This time of year, with all it's darkness, it's hard to find things to get excited about. The cold fog, no snow for skiing, a bare vegetable garden....but then there is feeding time. Our little furry friends get very excited about these two times of day; I guess they are a lot like us in many ways. The sheep get a breakfast and a dinner, really they are the same food, just different times of day, but don't tell them. As much of a "chore" it is to put on the clothes and scuffle out there, I do enjoy it once I am there. Not only am I met with excited faces, but it is a great time to fondle the fleece! Shearing time is getting closer!
Here are a few shots from this mornings feeding.

| Lots of room to eat but this feeder has the best hay! |

| Tom, the handy feeder builder, built these fine feeders. The sheep find them very agreeable. |

| The banties happy with the same ol' scratch |
 |
| Pele, the guard llama, gets his portion. |

| Strudel looking silly with breakfast on her head |
