Merry Christmas! :D :weee

We are having a white Christmas this year! First time in a long time. I had to work today, 9-5. It was SO busy, especially around 10-11 and again 1-2. I didn't have time to breathe! My boss let me off an hour early and then I got halfway home in my rear-wheel drive car while it was snowing when my mom called and said she was coming to pick me up :rolleyes: Luckily I had just entered a small town where there's a business so I was able to just park my car there. We're going to pick it up tomorrow. I should've just driven the rest of the way home lol.

It was so funny at work today lol--like 7 guys are fighting for my attention and so whenever I would need to stock something, they would all volunteer to carry stuff for me (like bags of milk or packs of water bottles, milk jugs, apple juices, etc). I would've been more than happy to do it myself, but oh well lol. They were even fighting over who would clean my car off for me :rolleyes: I ended up doing it myself because my boss started yelling at all of them to leave me alone and get back to work :gig

So when I got home I went outside to see my sheep. My close-faced ewes had little snow beards :D They were so adorable. Unfortunately it was getting dark & foggy so the pictures didn't turn out so well. I also got a picture of my sheep grazing in snow, showing how they do it--they use their nose and push a section of snow off to one side and then they eat the grass, now exposed. So I bet tomorrow morning, there will be a bunch of patches of grass in the field lol.

Sheep don't want to use their shelter at all (they're laying in the snow), so the cats are taking advantage of it. Tomorrow when it's light out again I will take some nice photos. We live next to the woods so it's always so picturesque with snow :)

All this Christmas talk reminds me....I still need to wrap the presents I got for my family! :lol:

That's funny about the guys at work Sheepgirl! And little do they know that being a farmer, you probably can carry heavy stuff with no problem, lol! You just let them continue to fight over you. :thumbsup

Love the snow! I can't wait to see your Christmas day sheep in the snow pics! Merry Christmas! I've got to go finish wrapping presents, too!

You keep those boys away.....

Yeah, it is a White Christmas, but I feel sorry for all of the road crew workers that have to work to clear the roads.

Bridgemoof - I hope you had a fabulous Christmas! And yes it's so funny because the boxes of frozen fries are 40 lbs and you should hear how many of them offer to carry it for me :lol: I just tell them I've got it, and I'm used to lifting 50 lb feed bags!! hahaha

TBC - You sound like my dad!! hahaha But yeah--I didn't think of it that way :( Those poor people had to be out plowing roads on Christmas Eve... they did a good job though! ;) Unfortunately we're supposed to get more sleet/ice/snow tonight, so more work for them. I hope you had a great Christmas!

elevan - Thanks! Merry Christmas to you, too! :D

Took some pics of the sheep in the snow today before/during/after breakfast :D

I was pretty good sneaking up on the flock this morning.

JK, who am I kidding? They always know when I'm outside. It's like they can smell me (not that I'm smelly!! :lol:)
