What's Red And Green And White All Over

That's not some stupid joke you know.

Let's start with White.....
I looked out my window this morning and "My Deck" is white. Yes.... first snowfall... (gag)! I had to dig out my winter jacket.... (but I still refuse to wear the sox.. Hahahahaha!)That's my toe poking out there!!!...
A few years ago I wanted a really unique jacket so I bought a plain black heavy fleece jacket and decided to add a little flair. I got out my embellishments and here is the result of my creative juices. (Someone who loves Hollowe'en and follows this blog might think the spider and spider's web in the centre is neat!) I am not a big aficionado of Hollowe'en. Unfortunately when I moved to the country there was no longer any reason to decorate for the event. No one comes to my house because we just live too far away. We bring, or I should say, brought our girls into town to do some trick or treating and then we would go to the fireworks that our volunteer fire department puts off each year. So unfortunately I don't put out pumpkins and ghosts in my trees and other symbols of the season.... but I do wear my jacket.

Anyway when I got up this morning and discovered that there was a white coating over everything.... well, I just wanted to barf quite frankly. I carried on down stairs and thought about green trees in spring and the green of the leaves on my flowers and even how nice it is to walk through the woods when green surrounds you..... then I looked in my dye pot and was very happy to find green wool which had been sitting all night in an effort to exhaust the dye pot of yesterday. This should look very nice in a saddle pad I think.

After I made breakfast for all and had decided to brave the north winds to find my October jacket in the shed, I happened to look out the window and noticed the punk sheep in the paddock. Punk sheep???! you're thinking. Oh yes.... there is nothing ordinary about this day because we discovered that Greigg, who is always so placid and dignified, has decided to attract the ewes with a new doo. Have no fear this is not blood. It is just the paint from the red gate that Greigg has decided to rub his obviously very itchy head against.

Meanwhile in the next paddock over, there is Reece... lamb of lovely fleece.... and she's white too.
Sporting her own divine and very fashionable coat...

Aaah the oddities of this small little northern farm....
So what's red and green and white all over??? ..... everything around me!
