Different colours help the farmer work out when each ewe might lamb.<br /><br />I might be wrong...Lindseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-79026233466660326812010-12-05T23:34:17.732+00:002010-12-05T23:34:17.732+00:00Another lovely post, Mr. Steerforth.

The murmur of the traffic is a constant presence in my life, mostly unnoticed but always there. And then there is one morning each year when IT'S NOT THERE and the absence of the murmur on the Bike the Drive mornigns is beautiful. (Bike the Drive is a morning when the drive is closed to allow people to ride bikes on it.) <br /><br />Of course, the road is also closed to car traffic for the Chicago Marathons ;) BUT the noise of people cheering on the runners is actually much louder (wake me up from a Sunday sleep-in!) than the murmur of cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-82259482310751994452010-12-02T23:37:45.403+00:002010-12-02T23:37:45.403+00:00Great pics!Great pics!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731571448327467140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-57863580015958812972010-12-02T23:26:10.559+00:002010-12-02T23:26:10.559+00:00Great shots.
