BAD SHEEP!!!


OK, so it's all my fault. I forgot to fasten the gate when I left the girls' paddock last night. And we got a nice, little thunder storm. Lots of wind. I guess the gate blew open. I awoke the morning (sunny, cool & beautiful!) to all my woolly ladies in the back yard....


This is what's left of my beautiful, Rhododendron bush that I planted earlier this summer.


And the remains of my glorious, Clematis...


I was surprised to see that they actually seemed to prefer the Rhododendron over the Hostas (their previous favorite)...



I even had a couple of treelings started in pots on the patio. Fortunately, I had put ONE of them up to keep it safe from the rabbits.

I must have found my wayward ladies, shortly after they made their break. They hadn't even had time to demolish all the day-lilies yet! I'm not too concerned about anyone getting sick. They've hit the Day-lilies, hostas and Clematis, many times before. The only new victim was the Rhododendron. And if they get sick from eating that, THEY DESERVE IT!!!!!

  1. I just HAVE to laugh at this one! The guilty look on Dream's face says it all! :) And here I've been trying to keep my girls out of the soggy pasture because I'm afraid they'll eat the mushrooms popping up all over - yes, it's been wet enough here in No. AZ for mushrooms to sprout in my pasture! Oy!
