I have shared many posts on our visit to Mount Vernon, George Washington's home located in Virginia. Today I am sharing the website where you can find information on the animals kept there. You can click on this link. The page also includes the sheep.
I am sharing with the following memes, with my thanks to Theresa, Eileen and Misty for hosting. If you wanted to visit other participants or to join in, you can click on the name of each meme.

Hello Denise!:) It was intersting to learn about the kind of animals kept at Mount Vernan by George Washington, and I enjoyed seeing all the sheep, and lambs.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.:)
I am surprised that animals are being kept at Mt. Vernon.
ReplyDeleteSome of those sheep appear to be in need of a good shearing. I hope the crew at MV does this regularly. I assume you heard about the poor sheep in NZ who hadn't been sheared in years and was suffering horribly when they found him. Apparently, that wool keeps growing and growing and growing and can eventually kill the animal.
ReplyDelete"Cute barnyard critters!," he typed sheepishly.

I imagine they attract quite a bit of attention. What a difference in size between the adults and the young ones.
ReplyDeleteI really love these animals and hardly ever get to see them here in a big city like Montreal. Thank you so much for sharing, Denise. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a bit of a dreary day, but still wonderful photos! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello Denise, I love the lambs and sheep! They are adorable critters. Awesome collection of photos. Some day I hope to visit Mount Vernon. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about the animals there. Are these all sheep? Even the ones with the horns? (Country girl I am definitely not!).... the black lamb is cute.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, looks an interesting place to visit, love lambs at this time of the year when then start chasing around. Regards John
ReplyDeleteSweet little lambs are always a joy to see! Loved these photos & even the leery look the sheep is giving you over the feeding trough
