Wicked Wanda

It was a beautiful day in our rural little town, and I had not yet been formally introduced to Wicked Wanda. I didn't know what the big deal was, I'd seen countless sheep in my life, what was so unique about this one?

I'd heard her ugly face could give a person nightmares and I probably shouldn't be taking my children along for the initial meeting, but we weren't scared.

So, armed with bug spray, Livie in her stark white bride dress and pink polka dot shoes, Mad with her "What happens in the barn, stays in the barn" T-shirt, we went to look for Wanda.




Billy greeted us at the fence, and told us where Wicked Wanda and her offspring were grazing.




#2 - "Oh oh oh oh oh there she is mama!
#1 - "Aw! She doesn't look scary! She even has a cute little baby!"




#2 - "Oh, look at the cute little baby" What are they thinking? That BABY looks like it's 50 pounds...yes, I know I think everything is 50 pounds

#1 - "Uh, Mom, her face is kinda crooked."



Wanda turned away to munch her way across the pasture. I thought we'd never get a good look at her. Then her 50 pound "baby" started to nurse, practically lifted Wicked Wanda's hind end up off the ground in the process.






Wicked Wanda wasn't havin' any of that, she told her little teenager to eat some grass instead.




Oooo, here they come! Oh my, she is quite unattractive.











Luckily her little teenager didn't inherit her head.



That hair cut does nothing for her face shape, and those neon yellow eyes will be burned into my memory for quite sometime.


Lets see how far this little camera will zoom in......Oh my, Wicked Wanda!
