I happily watched my wife shave a couple of #scrotums today. Neither one was mine.

(It’s #sheep shearing day, and I don’t like doing the boys’ bits with the massive clippers because it makes me nervous)

I think this one is a librarian.

Morning Sheep Time

A good insertion all round followed by contemplation of the incarcerated pony. Weather has improved a bit since this was taken and my bicycle is calling.

The #sheep were fed at dusk yesterday. They heard me putting the chickens away and came trotting over to see what I had for them, so they got their usual meal of Rammaster and sugar beet pellets.

Morning Sheep Time

I think we've had about 3 actual spring days this year. Apart from that it's been rain, cold, wind, rain and cold, rain and wind, and rain and cold and wind. Buster way down the bottom field, fleeces too damp for proper cuddles. Pony probably in the best place at the moment.

Sheep were hopeful and followed across the field but were disappointed to see nothing edible in the trailer. #SheepOfMastodon

Today’s bimble: lambs and a good haul of birdsong. There was also a skylark, but I don’t think the app could pick it up because of ghe wind. #northumberland #SheepOfMastodon #Defaidodon

A friend sent me this - an oil labelled 20th century school of a collie, shepherd and sheep in a snowy field.

I do like the brushwork and colours but can not help thinking the artist had never actually seen a collie working sheep or even the behaviour of the sheep themselves. Maybe a depiction of what he thinks the snowy scene would look like

After a couple of days away, I had to go looking for the #sheep, to check up on them, and see if they wanted food. Of course they wanted food, despite not touching the hay racks for days. The picture is from the moment they first spotted me.
