Thursday, August 3, 2006Our Yard ornament! Doesn't she look real?! I don't think she can be, tho, because she was eating dandelions instead of my rose bushes!  No REAL deer would do a thing like that! She comes around every day and spends quite a bit of time in the yard, unless the dogs spot her. She had already left today when they got wind of her. I made her nervous taking her photo, but she'll be back tomorrow. Yesterday she popped out of the yard between Cori and the tennis ball and Cori never even noticed her. When she's focused on that ball she sees nothing else. They don't chase her far. When she runs, they 'll run, too, to the edge of the yard. That about poops, Jack, he sometimes doesn't even bother, and for Cori, it's just a game, like chasing the cats. That only happens when they want to tease her and run by her nose.It wasn't as smoky today, they're getting ahead of the fires, or at least the closest ones. They aren't near us but the smoke comes over the alps in the afternoons. More T-storms are predicted for the weekend, tho.

Only one put up a fuss, he just never has taken to the process. The rest were nervous about bellys and legs but did pretty good. We got more great fleece than we're going to be able to use in awhile but with my new loom getting warmed up soon, there's going to be a need for it! Rosy's wheel will be smokin'!  posted @ 10:11 PM PST [link] Relief!  Luminor thought he was just too white and pretty after getting his hair cut so took a refreshing roll in the dirt then sat in the sun awhile. They all enjoyed being hosed and did a bit of frolicking in celebration. We were glad too, but too pooped to do much frolicking!  posted @ 10:04 PM PST [link] Later on shearing day  Well, here's Rosy, goofing off, making faces at the camera while I'm slaving away combing the vm out of Lil Guy's fleece.  Well, I guess she deserved a bit of a break. Getting that lovely fleece off him was quite a chore. He was fine with the top but didn't care to have his belly or legs touched. But between the three of us we got it done and he got a hosing off later, which he really enjoyed. Rosy wouldn't go for the hosing but did enjoy a shower! posted @ 09:55 PM PST [link] |
