As we adjust to the changing of seasons we see all kinds of signs around us saying that fall is here and winter will be coming sooner than we would like. Geese fly overhead and the shots of hunter's guns fill the air. The air is crisp, sometimes with foggy mornings or just plane gray days. The sheep do not mind with their woolly coats and our dogs just rush around in the fallen leaves.
As November approaches we are excitedly anticipating Stardust due date. Today we took her and Clover to our shearers house to be shorn. They really enjoyed riding in the back of the truck sticking their faces to the win, on the way back not so much. We know have two fresh gorgeous fleeces waiting to be skirted. we have started collecting lambing supplies and thinking up projects ideas for the winter season.
The ram lambs are enjoying living outside instead of cooped up. The ewe lambs greet me when I come to feed pushing and shoving trying to be in front. They often end up outside of the gate but are easily perswaded to come back in. Alex and his ewes follow there daily routine of grazing and napping. The Dorsets are always happy to see me hoping for a treat of an apple or some more salt.We have slowly be collecting our sheep the only group still away from our farm are the White Romneys. The house smells of woodsmoke and has a warm glow to it making you want to snuggle up with some knitting in front of a good movie with a cup of hot cocoa or tea.
