The only difference is that these particular flowers aren't meant to be eaten!
When the ewes are in the house paddock here at Struan Farm several of them can't resist nibbling my flowers beside the fences. The dahlias and roses in particular. John accuses my former pets of being the worst offenders, and while I try to defend them, I have caught both Cookie and Pepper munching away. To make matters worse, they pay me absolutely no mind when I try to shoo them away!
Pepper. Once a problem child, always a problem child. Her story was that she was helping me deadhead those dahlias.....sigh. And to add insult to (real) injury, when I was out trying to shush her away in my bare feet I got stung by a bee. I disturbed it on the nepita below. My fault, but ouch!
