around the farm

Jamie after a bath...aka Batman. I love this picture!

Until yesterday, I hadn't actually explored the farm that I'm living on...the Sopers have about 16 acres behind their house, where you will find olive trees, lavender bushes, a veggie garden, some old berry patches as well as several sheep.

We took a walk around the farm yesterday with Jamie- mostly to check on the sheep, about 7 of them are expecting lambs soon! Unfortunately one of the ewes, who we think was expecting twins, fell ill with sleeping sickness (apparently common for pregnant sheep expecting more than one lamb) and passed away this afternoon. She's burried in the very back of the farm in the pet/animal graveyard. According to Noeline the sheep used to all have names, but it got too confusing, so now they are just Sheep 1 through Sheep 11 (well, Sheep 10 now).

Jamie and Inca...the impatient sheep dog!

Sheep 1-10.

Jamie and Benny the cat after a bath (Jamie, not Benny had a bath.)

Jamie and I with Sheep 11. Rest in Peace.
