The New Lawnmower

We looked out yesterday morning to see one of our neighbour's sheep had made her way into the garden.
We decided not to chase her but let her give the grass a much needed trim.
She was later joined by some of her friends so the lawn had a mid-winter feed and weed.

A very lovely lawnmower. Look at that thick gorgeous coat!

Looks like someone her size could take care of several lawns!

What beautiful long wool she has! She looks as if she's eating for two.

That's my kind of lawn mower. Wonderful capture of your sheep helper. V.

I've always liked the idea of having my grass mowed by sheep or goats! What a great shot! V

Far superior at feeding and weeding than the two hens that seem to have taken a shine to our garden ;-) Great shot btw. V

Caught in the act is the look I see see ;-). Great capture and timing, and glad to hear the lawn is trimmed for a while.

What a great gardener

She looks like she is capable of munching quite a lot of grass :0)

Ah - the grass is always greener...

And some organic plant food to keep it healthy

How convenient :^). In addition to the yard work you were able to get a great image. ~V~

I wouldn't chase them away either and I would grab the camera just like you did. Is she pregnant?

They do have their uses - I see that they tidy up the occasional twig and bramble too!
