White Stuff in April

The snow no longer falls from the sky. It now comes from the sheep.

Shedding season began a few weeks ago with bits of hair here and there. In the past few days, the sheep's favorite scratching posts turned white with fiber. Clumps of hair dot the paddock and pastures.

The splotches of white will dot the ground until mid-May, when the dandelions take their turn at providing contrast and texture to the landscape.
