And Sheep Too!

We saw several large flocks of sheep on our way to Cibola National Wildlife Refuge. Most of them were pastured in alfalfa fields. I was sort of surprised at that, thinking that the alfalfa might be too rich for them, even causing bloat. But, we saw several hundred of them on several different fields, so I guess it's common practice in this area. This portion of a flock had wandered away from the main group and were fairly close to the road. This band seemed to be all adult sheep --


This group has LOTS of lambs. They were very curious and all came over to the fence when we slowed down to take a picture --


Forry started on one of his projects today. He bought a motion detector light to replace the light over Auntie Violet's front door. When he took the new light out of the box and actually read the directions, he discovered that it asked for a silicone bead to be put on around it to seal the water out. Of course, he didn't have any in his tool box, which necessitated a trip into the large Ace Hardware store in Blythe. I don't know that he has ever done a project that didn't require a purchase of some kind...
