I ran by Border's Books to pick up my dad's Christmas gift, Ken Burns' documentary of the Lewis & Clark expeditions. Of course being the book fiend that I am I can't leave without taking a run through the store and naturally I end up at the farming and gardening sections. I found this book perched on the top shelf like it was waiting for me to discover it. It's not a new book, been out a few years, but I've never seen it before. So I found myself a chair, sat down to flip through it. It's fabulous and fun, portrait style photos of champion sires and dams from a variety of breeds (mostly English and French). The photographer is from the fashion world, the author a vet at a vet medicine school. The photos are beautiful and some of the breeds I'd never seen before.
It was fun to sit there and think back to the days when I had a barn full of sheep, and December wasn't just about holiday parties and presents. It was the beginning of our lambing season . New life came to our farm between the Christmas morning breakfast, the gift giving and the evening eggnog. Fun times folks!
What a great gift for any sheep loving friend.
