I was always a fan of MT. Wish there were more like her.

Thanks for visiting, George. 🙂
I understand that MT was a controversial figure; however, I believe she still deserves respect. After all, she was Britain’s first woman prime minister. That’s inspiring in my book. 🙂🇬🇧

She was controversial but I always wondered if she was strictly because of her politics or if her being a woman contributed to that thinking. That was a long time ago and we were, and are, still in the dark ages when it comes to equality with respect to women.

I agree, and I think you’re right about her gender contributing to the controversy. Thank you so much for visiting and commenting, George. I apologize for the delay in responding. It’s been a busy week! One of my new lambs split his ear open one evening this week while we were feeding grain. Still not sure how he managed it. He seems okay. We talked to the vet, and they said it would grow back eventually. But, I’m a bit concerned about frostbite. Never a dull moment around here. 🙂🐏

Oh wow. Can’t imagine how that happened. How do you prevent frostbite from setting in?
No, I can’t imagine there is ever a dull moment on your farm..:)

I think someone’s horn ripped out his ear tag during the hustle to eat as much grain as possible. Not sure about the frostbite…their ears are fairly vascular. The vet didn’t seemed concerned. I want to apply Vaseline (as it works for chickens’ combs), but Farmguy’s concerned it may bleed again. We’ll just keep an eye on it. 🐏
Enjoy your evening.

I was a little confused that the mural included a shadow of a person taking a cell phone photo. Then, DUH! I realized it was probably you taking a photo of the mural.

Haha! I can see how you would think that at first…I kinda blended in to the mural. 😄
