Best Wool Ever

I was so afraid tht the wool this year might not be good. Well I was wrong. It was the best wool yet. See for yourself.

Sheep Shearing

Sheep sheering was Saturday April 26, 2008. Mike was out of town so Jane came and brought a helper, Darryl. It was a great day. Cool, sunny and just perfect. Everything went just great. I was a little worried because Jane was shearing by herself. She did great and did not even seem tired when she was done. My mom and dad brought all of us lunch and we had a picnic in front of the barn. Thanks mom and dad for helping.

Here is a picture of the sheep the night before.

Here is Jane shearing

Here they are looking very funny!!

Know your sheep by name; carefully attend to your flocks; (Don't take them for granted; possessions don't last forever, you know.) And then, when the crops are in and the harvest is stored in the barns, you can knit sweaters from lambs' wool. - Proverbs 27:23-26
