About Me
- sheeps and me
- Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, United States
- I'm a small town,older than dirt lady,that thought instead of buying fleece I would just grow my own.Only thing I did wrong was to choose a breed that was bigger than me.I choose Lincoln and Romneys because I love the fleece and I love how shiny the Lincoln fleece is.My present goal is to learn how to get them on their buts to trim the hooves.The day will come hopefully.My long term goal is to cross breed and come up with a spinners delight of beautiful,long soft fleece with a shine.

Ha Ha! I love the name Daphne Duck - too funny. I hope the lambs will be OK, too, but they have a good start at already being a month old, and maybe they will both come around better to the bottle today. I was going to ask what you were doing up at 2 a.m., but then I was up then, too. Looking forward to you posting about your spinning. Have a great Friday, hope you get some of your chores accomplished today. Bye for now from hot and humid KY.
Hi Kathy-still hot there huh? I am getting rain today. It helps the pastures grow. Spalding did take a little of the bottle today but not much. Wilson drank the whole thing. I'm sure he will do fine. I got some hay and put it in the creep feeder and he was eating it. To answer your question of being up at 2am....I work strange hours. I work 4 days a week. Sometimes 10-12-13 hours and when I get home I usually end up out in the sheep pen first checking to see if everyone is okay, then I come in and check my favorite blogs. SOooo, what are you doing up at 2am???Did you find out about the job yet?
Hi Linda - I was beside myself yesterday because I hadn't heard about the job. So, I just had to email the Library Director to see if they'd decided on who to hire. I heard from him this morning that they are still trying to decide, which is a good thing. Guess I'll find out next week sometime. I have a very weird sleeping pattern in that I take a few naps a day, and sometimes at about 9 or 10 at night, thinking that I'll accomplish some things when I wake up at 1 or 2 in the morning, like crocheting on a couple of afghans, etc, but usually I end up just like you, catching up on my favorite blogs. LOL - I can't decide if I am a night owl, or just a very early riser. I'm glad Spalding took some of the bottle today. He's probably getting some feed, and is not that hungry if he seems OK otherwise. Have a great weekend! And, yes, it is still hot here, but we did get an afternoon thunderstorm, but it passed quickly, and now the sun is out again - more 80 degree weather for the weekend, with pop-up thunderstorms possible. Take care.
Hi Linda - been back and forth to bed - just checkin to see if you're online. Hope all is well with your lambs this weekend. Have a good one. Take care.
