I love it! That sounds much better thank celebrating thanksgiving (and the massacre of native americans... you know...)

Getting my sheep in the morning!! Pipes are still frozen. DH came home and worked on them for 2 hours with no luck, and went back to work. He's working tonight and will be home in time to get sheep in the morning. Then we have to pack!! Move out and move the boiler day is Sunday. It'll be warmer this weekend at least!

I have sheep in my barn! I can't get pics to upload. They're super freaked out thus far, trying to give them some space!

So fuzzy! Lol

They shear in February so these ladies could use a haircut! You can do Shetlands once or twice a year, which is kinda cool. The daughter is settling, mama is freaked still. They are friendly and daughter is good on a lead, mama not as much (she was from a different farm and handled less). But both will eat from your hand. They do NOT like the dogs!

Look at all that wool!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

They are so stinkin' cute and WOOLY! I bet it's so cool to just sink your hands down into the wool. I'd probably never stop touching them, lol.

 

[NH Homesteader]

It's amazingly thick! Holy moly! I had a hard time finding bodies in there lol. And it's super soft! Their faces are crazy soft too. They like chin scratches but are leery of us. Need to go get some grain to win them over!

 

[NH Homesteader]

They're tiny underneath all that!
