Sunny Saturday on the Farm

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming.  Not bad for March 7th. 

Happy Saturday!

Sunday Morning Shearing

Today is Shearing Day.  There's no one on the Island that does sheep shearing(that I'm aware of anyway) so its a matter of getting on the list of who ever is making the trek over to shear Quadra's sheep population.  This year I got on Garrett's list and he did a great job even though the sheep's wool was damp despite me having locked them in the barn for the last week.  He apologized saying that it wasn't his greatest work and I told him that they were missing their winter coats but still had all their parts so I was happy.

 Zeus was first to be shorn.  He was happy to get out of the barn and into the grass when it was all said and done.

Fairah kept Lamb Stew company while mama was being shorn. 

Lavender was very uncooperative this year

$65 later, the sheep are shorn and their hooves are trimmed.  Not a bad deal at all.
