Cold!!!!

Well this Morning was cold......................... freezing white frosty cold!!! Everywhere  looked just beautiful which of course had me running for my camera while all the animals yelled out in indignation for their breakfast.

The sky was a gorgeous soft sunrise red too which gave everything a pinkish glow!

Even the paddocks!

Very frosty barbed wire!

Hungry sheep enjoying their hay!

l noticed Blue sadly standing alone up at the water troughs trying to get a drink! A little blob of black amongst the white! l followed her up there (with three cold goats) to break the ice.

Lizzie just didn't 'get' the concept of ice! She kept on trying and trying to get a drink! Banging her chin furiously again and again!

In went the gumboot and the ice broke.............happy thirsty goat! (and cow!)

Geoff put one of the apple crates in their shed which they love..........correction.....Toggles loves it.... she has claimed top position on the crate complete with soft hay bed and full hay net on hand.....................spoilt???................No wonder they hate getting up in the mornings!

Have l introduced Dot yet??? l don't think l have and if l HAVE.......my apologies! Dot (aptly named because of the pure white dot on the top of her black head ) came to us from some friends of ours as a swap for one of our wethers. She's sweet and very inquisitive.

Anyway ...........Omar just LOVES her! Now he has two!!!!! They go everywhere together. Even the daily ritual of checking out the goat pen every morning. We call them Omar and the Black Sorrows. This will only make sense to the Australians out there . Named after a very famous band from Melbourne comprising of two wonderful Maori sisters called Vikka and Linda Bull. The Band went by the name of Joe Camalliri and the Black Sorrows....... Seemed apt.........
