Stragglers

We have some seriously scraggly looking animals right now. Amelia has shed about 3/4 of her hair...and the rest is taking its time coming out. Look how pretty and clean she is underneath that hair! 

She looks positively fantastic compared to poor Thomas. 

You wouldn't think he could look much worse....but it turns out he can. Remember how last year I took scissors to Ewean and "sheared" her? Well Thomas' neck ruff/mane was all dirty and matted so I thought a little trim was in order.

Thomas said no photos of the his man mane post-haircut...I didn't think it was too noticeable until I got a "WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO THOMAS???" text at work in the afternoon. I guess I didn't miss my calling as a barber... 

The ladies still seem to find him attractive. After breakfast, it's time for a baby daddy visit. 

Princess Leah is bigger than the twins!

You know what's worse than scraggly hair sheep? Sheep that you thought were hair sheep and aren't!!!

Oprah says she has no plans of looking like scraggly Amelia and Thomas. 

Look, a sheep dog! 

...except she is actually just looking for grain. That's pretty much exactly like the other fake sheep dog, Ryan. 

No, Zoey, "be a sheep dog" didn't mean literally cover yourself in wool.

Good thing we have Abby to keep this place running.

And Saul. He has fully taken on the role of farm king. He's no Zebra Head, but he sure gives the ladies more exercise than ZH did (as in, ZH mostly sat in one spot and ate...and ate...and ate). 

Zebra Head live on in ZH Junior. Three of Magpie's chicks are pretty clearly Saul offspring. That big guy on the right...he's got ZH written all over him.

The new meat birds are getting all of their feathers in. So pretty!

We brought the first batch in for processing last week and had our first roast chicken a few nights ago. It was really, really good! 

Goat!

We sold a bunch of our tomato plants at the farm stand and we've almost covered the cost of seed, which is nice. We have about 10 varieties for people to choose from and they're in big pots. The unbelievable part is that someone has now broken into our farm stand cash box twice!!! Who does that??
