Moving the sheep, originally uploaded by laurenipsum. We moved the sheep & goats from our yard to the neighbor’s pasture. The sheep don’t much like walking on a lead and the shy little Soay REALLY do not like it — to the extent that it’s easier just to carry [...] Our shiny new cultivator!

This is what a baby robin looks like. Note the more-than-superficial resemblance to a baby chicken, like one of the three that used to be able to get out of the coop.
