Hey! What happened????

All of a sudden, Fall is here. Fall in this part of the world equals rain....and lots of it. Actually Winter, Spring and part of summer equals rain too...in varying amounts.

Hmmmmm, guess I should have got that moss off the barn roof before the new moss started growing...



The cool weather has the emus racing around, and they were definitely wet. Here we built that nice little run in shed for them...not even sure they really use it!

Rain kind of adds an interesting look to an already interesting "emu do".....

Here's Ginger....

and here's Fred....



The chickens managed to stay dry under the overhang of the barn, I was hoping to get an image for the saying "Madder than a wet hen" but it's not going to happen today. This girl looks far from mad.....

Although I think they were all getting fairly irritated with me...didn't I know that I was supposed to feed them?


I started looking around for the sheep and the donkey and spotted them in the lower pasture...

The second one of them spotted me they started heading up the hill.....
They were definitely wet, and some were sporting some major VM!

Here's Bella doing a little cud zen with a nice hunk of blackberry vine woven into her wool....
Bevin and Ellen are looking a bit damp and Ellen has a lovely fern motif going on.....


Claire was thinking "Can I go back to Eastern Oregon now?????"


Flora was in such a hurry to get up the hill to see if there was something better to eat she brought a little of the lower pasture with her. That's Ilse, her best friend, next to her...

Disappointed, milling sheep, waiting for the hay to show up.....

Jasmine said she wasn't in the mood to have her picture taken and didn't I know that donkeys are desert dwellers and not fish?
The guineas also reminded me that they are originally from Africa and shouldn't be subjected to such abuse....


















Coopurrrr, my little feral cat, was thinking that maybe I should be considerate and put down something he could walk on top of the wet pavement so he could get into the garage where it was nice and dry....

The rain didn't bother the young dogs at all, in fact, I think they thought it was funny the reaction they would get out of me by bumping into my bare legs with their wet toys....(almost said "wet balls" but for some reason that didn't sound right....)


Yep, you know it's boring here when all I can find to blog about is wet animals.....:)

I will be going on another sheep adventure soon though. :) Next weekend I will be heading back to OR to the OFFF (Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival) so hopefully will have some more interesting material after that! What? Am I picking up another sheep.....why yes! I'm picking up a lovely little Shetland ewe named Shady Oaks Matisse, a moorit HS (no t) sweetie. :) The scary thing is that there will be room in my trailer....I'm thinking about loading it up with something and only leaving enough room for one sheep.......
