is quite green and pretty.
My objection? The areas that are short and well kept are done so by a lawnmower instead of sheep. And the areas that are overgrown – well, the sheep would have a grand time up there on that hill!
In working on the pictures for this month’s ColorWays project, I came across pictures I took of the sheep and of Bonnie the day before they left. I didn’t download them at the time, most likely because I was too upset to remember to do so when I got back to the house. Bonnie, never one for a camera, knew what was in the works. She not only posed for me,
she hammed it up too:
I miss her so much. Each time I have to go back to the old house and see an empty pasture, I fall apart. I am so used to counting heads whenever I drive to or from that house. To see nothing where there was once so much – - – a friend who once had sheep told me he never got over it when they left. I doubt I will.
On a lighter note, this month’s project is finally done, though the carding is late. The move prevented me from getting the carding done earlier in the month, and the heat has prevented me from carding this past week. Batts don’t like loads of heat and humidity. Neither does the woman who has to make them! I must ask for a little patience this month – again – from our club members. The fiber/yarn/project pictures are up on the ColorWays page – enjoy.
