The temps have been very mild for this time of year. In the mid 40's and 50's. The animals and I both have greatly enjoyed the warm spell. The sheep decided to come up to see what I was doing out and about the farm yesterday.
If you have never experienced seeing happy Shetland sheep, you are definitely missing something :-)
The boys have this happy bouncy jumpy thing they do, a spring in their step, one minute they are standing on all fours then the next minute they have popped straight up in the air.
I tried to catch them in the act...it's hard, very hard.

Here's Angus doing his happy dance...you know he's saying
I Feel Good!

Love the jumping sheep! Remarkable that you were able to catch them in midair!
It's warm here too for this time of year today! Nice wooly boys.
I definitely see it! What fun! Those sheep are loving the chilly weather!
My ram lamb had the hippity-hops the other day in and out of the barn. Boy was he having a good time. Great photography
That is too funny! I love sheep! (and goats!)
I never known any sheep but can see I'd fall in love with 'em. So you shave 'em down and use their coats? Do ya eat 'em too? I guess that sheep and goats would require the same diet and health care?
Absolutely adorable!
What a fun photo shoot! And the sheep are just adorable!

They look so happy. :-) It does my heart good, although, I did feel a little tug when I saw Kelly's sweet face. Love that little sheepie, but it looks like he has nestled in there. Aren't they just a hoot, when they do that popcorn jumping? I also think it's funny when they push/shove each other as they are walking side by side---like boys in a schoolyard. Thanks for sharing the pictures, you made my day.
