Brrrrrr....the temperature has plummeted!
Winter is here to stay.
Thankfully we are all prepared.
The farm is winterized and so are the animals!
If there is one animal on the farm who truly looks forward to the cold winter winds...
it is the sheep!
Their fleeces are easily an inch thick by now...
providing them enough insulation for any possible temperature.
The colder it is, the happier they are.
They just eat and eat and sleep and sleep and poop and poop!
Shuffle, repeat. Shuffle, repeat.
When I look at sweet Faith (who, by the way, is actually a black sheep...
who used a little too much "Sun In" this past summer)...
I am reminded of the times that I have put a favorite sweater into the wash
with something fleecy....
only to remove it covered with lint balls.
That's pretty much how life is for Faith.
She is just one big brown ball of velcro...
to which everything sticks.
Trying to keep her clean is futile.
She'll have one clean week in May (after she is sheared!)
I love my sheep.
They are truly the most peaceful animals.
So very gentle... so very kind.
So very warm!
Speaking of kind....
Ginger and MaryAnn say "Hi"!....
They are spending the winter basking under their heat lamp...
emerging for short periods of nosiness.
