I love to watch the sheep when they hit the pasture for the first time in the spring. Not that they have a tough time of it in the barn, with all the food, water and room to lounge they could possibly need, but there is nothing like a green hillside. They run out of the Poor White Gate and up the hill, doing mule kicks and leaps, like they've been released from jail. The recent spring-like weather jump started my grass. It won't keep growing with temps diving again next week. I will continue to feed hay, but after the green grass the sheep will turn their noses up at it. Here's hoping Spring will come back again real soon.

Ahhhh, Green Grass!
