It's mid-summer, but feels more like fall.....

The weather has been much cooler this year than I was hoping for- the garden is not doing as well as I would like. Late planting, due to the copious amount of rain we had in the early spring, coupled with lower than normal temperatures, means that my squash and pumpkins are JUST blooming now, and I haven't seen any fruit on them yet. Hopefully we'll see something!
The lambs though, love this cooler weather- they are growing like crazy and haven't seen the set-back in growth that very high temperature usually brings. I am very happy with my lambs this year, the finns are just beautiful, and the more I see of them, the more I like them! This is a picture of one of my piebald badgerface ram lambs born here this year.
