Sheep Appreciation Day

Alice and Abbott are feeling a bit left out in the aftermath of Violet's Carp Fair related fame.  As such, I have deemed it Sheep Appreciation Day here on Gael Glen Farm to give Alice and Abbott a chance to have their attributes appreciated accordingly.

Abbott is our ram lamb here on the farm.  He is the lightest coloured of all our sheep and he has beautiful spiral horns.  However, as his horns continue to grow, he can never decide whether his ears should go in front or behind them - he switches it up almost on a daily basis.

It is an ears behind the horns kind of day.

 Abbott's favourite activity is literally jumping with joy.  He goes speeding down the field, springs into the air and kicks out his hind legs.  I have yet to catch a good photo of him in action but it looks something like this - it is hilarious.

Alice is the mother sheep of our two lambs.

Alice's favourite activities are eating and "baaing".  Alice is by far the most vocal of all our sheep.  She begins to "baa" around sunset and continues incessantly until someone goes out to give her grain and lock the barn door.  Luckily our neighbours are happy to eat their suppers listening a barnyard soundtrack because there is no way not to hear Alice each evening.  They actually think it is funny.  I wonder how noisy Charlie P. the donkey will be when she arrives on the farm later this month?  Soon we will have a full barnyard choir on our hands.
