Wow. what a wonderful relaxing day spent with our farm friends.  Thank EWE to all our friends who joined us. We sheared 9 sheep. Met the 2 new babies and found out that 2 new lambs were born last night. (both doing well with their baah-U-tiful mom Bella)

Everyone one took home a little bag of wool & made a cute wooly sheep project.  And hey yall, i just "Googled" the words wet felting with kids -- and found an amazing little project:

Let me know if you would like to do a workshop like this!  I loved the piece they framed as a mother's day gift and i was already dreaming aobut doing squares that could be sewn together into a cool scarf... so many possibilities.

My 4H friends Mason & Daven escorted the babies around for everyone to see. They will be showing the lambs in the near future at our regional 4H shows.  We had such a great turn out today we were able to show our support for our 4H farm team with a $200 donation so that they could purchase a special regulation pen used for shows. You go guys - we can't wait to see your ribbons.

A special thank EWE goes out to our amazing friend Randy who shears our sheep. He is so patient & kind. Shearing is hard work and we appreciate his willingness to do it on a day when all of our friends can participate and learn. Rany -- ewe R the best!.

Well, the sun is starting to pop up and I'm dying to get in the garden today.  If you missed the sheep shearing sunday you can see one of the videos of Luke our biggest sheep getting sheared on our YouTube Site. just go to the home page and click the YouTube Button to get there.  It is cool.
