Ewes Not Fat, Ewes Fuzzy


Here is Petunia, in all her splendor! She has on
a year and a half worth of fleece, and glad of it.
She is so cozy in the miserable north-wet weather. She is a Sennybridge Welsh sheep, as is her pal Lillibette. They have gotten two apples each this morning when they came bahhhhing at the back door. When they hear John's voice they know its time for a morning treat. If the apple has a worm in it they will not eat it. They are strict vegetarians!
Look how nicely groomed her fleece is! She & Lillibette use the apple tree to rub against for grooming and back-scratching.
And we have noticed that they have begun to chew on the bottom branches of the Christmas tree! We'd better bring it in the house!
I am working on the very-fancy sterling silver Celtic brooches today. One has given me trouble with the settings, but I have one setting done. And am hoping it all going easier today. I cannot wait to see how it comes to look when it is all formed and polished and set! Making magic things is ever so fun. I will surely post photos when they are done.
