Bring out your wool! The forecast for the party? Um, not so great. After a week of Indian Summer and highs in the 80's, we are looking forward to mid 50's and rain just in time for our farm party tomorrow. Not to fear though, sheep hate rain and like to snuggle down in the cozy barn during bad weather so they'll still be nice and dry and ready for some hugs :-).
One of my best buds Amy came in last night and this morning we went out to shoot some sheep. Overcast skies make for nice light and working in the barn is always a great learning experience. Feel free to bring your cameras and join in! Some of the least huggable sheep are the most photogenic ;-).
"Just shoot me please. I only like my momma to hug me." Blossom
"Did you get some nice pictures? Make sure my hair looks good!" Rebecca Boone
"You can hug me all you want, but I'll also be happy to show you my good side...and steal your camera." The one and only Graham Lamb
The cool hair boys. Definitely huggable. Keebler and Wooliam
Sweet Marcel. Definitely huggable.
"Just pictures please. Well, maybe a couple hugs." Ewen McTeagle
"The barn is nice and toasty...and perfect for an afternoon nap." Petunia
"But in between raindrops, we'll probably wander out for some grass."
"No! Say cookies! We'll wander out for cookies!"
"We eat cookies in the barn, silly. We eat grass outside."
"They don't have to know that. We can eat cookies both places!"
"Good point."
So, we'll just make the best of it. There will be plenty of hot cider and coffee and I'm sure, no shortage of wool. Come on out between 1:00 and 4:00 on Saturday and enjoy visiting with some of your favorite sheep. If you need directions, email thecrazysheeplady AT gmail DOT com.
And - this is really exciting! National Hug a Sheep Day got picked up by Today.com. "Take a break and relax with 5 photos of people hugging sheep."
