I'm normally quite happy potting away in the garage alone.....the radio blarring, the occasional head popping in the door letting me know where they're off too, or there's a phone call for me etc.
BUT NOT TONIGHT!
I had company all right. I had one other set of eyes glued to every move I made.
If only sheep could talk, I'd love to know what she was thinking.
For those who have been following my blog, you would know that when I put my shelves up for my bonsai pots in hubbys garage, there was a bit of quiet rebellion with a broken down mower put beside them so I wouldn't steal any more of his space.
Well it was my turn today to steal a bit more. You see, as I went to shift my huge flock of sheep this morning (all 12 of them) I was surprised to see one standing proudly in a puddle of mud with 2 newborn lambs, unfortunately there was another laying dead beside them. My first thought was "I gotta get them inside out of the rain and mud" After a bit of pinching gates and some hastily bought straw I had them safe and sound and more importantly dry, in the garage.

I suspect she might be keeping me company for a day or two yet....the forecast is for cold wintery winds, hail and even a little snow. Here's hoping we don't get any more unexpected surprises - otherwise his mower will have to go!!
Just thought I'd mention that the untidy side of the garage is HIS.
Totally unrelated to pot making I know, but its nice to have something a little different now and again.

I have to admit that in between rolling out clay for the bottom of an oval pot, I spent a lot of time just looking at her and her two lambs. I'm sure she's used to hearing Shania Twain and Adele blaring from the garage, she didn't seem phased at all. (did turn it down a smidgeon though)
