Lambs and ice

 Cassidy's 3 day old.

It is so hard to get pictures

of the all black lambs/sheep.

 Magic and her pure Romney ram.

 Natalie and her many speckled lamb.

Chip-Horned Dorset yearling

Jeremy-Dorset/Romney

Stormy-Romney

 Jeremy is a much bigger ram

than his father Stormy.

 I have high hopes for Chip.

Look at those horns.

His mother was not supposed to get

bred last year, but I am glad she did

as we lost Chip's father and we did not

have another other Horned Dorset rams

born that would have interested us for breeding.

You can see all the wood ash Jerry has spread, and

in other places (like the driveway) the blue stone/sand

that the neighbor's have spread. You can also see how 

steep it is going up to the chicken house.

 Going up to the barn.

 Coming out of the barn and headed to the house.

 Looks pretty safe right now. 

Even going down the driveway.

 Going up the driveway.

Going across the driveway.

Right now it is 49 degrees out. Ice is melting.

That is great. Until, the sun goes down and the 

temperature plummets. Then any water on the 

ash or sand freezes back into glass.

Earlier this week, I slipped on said 'glass'.

Do you know what hurts worse than falling on

the ice after shoulder surgery. Slipping on the ice

and having the affected arm swing out away from 

your body and then snap back to your side. 😭

My physical therapist was no amused.

I managed to undo at least 2 weeks worth of

PT. He would like to wrap me up in bubble wrap

and tie me to my chair until I am fully healed.

That could be a LONG few months...

And, no, the ice grippers do NOT work

when the ice is like glass. At least not on the hill.
