Snowy the sheep in less snowy days
So. This snow has a downside. It is called “Frozen water pump.” For the past few days, I have had to schlep water, two gallons at a time, about 300′ through knee-high snow all the way to the sheep’s water trough. Why only two gallons at a time, you ask? Well, because their gate is frozen open in a way that your average winter coat-wearing woman can shimmy through but the average full-pelted sheep cannot. Thus, I can’t carry (or lift over the gate) anything fatter than a gallon at a time, either.
It has all been rather humbling. Poor sheep! But it’s almost a month until spring…
Glad you came to visit!

Ugh. On the positive side, sheep don’t drink very much.
Been there done that last year!–now think cows worth hmmphh! Been lucky this year so far—just a bit of hot water to un thaw the larger unheated tank once in a while.
