Vicks has kindly provided a neat explanation for the poor quality of the shorn sheep photo below - an attempt to preserve the poor animal's modesty! This has let me off the hook, and is much nicer explanation than mine, which was that she was shivering at the time!! In fact, it was a combination of optical zoom on the digital camera, and my shaky hands. I hope Mum and Dad can open the photos okay now, I don't know why some would enlarge, and others wouldn't. Could be because I had moved them down on the page after uploading.
Well, we have dark cold mornings now in Te Horo, getting down to fridge temps and soft frosts on the grass. The animals are pleased to see us with their slice of hay in the morning. The ewes belly's are starting to drop, as we are now 8 weeks from the expected start of lambing. Hercules is still enjoying his bachelor existence with the calves, where he rules the roost. Egg production has slowed down, as 2 of the chooks have gone on strike.
Photo today is from last walk at the beach a couple of weekends ago, puppies looking very cute.
