These pictures were taken at our back gate this morning.
Photo 1: Our early morning visitor.
Photo 2: Hubby saying hello.
Photo 3: Some of the other neighbours.
Hope you enjoy seeing some of the sheep we have in the paddock next to the house at the moment. Shirley

No theses ones are quiet. When they have lambs they can get quite noisy. As to the smell it depends on which way the wind is blowing. That is one one the joys of country living I guess.

Many thanks. Sometimes it is sheep out there and sometimes cows. The cows get a bit noisy though.
169064Looks to me as though that sheep is saying to your husband................."If you think I'm going to be tempted through your garden gate by a mint leaf, you've got another thing coming!"

Good one Dennis. I think if the gate was left open it would have come in and ate all his vegie patch, which by the way is not very big. Shirley
11929Hi Shirley,
These pictures remind me of a time I was in New Zealand and I asked a question of the Tour Leader - I said,
" How often do you shear your sheep here in NZ?"
To which his smart reply was - NEVER! WE DON'T SHARE OUR SHEEP WITH ANYONE!
Of course you have to speak it in a New Zealand accent to understand the difference between shear and share! Being an Aussie I laughed and laughed out loud for ages every time I'd look at a sheep.
Just thought you might like this - I'm sure our Kiwi friends would appreciate this. Love Chris

Great Chris. Reminds me when I was in a Computer store and they had a large white woolly dog. Hubby was patting it and I just caught sight out of the corner of my eye. I said "Oh I thought it was a sheep". The guy behind the counter said, "No he's not asleep" He had a accent too. Perhaps he was a New Zealander. LOL

Yes she was very curious. She had been watching him pull out the old bean plants. I do not know how many there are. At a guess I would say 50 To 60 They can go down into another paddock as well.
89895How lovely - looks like they have just been shorn.
