That afternoon after church I went down to the barn to turn Russell out into the arena for awhile. Braveheart was still sparring with the rope swing, so I took some more pictures in the afternoon light:
I don't know who is more easily amused, my ram (by the rope swing) or me (by watching my ram)!
That's it for now at . . .
That is too cute! I love it when "dumb" animals prove the world wrong by being creative enough to entertain themselves. Wish you had a video camera for those antics!
ReplyDeleteHeck, I know people who aren't that intelligent.
ReplyDeleteMeant to get that into the first bit. I need my morning tea still. ;-)
I hung a "horse ball" and a tire for my rams. They become VERY possessive of it (just ask Kathy in Az!)
ReplyDeleteBravehart is a very nice looking ram ~ although, I have to confess, I definitely prefer horns! His coat looks so tight. Doesn't it compress the fleece?
How fun! Don't you just love it when the sheep play! I always loved watching them jumping and running. This with the swing is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your new background as well as the pictures of your ram sparring with the swing :)
ReplyDeleteCome on over to pick up your award!
I can see that Kelly has a new project on his honey-do list. Build a swing for the sheep. He's gonna love that one!
ReplyDeleteMiniKat, my digital camera takes video clips, but they are too large to upload and I can't figure out how to make them smaller. Besides, if I got close enough for good footage, he would stop playing and come over to see me.
ReplyDeleteNancy, the coats do "compress" the fleece but that's no problem; they don't felt or cot.
Coming right over, Shannon!
Silly rams, aren't they funny?
ReplyDeleteI've left you a blog award... and wanted to let you know that I really like your new background! :D
Now this cozy wallpaer looks so inviting...it goes well with the frosty sedum photo. I love that some of the maple leaves are scattered in there too. The sun rise and foggy orchard photos are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about getting a bread maker and baking my own bread...do you have one? Orange, cranberry pecan bread...now doesn't that sound yummy? I still can not find any mint chips:( for the cookies.
Stay warm and happy...
I need to hang something like your swing for my wether. Every once in awhile, I'll hear him out there bashing his head against the barn. Perhaps something hanging from a tree would keep him entertained.
