Welcome to Pemberley!

Hello, friends! I hope this finds you well. Today we got to issue an exciting welcome to Pemberley!

I have been getting accustomed to the frequency of visitors here at the farm. They come often and seem to admire our wee flock. Today, however, I met someone I’ve only seen on Farmer Jay’s little pocket box: Kiersten J!

Kiersten J and Greg came to meet the flock today and we all gathered at Pemberley to get acquainted.

Mr. Knightley did his job well as head of the flock and was the first to greet our guests. He positioned himself between the visitors and the rest of us and gave Kiersten J a thorough inspection (including taste testing boots, shirt, and hair) before permitting access to the remaining members of the party. One might say that Mr. Knightley continued to put himself forward throughout the visit to demand his share of the conversation, but I believe he was simply attempting to be a good host.

Farmer Jay built Pemberley for us so we have shade from the hot sun and shelter from the wind and rain, and he and Ma Berry bring hay and fresh water to Pemberley so we don’t have to wander far to eat and drink while we’re getting used to our new home. We have a lovely little park in front of Pemberley (I think most people here call it a yard) for fresh grass, too. Kiersten J and Greg got to tour the grounds and see the very comfortable home where we now reside.

Before I close for today, I should introduce you to one of our closest neighbors. Meow the cow gave her own welcome to Pemberley during our visit and consented to a photograph. As you can see, she’s a handsome Jersey and a charming neighbor. We’re quite fortunate in most of our near neighbors, with the possible exception of the snoring pig, who departed earlier this week on a mysterious journey. No one is speaking much about it, so it may be best left as a private matter.

Most sincerely yours,

Mr. Darcy the Sheep
