Midnight Confessions - The First Black Cria of the Season!

Introducing Ideuma Creek's Peruvian Midnight Confessions born on July 9th. For those of you following my 50 year cria naming present threads. . . follow carefully to get the obscure connection to my life! First of all, he is named after the song, "Midnight Confessions". But who knew a band called, "The Grass Roots" made the song popular in 1968? As far as I was concerned it was a "Secrets" original. You see when I was 17 I spent my first summer of five in Wildwood, NJ, as a waitress. One of my jobs was as a cocktail waitress at...

Welcome to Ideuma Creek, JP!

I'm behind on my naming of the cria! This little guy was born on June 26, almost three weeks early. He is quite tiny so I kept him in a separate pen with his mama for several days longer than usual. He's fine now. Happy, healthy and tearing up the pasture with the other little ones. It's time to give him a name, JP, short for J-Pack. You see there is a small bunch of girls whom I have the pleasure of eating lunch with every day since they were in 8th grade. They will be seniors this next year....

Meet Saint Francis!

The gift of names continues. :) I've decided to call this little boy, Francis. If you ask my students my two favorite things in this world, they would likely tell you books / reading and chocolate (not necessarily in that order!) The truth is my two favorite things in this world are animals and gardens. My world seems to revolve around them. Although I am not religious, I know Saint Francis of Assisi is the patron saint for both gardens and animals. If the truth is told, I've whispered more than a few prayers to him over the years asking...

Wind Beneath My Wings - Cria #2

Meet Ideuma Creek's Peruvian Wind-Beneath-My-Wings. This little girl is named for my sister, Michele Harrison Stoneman who has always believed in me and supported me in all my crazy dreams and endeavors over these last 50 years that we've shared together. One of my earliest childhood memories is listening to my Father tell my sister that she was the older one and that she needed to look out for me always. She hasn't let you down, Pop. She is no longer bigger than I am and she doesn't look older than I am, but she still watches over me and...

First Cria of 2016 - Meet Accoyo Amor

So I'm not sure what most women ask for as a gift for their 50th birthday. I'm thinking parties, jewelry, maybe a trip . . .I asked for a new beehive, a commercial strength weed wacker and exclusive rights to naming all of this year's cria. My thought was to name each and every one after something significant that has happened to me in my half of a century of life. Please meet Ideuma Creek's Accoyo Amor, our first cria of the season, born on Father's Day. Although we breed for July and August babies, we have had 3 cria...
