Uuuuuhhhhhh...noooooooooooooo. Let me explain. That's a female ewe and a male ram wears a box around it's neck with colored crayon/chalk in it. When he mounts a female the chalk leaves it's mark. That's how the herdsman estimates who might be pregnant, when to expect the lamb....etc. Here is a link that might be useful: Chalk box This post was edited by nicole__ on Fri, Aug 1, 14 at 23:14

Very interesting, Bob. Dorothy with an ipod! She must have traded those red shoes for it.

This red squirrel has been entertaining us daily for weeks in his efforts to get to the feeders. First he goes up the pole....no good. Then he goes into the shrub on the left...no go, so then he tries the shrub on the right, nope again. So he tries the maple tree behind. That doesn't work either. So it's back to the drawing board. Sooner or later he is going to succeed.

One of Jack's Beanstalks I think, as it was cut back to less than a foot in the spring. Over 14 feet and growing more every day. That is the back side showing.
