On Saturday we took a moment to honor Holly's commitment to the farm. This month she is leaving the farm to work on an exciting new endeavor in the restaurant business with her partner Chris. We love her and will miss her terribly!
Kathryn's craft table was a hit! We made nests and hand felted eggs for a flock of hand-sewn chickens.
Mistral loved every minute of being in the center of attention.
Mike gave the farm tour. I forgot to tell him about it, so he was confused when people kept asking him when the tour began.
Thanks to all who helped make this even a huge success, especially Mike, Daddy, Shirley, Holly, Kathryn, Fred.
Can't wait for our next Sheep Shares event on October 1, Fiber, Foliage and Friends.
Looks like a great event - 50+ - wow!! glad you all had great weather and the sheep look extra spiffy in their "dress-up cloths!"

What a lovely day you had for this! Love all the kids who also got to meet the sheep up-close. Crackerjack looked super handsome with his red bow! Good luck to Holly but I am sure you will miss her a lot.

Thank you all for a perfect day. Being with our sheep share friends and sheep share sheep was very special. Mistral, so many of us were so concerned about you last year, you are one very special pet/flock member?

Oh, I wish I could have been there. Thanks for the pics so I could picture being with everyone. Good luck to Holly, but I will miss seeing her with the sheep.

Need help finding a halter for my 2-yo Shetland ram. His horns are so tight against his cheeks that the halter's cheek straps don't stay under and to get a halter small enough for him the nose piece is to small. His neck is 18" diameter, nose is 12" diameter. His name is Maurice, "Mo" for short.
Thanks from a new, no-nothing-about-sheep, sheep owner,
Jeri Geblin
