Happy New Year!

Given that we're in the Arizonan desert, you'll probably realize that these photos weren't taken on this trip. They were both taken in Wales, where there are lots of mountains but no desert areas. The upper one was taken in South Wales, where the landscape is green year-round. The lower one was taken in North Wales, where snow is more common on higher ground during winter.

So, why the photos? The title of the post may give you a hint.

 2015 New Year celebrations in China

Happy New Year! February 19th is the start of the Chinese New Year, and 2015 is the year of the sheep. For this blog, Have sheep, will travel, that's an important event.

Some of the many sheep who have been adopted from our home

We went out for Chinese food with our current homeowners, before they left today for their travels. A little early to celebrate the Chinese new year maybe, but any excuse to celebrate sheep is fine by me!
