Sorting Sheep

We were gifted a pair of sheep some time ago. Last spring, one had a lamb, so we now had three. Time passed and we sort-of forgot about them. Oh sure, we made certain they had water and grass, but totally overlooked having them sheered and drenched! We asked around (neither of us really knowing how to go about doing this) if there was a travelling sheering who might drop by. Finally we found someone prepared to pop in and do it all for next to nothing, but we needed to round up the sheep. We were pleasantly surprised that it only took us a few minutes to get them into a makeshift pen.
A half hour later; drenched and nice smooth sheep :)

Heatwave


The weather has been mild all summer long and it shouldn't be a surprise to us in New Zealand, but as soon as we are all back to anticipating autumn we are hit with a heatwave. All our grass is dying and we aren't equipped enough with water sprinklers, nor the time to get this done. Hopefully we'll have a return to some milder weather as well as a little rain.
