Saphira

Saturday just over a week ago I took the girls to the farm. My parents, and Gúmbi and Sigrún, were selecting the ewes to be kept this year. Sólveig Lilja's two ewes had to be slaughtered this autumn so she was going to pick new ewes. She got three to choose from, two that I borrowed from Gúmbi and one that I borrowed from my parents. This is the one she picked, and she didn't even hesitate. The funny thing is that this little ewe that she picked, is very calm and let her pet her, just stood there calmly in the corner. She's called Saphira (Safíra) after Eragon's dragon and the other one that she got, a white one with a little spot on her nose, is called Nebba.

Kristín Lára also has two ewes. They are the same age she is, one is called Grágás (she got that one from her grandparents) and the other one Copper (Kopra).

When we got home she said to her father: "Saphira loves me very much" and "Nebba was scared" - which is true, she didn't like to be petted!
