WE LEFT THE RAT RACE EIGHT YEARS AGO AND RETIRED TO THIS LITTLE ISLAND IN THE CARIBBEAN. THIS IS MY ACCOUNT OF THE TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS, AND LITTLE JOYS OF LIVING IN MEXICO.

Dead Sheep Walking
Aren't these freshly shorn sheep just about the cutest things!
Munching away to their heart's content.
But maybe they could have found a better, safer pasture......
Ann: I believe that they are the resident lawnmowers inside the slaughterhouse compound just down the road from me. By the new cemetary. Somebody must have left the gate open.
Too funny. Thanks again, pal, for showing me a great time on my visit. We need to plan a followup. Now, both of us need to get writing about the trip. Like you, too many things have been happening locally for me to get to The Task.
That's too funny - I never knew they had sheep there. I hope they are not going to slaughter, I don't even like to think about that place. There is a ton of grass along that strip that they could 'mow' - they could earn their keep.
Goat "lawn mowing" I've seen featured twice on TV this week. They bring in 8 goats and for several days they "trim" all the over growth including poisen ivy. It was about $250 for a 3-4 day trim - Dujy/Judy
Who do they belong to?

ReplyDeleteWhat the heck? I have never seen goats on Isla. But if this saves you from the weed wacker lawn care then no problema.
ReplyDeleteCute! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bob!

ReplyDeleteThey look like goats! So I wonder what happens with the wool...is there a weaver in the vicinity?
