The Great Sheep Experiment comes to an end

Well, almost end.

We are selling our dear sheepies.

I know. You're all sad and sorrowful over this news. I'm sorry.

I'm sad too. But when it comes down to the sheep or the yard, I choose the yard. Or more specifically, a flower-filled, poop-free yard. Where children can run free between the trampoline and pool and back inside again without being yelled at to check their feet.

(Miley misses the yard too. She would also like to run free without being chased back inside toot sweet by the yard bullies.)

So did the great sheep experiment work?

Not how we wanted it to. Russell will tell you the sheep "thinned" the grass greatly but the truth is we probably needed to double our flock to have enough to keep the lawn short... it still required mowing. It was definitely a fun experiment though and I'm truly glad we've had them for the last couple of months.

I will miss watching them and laughing at their shenanigans. We all will.

(I might not miss this guy, he's kinda ornery.)

We do still plan to get sheep again, we just need to wait until after our Christmas trees are harvested so we can keep them in pastures instead of our yard.

So thus ends another harebrained husband idea Halverson family adventure!

Don't worry, there's sure to be more ;)
