Before the frost...

I had several big pots full of plants and flowers this summer. I enjoyed them and was sad to think that the frost would blacken and shrivel them. So I decided to give them a different send off... I would put them in the yard with the lambs.

My plan was met with approval, and each day they decimate yet another pot... munching through coleus and lantana, geranium and marigold. They leave a few stems and some dirt, and wander away looking awfully satisfied. I like to think of my plants feeding the lambs and not just withering some soon autumn night.

Happy lambs...

Chris and I learned how to fence. Chris did most of the work... I mostly handed him stuff and admired his mad manly skills. We extended the fence into a bit of the meadow that is waist high in tall grass and weeds. The sheep watched us work, and the moment I let them out of their pasture they made a bee line for the deep green growth. Then they happily sampled the smorgasbord of delights there... grass and vetch and many lambie delicacies. We were all so happy!
