday, October 30, 2014. Hearing from our pack-puppies. Wodin, Rory, Basil. The other two dogs belong to our son's family and Rory and Wodin have a great time together - she plays the same. Basil is no...

Vinlands Icelandics: February 2015
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Thursday, February, 26, 2015. The Icelandic Sheepdog puppies are growing fast but their eyes are still not open - soon, perhaps? They sleep much of the time: eat and sleep is what they do now. Kitty is a rare chocolate tricolor with a collar and blaze. Chocolate tricolors are a variation of black tricolors - see Kippa below. Eddie is a tan shade chocolate dog with a collar and a split face mask. He is named after his Uncle Edgar (Sherwood Forests Gunnar) although he is no...

Vinlands Icelandics: September 2014
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. While it has not been exactly "Indian Summer" weather, nevertheless, it has been very nice up here, perfect temperatures, and lots of sunshine, for the past week or so. Tracy, Jon, Val, and Warhol came up Sunday and we had a great dinner followed by a really good French movie. Sadly the ice cream store was closed for the season - how silly is that? Sunday, September 28, 2014. The day started out foggy but still lovely. Clicking on photos enlarges ...

Vinlands Icelandics: KIPPA
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2015/08/kippa.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Icelandic Sheepdog puppy Vinlands Kippa Jane has been doing some moderate and low stress agility obstacles. Suzanne, Kippa's guardian, has exposed her to some agility obstacles like the tunnel, the A-Frame, etc. and KJ enjoys doing them. Kippa emerging from her tunnel. Note the tossed ball to make tunnels a game. Kippa making "contact" on an A-Frame. Puppies will do anything you ask of them. However, please don't ask them to do too much. Studies have shown that puppies sh...Carri...

Vinlands Icelandics: March 2015
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. The Icelandic Sheepdog puppies are six weeks old and last night they woke me up at 3:30! It was time for a separate bedroom so today they were moved out. I need my beauty sleep or I'm cranky all day! Today we were supposed to go to Town and Country vets for shots and microchips; they called yesterday and postponed because the chips hadn't arrived yet. Thursday. Here are some shots I took last night right after dinner. Elisabeth, Bangsi, Gunnar. Kippa Jane, Tully Lulu. I miss that...

Vinlands Icelandics: May 2015
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. I had a nice email from Tully the Icelandic Sheepdog's new guardians. It looks like Tully has it made! I've heard that a smart dog can easily learn 300 - 400 words. Tully is well on her way! So much to say and share. Tully is a special sweetheart of a puppy. I must thank you a million times over for helping bring her into the world and entrusting us with her! You know all of this well, I'm sure. Clicking on photos will enlarge them. Bastian and Tully Lulu. Tully is very good in th...

Vinlands Icelandics: January 2015
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. I feed the birds - - - and some of the birds are in their turn food for some predators too. I'm guessing that perhaps a peregrine falcon, which I noticed lurking the other day, got what looks like a cardinal. Christine pointed out that J-J (Jean Jacques) was the color of the placemats she sent for a housewarming present! How prescient of her! From the Top of the Rise. I don't know what colors these might be called; regardless - lovely. The bluebird/tree swallow houses I ordere...

Vinlands Icelandics: Friday, August 14, 2015
http://vinlandsicelandics.blogspot.com/2015/08/friday-augyst-15-2015.html
Friday, August 14, 2015. Friday, August 14, 2015. I don't understand "why" war was declared on them. Dandelions are aliens; so are phragmites, several kinds of orchids, etc. and they live relatively unscathed. In point of fact a great many plants we routinely grow for food and for beauty are "alien" to North America. Who gets to decide which ones are good aliens and which are bad ones. (That's a rhetorical question.). I would not be surprised to see them escape along my stream. Carrie Acosta - Artist.
