As the Wool Flies - Shearing Day part one

Yesterday was our Sheep Shares CSA member shearing day. I couldn't have asked for a nicer group of helpers, better weather or prettier fleeces. Mike and I thank everyone who came to pitch in. We accomplished so much in one morning - fourteen sheep shorn and about 90 lbs of wool boxed and ready to ship! You guys are awesome. Here are some scenes from the day:
