A Sheep of One’s Own

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

Yep. That’s right. Sweetgeorgia’s got a sheep!

Last night was our annual little gift exchange dinner among friends — and my friends got together and adopted a sheep for me! They rock. Check it out:

Can you blame me for thinking it might be a hamster?

I remember mentioning the “adopt-a-sheep” thing last year and the idea must have stuck! This sheep will be from Owens Farm in New Hampshire. The farm sends letters throughout the year with photos to let you know how life is progressing. Since I’m allowed to visit my little sheep every couple months, Michelle suggested we fly down to visit the sheep in July as part of the celebration of my big 3-0. Shiny!

Sheepy Love

And they bought me this little sheep ornament at the Circle Craft Christmas Market too — but rather than hanging it on the tree, I’m going to use it to decorate my wheel year-round!
