A Carpet of Green.

The farm has turned into a carpet of green grass. As far as I can see there is green.

It has not rained for a week, and the grass has really loved seeing the sun. It is growing.

Whilst the sun is shining there is lots of work to do. Mum and I have been mustering for shearing. 
Mustering is fun, I love to walk along behind the sheep and climb on rocks. 

Yesterday shearers came to the farm and shore some old ewes that are to be sold.

Most of these ewes are 6, 7 or 8 years old. They have had baby lambs every year of their life since they were 2 years old. They will go to the sheep yards to be sold in a few weeks.

I spend some time in the shearing shed watching the action, some time sweeping up the wool on the floor and some time squashing wool in the bins. It can be a lot of fun!

Yesterday there was an extra special treat, a set of mysterious twins appeared in the mob.

Dad and Mum have no idea how they have appeared. 

None of the ewes are meant to having babies now. 

I spent lots of time cuddling them, they even fell asleep. They are so CUTE!

 

Shearing is finished in the day and the shearers head home, and

Dad takes the ewes back to the green grassy paddocks.
