Flowers!

I love this season! With a little warmth and sunshine the flowers begin to open and I feast on the colors. By afternoon the rain returns and steam rises like fog from the heated blacktop driveway.

A second sheep began limping yesterday. Stomper had the same inflamed skin between the toes of his rear foot that Gimpy had on the front. I'm getting good at treating them, which is to say the sheep are getting used to going into the holding pen and being handled (and getting an animal cracker), and Stomper's limp was gone by evening. All were fine this morning. I think we're dealing with scald rather than rot, so as the grass dries and their feet dry out the problem will resolve itself. All the sheep are named but one, and he is the most reluctant to interact with us.
