Freedom...

...for the sheep. At least til September, when they are gathered and driven to the valley again.

Yesterday we drove the last sheep at Hólmavað from their pastures to the stable, checked their numbers and lambs, divided them in groups and put them on the trailer to bring them to the highlands. Both my ewes were supposed to go, but after fetching them in, Snilld was missing. We knew about some of them being in the neighbour's field and Bensi went to get them home. As expected, Snilld was there. I was happy to see her healthy and surprised, how big she was. So much bigger than her sister. Well, both of them went to Þeistareykir and I managed to take some pics of them, before they left for the summer. After releasing all of them, we took a drive to the hut and had a small picknick there. Close by we saw Hrund's favourite sheep with her lambs and stopped. It was so nice to see it come running to its owner, get a big hug and a good clap. Hrund really liked that, too and was talking about it all the way back. Hope to get both my ewes healthy back in September, just looking so much forward to seeing them again.
