Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?

in Farm Critters

The weather remains changeable here. Yesterday it was up in the 70's, last night it rained, this morning it was in the 40's. At least the sun was shining brightly when I went out to do the morning chores.

The sheep were still resting in the main pasture, in a nice, neat row near the orchard:
That's the matriarch on the left, Coconut, then Rowan, Domori, Payapa and Valrhona. They're retired now from producing lambs, though of course, they still produce wool! In fact, each one produces a different color. Being Shetland sheep, some of those colors have special names. From left to right, their colors are: white, gray, moorit, shaela and musket.

So to the question, "Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?"
The answer is yes! And so do all the other different colored sheep!
