More New Sheep

In the last post I mentioned the new sheep that I got from Puddleduck Farm in Oregon. But there were only two in those photos. There were actually nine sheep in the trailer. I had intended to get a ram and two yearling ewes. It's a long story but I ended up with 6 more ewes of various ages.  PD Amber, 7 years Puddleduck AmberPD Cassandra, 4 years Puddleduck CassandraPD Celilo, 9 years Puddleduck CeliloPD Cherry, 8 years Puddleduck CherryPD Page, 7 years Puddleduck PagePD Ringo Here is the ram, Puddleduck Ringo.PD sheepSheep know their sheep friends. They are in the pasture with Ringo and about a dozen of my ewes, but these six stick together.DSC_9132Isadora-IsabelleWhile I'm introducing sheep this is Kenleigh's Isadora and her lamb, Isabelle, who was born at the fair and will be staying here.

Only a Mother Could Love...

   

There are dozens of baby birds in the barn. DSC_3232 This nest is at the top of a bunch of rain gutters and downspouts that I (with great intentions during  a severe storm) bought a couple of years ago and are obviously not yet in their proper place. Note raw material easily found in around the barn.DSC_3243 They remind me of Dr. Seuss characters.DSC_3257DSC_3245 "MOM!"DSC_3254 DSC_3256 Or maybe more something from Jurassic Park. I think you have to be a mother bird to love this face.
