I finished painting my new studio today. I'll take pictures for the blog when it dries and the gear is organized. It's a hideous mess now, but I do love the color. The garage tends to be gray and dreary, so I went with a bright, cheery color.
With the painting done we decided to take the sheep for their first walk about.
We got permissions to cross properties from everyone at the New Year's Eve party last night, so we crossed this field (which the sheep will be able to stay in once we put up temporary fencing on one 300 foot section) to get to the trailhead for the beach trail where there is lots of good grass to eat.
There's a fenced parking area there where the boys were able to graze awhile. Bob stood by to protect the pine tree from the gluttons. We don't want the neighbors complaining the boys are destroying their garden.
Hattie stayed on the job making sure the boys didn't wander too much.
This is heaven for a border collie.
The walk home went well and the boys were happy to be back, taking off at a run to their open gate. They do like getting out and exploring so we'll be doing this again soon. Hattie will be having sheep dreams tonight.
Also tonight -- the super moon!
