Sometimes I wonder about you....try a Hot Toddy...it,ll clear your sinuses...the way i make a Hot Toddy is...2 parts Scotch whisky..in a mug...add 1 tablespoon clear honey...top up with boiling water...allow to cool a little...then drink....guaranteed to warm the cockles o. yer hert...

Absolutely LOVE these..........some one loves Ewe!!!  :D

They remind me so much of the work of Maude Lewis, a deceased local artist who's work now fetches $$$. She lived an impoverished life, crippled. The few dollars she charged while she was alive kept food on the table and bought her more art supplies.

Wullie, there's a herd of Highland cattle less than 1/2 hr drive from me. I've always wanted to get out of the jeep, climb over the fence and HUG them........just not sure the sentiment would be returned in kind.  :D

I,m sure if you asked the Farmer nicely...and perhaps fluttered your eye lashes...or became a damsel in mock distress...he would oblige you....just make sure his missus ain,t around when you do.... ;D

We've got a farm with longhorn cattle backing up to our place.  The eldest ones are Jim & TammyFaye (the old farmer named them after the debunked pastor/wife - because they are flashy and are high maintenance!  LOL).

They also have a few Emu, a zebra and miniature horses!  The donkeys crack me up with their ruckus!!!

Believe me,, get up close to these little buggers and that thought rapidly dissipates !!  These need a good shearing !!  And a bath and brush wouldn`t hurt !!
