The Coderlambian: May 2014

Now that we have sheep, we thought it necessary to send out another 'buyer letter.'
This was the result:

CARAMEL CORN AND OUR LETTER.

ZACHARY "SELLING" THE NEWSPAPER. :)

MEGAN AND MADELINE

THE INSIDE OF OUR LETTER!!!

In case you can't read those articles, but you really want to, here they are:

Little Bo-peep

Written By Grace C. Coder

Little Bo-peep,

Is selling her sheep,

And hoping that you’ll be the buyer,

Please come to the fair,

She’ll look for you there,

Don’t buy your lamb from Fred Meyer!

Little Bo-peep,

Just got her sheep,

On Sunday, the 18^th of May,

She needs to tether,

This young, new wether,

For it hasn’t been trained to stay.

Little Bo-peep,

Is taking her sheep,

To “weigh-in,” a 4-H affair,

Her sheep will be weighed,

Some marks’ll be made,

Then her sheep will gain weight for the fair.

The Little Shepherdess

By Megan Joy Coder

Hello! Many things happening in our neck of the woods.

On May 13th, we went to Finn Hill Cemetery for community service with our 4H club. We raked and picked up pine cones and sticks that were littering the grounds.

On the 18^th, we headed over to Goldendale where we bought our lambs. There were many windmills along the way. It was a beautiful drive. I picked a ewe lamb and named her Lewe-Lewe.

I can’t believe that the fair is only about two and a half months away! I will be busy getting my lamb ready for the show ring.

Maddy Had A Little Lamb

By Madeline Hope Coder

Wow, so much has happened since I last talked to you! My mom had her birthday. My brother, Benjamin, has graduated from school at Washington State University, and is right now in Europe with Joshua! Sarah’s birthday has come and gone. But, the best part is that I now have a ewe lamb whose name is Surely (named after a lamb that I loved last year.) I will be spending time training her for the fair. Right now, she is still quite afraid of me, but the other night she let me hold her head and lead her a bit.

Joshua has recently been to Oxford and Warwick, and he is very much enjoying his travels.
