Growin' on grass....

I took my pick-up truck out to visit the sheep this morning.  I took them some alfalfa cake.  They came to me, but I think they were just as content to nibble grass, wild onions, and wild parsley.  The lambs are growing thick and stocky, and they are looking more mature all the time.  When they get this size, and even bigger, they tend to look silly nursing their mothers on their knees.  I watched the lambs nibble the tiniest weeds while their mothers ate the big pieces of cake.  Sheep have the neatest little mouths on earth.  They can nibble low weeds that would be hard for us to pull up with our fingers.  They're known for their weed-eating.  If you ever have a patch of land that needs intense  weeding, just hire a band of sheep to do it for you!
