Coat Season

Galena and Theresa (not her mama)
 It's coat season.  Almost everyone has been stuffed into a coat.  Galena is wearing a big girl coat, and it's still snug.  Her fleece is enormous.

Shockingly, Sandy's coat is baggy.
Peanut
Olivine
Peanut looks more like Sandy than Sandy's own lamb, Olivine.  (But Almond and Feldspar are Sandys with horns!)  

Czadas
 This year, I put similar looking sheep in different colored coats so that it's easy to tell everyone apart from a distance.  Czadas is wearing gray; Tricot (not pictured) is wearing khaki.

Opal & Calico

...Except for Calico and her mini-me Opal.  For now, the size difference makes it obvious, but in a couple of months, Opal will be as be as big as her mama.

Elsie

Elsie is going without a coat this year.  A bit of her fleece felted under a coat before, so we're going to see what happens when she doesn't wear a coat.  Also, her fleece doesn't grip onto the hay like some of the others (oh, Calico!) and usually shakes right out.  (And she looks so pretty without a coat!)

Filly
The coats are worth it, though, for lovely clean fleeces.

Macadamia
After all, they are very messy eaters. (Interestingly enough, the boys are much neater.)
