First day here

Well, here I am. My first day, first post on Substack.

I hope I can live up to the expectations I have for myself.

I am Judy. I am learning how to recreate a life after I lost my sweet, beautiful, loving husband last year. He is my heart and soul, my best friend, and my rock for the 12 years we shared our lives together.

I miss him so very much.

He is the one who is responsible for my sheep farm. He bought me my first 3 sheep for our 3rd wedding anniversary. They are Miss Lucy, Miss Putt Putt, and Mr Ned. I still have Lucy and Putt in the flock. Ned, sadly, has moved on to greener pastures on the other side.

To date, the flock has grown to 33 critters, all with their own separate personalities. Some loving, some standoffish, some troublemakers, but all my babies, and they all know they are spoiled rotten.

The past year has been the hardest of my life. Trying to rebuild without my best friend here. Having to learn new skills to make up for what was lost with him. First adventures in tractor driving, fixing said tractor, fixing fences, and making decisions without his input and discussion. I’ll detail those more in future posts.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!!
