Sheep!

Posted on by

For many years, we’ve passed this cemetery, which is right next to Swayze Inn Farm. Once, Tom said he had seen the sheep in the cemetery and we’ve tried to catch them in there, ever since.

There’s no shoulder on the road and Tom pulled onto the grass and pushed me out of the car.

VICTORY!

 

I’m sorry it’s not very “sheepy” but I was using my iPad and could only see my reflection. When I saw them start to walk away, I only moved my head and not the iPad. Every day is another lesson learned, isn’t it?

For the non-knitters – I hope you understand my joy at finally being able to get close to them.

For the knitters – SHEEP!!!

Before and After

This morning, I did a bit (3 1/2 hours) of weeding in the veggie garden. Only three out of six beds looked like the before pix.

Tomorrow, I won’t be able to move but it’s worth it.

You’re Gonna Be Jealous…

of what we did, Saturday morning.

#######UPDATE########

I was a bit off in the time it takes for it to heat up. Usually Tom switches over to hot water for the last half hour of filling.  Unfortunately, he went out and came home just in time for us to shut it off. ALL cold water means about 2 days to “warm enough to sleep on”.

Last night we covered it with the mattress pad, sheets, down comforter, cotton blanket and fleece blanket. Then us. Then we used another cotton blanket and fleece blanket, just to keep in some body heat.

I’m pretty sure it was a lot like sleeping in one of those ice hotels, only no one was pouring us vodka.
