Sunshine

If there is going to be a poster child for the Old Flock's Home it would have to be Sunshine. My son Daniel took this picture of her towards the end of her life and I love it. She had this worn out, well loved teddy bear look to her. Sunshine actually belonged to my oldest son Micah. He bought her as a bottle lamb after realizing that his Romney ewe Snowflake didn't breed that first year. Sunshine was one of a set of twins.  Sunshine was white obviously and her sister Shadow was black.  The mother rejected Sunshine. It was the only time that ewe rejected one of her lambs and I feel like it was fate because I made a really good friend because of it, the woman we bought Sunshine from. It's a long but interesting story that I might just have to tell you sometime. Sunshine had a fleece that would make you rethink any negative opinions you might have of wool.  It was like 6 inches of silky soft cotton.
