Snow Melt
A mild day provided for a bit of snow melt, and a wonderful bike ride in the afternoon. The sheep took advantage of some of the grass beneath the melting snow,and worked the yard most of the afternoon.
The omnivore's dilemma continue as the sheep remain in borrowed time. Back in the day, there would probably have been no choice, the sheep would have gone to the butcher this past Fall, because they are both about a year old at this point. Bev and I are both looking the other way, talking a little about their wool. One of the sheep, Pickles, was bottle fed by her former owners, and she is one of the friendliest animals, and will often greet me in the morning. Stinka, on the other hand, acts more like a sheep, wanting as little to do with humans as possible.
I'm as close to being a vegetarian again as I've been in years. Enjoy the days when you can find a little grass, sheep--there may be only a handful for the next couple months.
