First day of summer...

... and it was snowing like hell when I had a look out of the window in the morning. Well, there is an old sayer in Iceland, promising a very good summer, when winter and summer freeze together. That'd better be true! We really deserve a good summer after this long winter.

As it was a holiday today, we used it to help Bensi branding the one year old sheep. Most sheep in Iceland are marked in 3 ways: the eartag, earmarkings and branding on the horns. Bensi marks his sheep with his initials on the right horn and the areacode on the left one. It's rather a smelly business, so good when it's over. Today we marked around 70 sheep and dewormed Bensi's whole herd. I took some pics and my sheep Snilld was begging for treats, which she of course got. Funny to see how she's always registering and watching everything going on.

Gleðilegt sumar!
