December – what’s the weather going to do?

Hi Little Ted, are you waiting for the snow?

Well with the weather the way it is going at present, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we don’t have snow in December (even though it’s summer).

the grass is as high as an elephant’s eye

We have had a busy month, and inbetween the rain we have weeded and done more weeding, mowed and cut a path through the grass so the lambs and ewes can get to their favourite spots. All the rain to date has meant more grass than the flock can eat.

We’z in the barn, we’z lucky sheep
I’z love having my photo taken
we’z getting big
we’z have had our breakfast
taken my photo again
I’z love attention
We’z don’t trust that camera thing

The lambs have also had their vacinations, so they are all set now until we decide whether to have more lambs next year. These little ones will be too young for parenthood yet – we will leave them until the following year.

We have finished painting the ‘farm house’ and it is now ready for a very big Christmas Day party. We are looking forward to hosting the extended family out here this year. Even if the weather is ‘sad’ we’ll have fun anyway.
