Keep on the sunnyside

Even the sheep are looking for the sunny spots to rest, good luck. It was sleeting yesterday morning as I fed the stock and loaded up the truck to head down to the Peachtree handspinner's meeting and Christmas party. I made a fast trip to the post office to pick-up a spinning wheel for a lucky young lady, by the time I left the sleet had stopped. We had a big crowd and a great time. Fought the traffic and made it home before dark, just in time to check on Trinket, a small yearling doe I sheared last week, and turned back out in the bottom pasture. When I fed her herd earlier that morning, she was chewing her cud but she was shivering, so I picked her up, put her on the gator and brought her to the lambing barn, a much warmer barn.  Put her in a pen with hay, warm water and a friend to keep her company. She was fine, she had someone smaller than her to pick on. Checked on the Barn cat and her three kittens that were spayed by the mobile vet unit that comes to Cartersville. They were enjoying their stay in the cabin, with the heat on low.
