Rainbows’ End.

I was out first thing this morning to feed the starving hordes.

⬇️ This starving horde is Gussie ⬇️ (who is rotund and lying!)

Anyway, there was a faint but definitely-visible rainbow and I swear the end was on the container.  I was sorely tempted to go and find a shovel and start digging for my pot of gold but sadly there was much work to be done, ie the starving hoards to feed.

(though I do wonder just how much would be in hard cash – and, look, another faint rainbow on the other container.  As far as I was aware there was only Shetland pony poo from the night before).

Monster supervised in a condescending way.

Later two ladies from Wool Week came to see the sheep.  As per instructions, they arrived with a packet ginger biscuits and took photos of everyone eating them. Of course Lambie was being mysterious and aloof so I had to go and find him separately to give him his ration.

Obviously I mentioned Fivla and Vitamin, who had worn those Fair Isle sweaters many years ago for a Visit Scotland (Scotland’s tourism board) advertising campaign.

The old horses and ponies were resting down the bottom of the hill, so we clambered carefully down and were duly ignored.  Such is the way of the celebrity some days. Too busy eating.  Still, there’s always the gold from the rainbows.  Off to find a shovel then.

    Well, now we know: the pot of gold is not guarded by leprechauns somewhere in Ireland, but by two Fair Isle sweater wearing ponies hiving their best lives in containers in Shetland. I still would like to know how Fivla & Vitamin got into their sweaters (& where I can purchase them in their Fair Isles). I should have figured out that the ‘gold’ to be found at the rainbow’s end was fertilizer that can be used to grow food for us all. Monster looks like he is in a Zen state. I think Kolka’s little boo boo is going to heal into an awesome lightning bolt & she’ll be Wonder Woman Icelandic Horse with a lightning bolt!
