Ireland - Farming

Yep, plenty of sheep here. They can't brand them so they paint the fleece with splotches of color to identify ownership when they are on communal pastures. 

We saw this guy today at a popular tourist outlook. He pulled 3 sheep, 2 cats and a dog out of his car, and then set up to sit around for a while. Barnyard animals on vacation? A chance to get your photo taken with sheep? We are baffled. 



And every farm has plenty of safety signs! I thought I might try to heist one of these and give it to my brother in law for Christmas. I like the part about " this is not a playground "!!



And if you were wondering why the pictures are all so green, that's because it rains here. A lot. And after almost two weeks without rain, we are getting plenty, so we rode our bikes to the nearest airport and rented a car! We're still cycling, but now we can ride in comfort between the good cycling routes instead of getting soaked while cursing heavy head winds.
