I awoke to the frostiest landscape I've seen in 14 years on our farm. Absolutely breathtaking! Stella bumped up against the fence, and was covered with frost. The temp was zero, but sunny and still.
It was an amazing morning to be outside.
Olivia and I took a walk up to the secret garden.
Even the scraggly elm in the ram paddock was beautiful today.
Belle is always quick to investigate anyone on the road, and was happy to find that today it's only me. Mornings like this are priceless!
What beautiful pictures! The frost was amazing. I love the way it outlines everything. Including the sheep. We have had temps in the 40's. We have had only one wood stove going for the last few days. They promised snow today but that never happend. I really miss it. I think winter forgot us this year. Watch me get really paid back for those words! :) Kelly
Home to a beautiful flock of registered Icelandic Sheep in Northern Illinois. 2011 was is our ninth season of lambing. We’ve worked hard to build a flock that encompasses all the aspects we love about the Icelandic breed--hardiness, exceptional meat conformation, superb maternal instincts, prolificacy and outstanding fleeces. Please look around and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. We offer quality breeding stock, both mill spun and hand spun yarns, roving, and raw fleeces. Welcome to Red Brick Road Farm!Questions?rbrfarm@centurylink.net
Wondering about the names of our sheep? "Most" of our sheep are named according to the year they were born, especially those born here on our farm. Our first lambs had "A" names, so this being our 6th year, our lambs all have "F" names. It makes it easy for us when looking at our flock to know the age of the sheep. The sheep that we bring in to our flock sometimes have their own names, or I'll rename them according to our flock year. On this blog, I'm trying to post the oldest ewes first, then I'll move on to rams, then lambs.
