Sneeze and you go faster

Most days the pic on the blog has something to do with what its about, that's most days, not today. Today's is an old pic of the evolution of bike, or my sneeze if you go faster racer behind my iron age velocipede. Both in the warm sunshine of just a few weeks ago.
Yesterdays pic had nothing to do with technology but a lot to do with Ice, our ram, taken Monday. We have been lucky with the weather in so far as it has only got things wet and muddy, but yours truly found Ice yesterday trapped against the fence in a new stream of water. His wool weighed him down, his foot was through the fence and the poor lad could not get a grip to stand. The rushing water built up a dam of debris behind him, his back legs when I got to him were stuck fast in a vacuum of mud and ice cold water. I managed to drag him from the mire, drip dried him for a moment or two on the gate carried him to a bed of straw in the goat house and he spent the day in a dry comfortable bed with some nice munchies. Ice was our first casualty of the sever weather. He didn't make it. It was too cold for Ice.
