Blue sheep and a crazy lady

Posted by blackramfarm on April 3, 2009

babeWent and saw Babe and Hay-Zeus yesterday after work.  This picture is of her a couple of years ago here at our old farm Ernie and Coco the Alpacas, our ram Caesar and Cory are in the back.

Babe looks about the same, but a bit cleaner.  She seemed to remember me and I gave her a good scritch.   Hay-Zeus also seemed to remember me.  He came right up then after a short bit, seemed to pull back and didn’t really want to be around me.  He was never too loving here at the farm towards me,  I nutted him and docked his tail, which could cause some pretty poor memories.   I remember that I was surprised that he became really approachable one he went to Donna’s.   Babe fallowed me around for a  scritch, which brought back fond feelings.

So last night I talked about bringing the sheep back with Bub and the decision is mine to make.  He is ok with what ever I do.

But the visit triggered dreams last night of a small flock of blue sheep that were not mine, but were following me around and the shepherd was some crazy lady that didn’t have her act together and couldn’t manage to keep her flock in order.  They were some long wooled, dyed William Wallace blue,  meat sheep that wouldn’t behave and ended up jumping into some old nasty building.

Then I dreamed that I was about to get married so some younger guy, but realized that the marriage was all wrong and had to break it off,  because I somehow knew that the guy had someone else (his own age) he would find to marry, and that I had other things to do and a marriage would just be a disaster.

I don’t think the dream had anything to do with my own marriage, but a symbol of getting into a relationship (with the sheep) that is ill timed.  Not the right one for now.   So as much as I think having sheep is neat idea, the timing is all off and I would end up the crazy lady with sheep dyed blue.

I often ask for guidance and often get answers in my dreams.  Sometimes a bit though to understand, but in this case, blue sheep, crazy lady and a marriage is good enough for be to put this issue to bed.
