Snowy sheep southern style


We did get snow,not a lot and mostly ice now,but it came down hard and fast. We had Christmas,now winter,okay I'm ready for spring.By Wednesday we should be back in the 50's.Fifties are good, no frozen water tanks and hoses, and maybe, get back to work on trimming feet and washing,dyeing,carding some wool or mohair.It's hard to work outside in this weather, in the south we can usually work outside all winter, except for the freezing spells or cold rain.The sheep don't mind it as much as the goats, angora goats love the sun, some of them lay out in it on the hottest days.Sometimes the humidity can be too much for them.As soon as the snow starting falling all the goats headed for the big barn to hide.Sheep just stayed out and got all snowy on their backs.Think I'll wait until the sun comes out for awhile before I wake them.
