baa baa black sheep

On Saturday during a drive in the countryside I saw a black lamb.(I have a soft stop for the black lambs)I said out loud."I should like a lamb"daughter put it down to Mothers being jokey.
So on Sunday afternoon when I heard a bleating at my back door I went out.There was a grown sheep there.Very tame.
I phoned the only person I know who has exotic breeds of domestic animals.He came for it.It had escaped from his land and chosen my garden to visit in.
Did I laugh? YES.
I have been here for forty years and thats a first!
Thing is I felt deeply I would like to touch a lamb .A reminder of days past when an Uncle was a farmer...
So girls.
Moral...be careful what you wish for.

Oh, Mountain, what a surprise! I am glad you found the owner and did not have to end up raising the poor thing.

Are you raising good eats in your garden?

Mountain Ash, was that the Law of Attraction in action?

Years ago....I got tired of cutting a long hedge on our road boundery.So.....I said I would like a wall....next month the authorities appoached us about road widening ...took 50 meters stip made a footpath(long overdue) built a wall replaced plants lost And gave us fifty pounds.Not a lot but a token. Spooky...

By the way.The plants replaced were of my choosing.The man they sent was also a gardener and advised me.

Sounds like it worked out for everyone. Do you garden much?
