I couldn't decide which of these I liked best. I like seeing the horses in the front field almost as much as the sheep. This morning was especially pretty.
The morning coolness won't last long. We have a brutal forecast this week. I'd be happy if I never saw the 90's again and we are stuck with them all week. Yesterday was exceptionally miserable.
Baaxter was sick - a combination of the heat, disrupted weekend schedule and vaccination brought on pneumonia which in turn brought on an episode of bloat. It's scary being a sheep mom. As I sat on the floor of the kitchen with a fan blowing on him all day, I tried not to think of the 90s outside, the 80s inside and the 104 snuggled up next to me. I was just glad I was able to help him feel a little better.
He's much improved this morning, but still not himself. I'm hoping another day of stall (because at this point we really can't call it a "kitchen" ;-) rest and a second day of meds will really help. Saint Tim put the window ACs in last night so we can keep him a little cooler this afternoon. Maybe with the "stall" door open, the rest of the farm will cool off too. Just kidding. Sort of...
