"I am a Farmer--I Work in the Fields All Day..."
Just a small post with a couple of shinies. A few days ago Maria and I went to an organic sheep farm, which was very exciting, especially as it was the most beautiful place in approximately the world. Especially as it contained an actual lock, from an actual canal. The lock is defunct now, but the stone walls are still there and the husband set up a fountain in the pool that emanates therefrom.
And the sheep graze in the old cemetery.
I plan to get into the will of these people if at all possible. :D It is incredible. At any rate, Maria had camera in hand the whole time, so here are a couple of photographs from it!
Here's the lock! How super is that, anyway? Really, really super, is the answer. ^____^
The fountain! All gravity. No electricity. :D
Ain't they beauties?
The wife's obese border collie and I herded the sheep back to the barn together. We did this by flailing a lot (me) and barking a lot (her) and chasing the sheep all over kingdom come.
This is officially the biggest organic sparrow-grass field in the entire world.
GRATUITOUS CHICK PICTURE. Actually, chicks at the top, poults at the bottom. The poults are completely idiots and didn't even figure out how to drink water until this evening, but they are winning and sweet and gawky and awesome. The chicks are smart and fuzzballs and like to step on each other's heads.
