Hot Hazy Days

sheep in the back field...shady grove and yummy grass

The sheep are jumping over the creek again to graze up in the back field, finding shade and great grasses to cool and fill them. The heat continues, which is rare for Maine. We're going to break 90 again today and probably again tomorrow. Their fleeces are not growing in too quickly in this weather - who can blame them? It's still too hot for me to think about knitting - which just involves handling a little wool...not wearing it! Eager to get Bill and Obed into their gentlemen's suite and hopefully have some very controlled breeding this year. Soon enough, we'll have cool mornings and frost on the pumpkins. And, sheep eager to breed.
