It looks like spring, it feels like spring with the notorious Ellensburg wind blowing away. It's almost time for shearing, another month and she'll get off that thick coat of wool that has been keeping her insulated from the weather. This is a Coopworth ewe, no name, just one of the girls who produce a fine set of twins for us every year. She has great wool that is available as yarn and roving. Clara from Knitter's Review said it was a fantastic yarn representing the Coopworth breed exceptionally. Isn't that cool? Proud sheep-mom here.

A wooly lady in waiting
Here in this weird spring atmosphere in January (fleeting I am thinking)...is one of the girls, a lady in waiting wondering what in the heck is going on.

ReplyDeleteHi there 2L3B's (what a name there, girl!). Thanks for popping into my blog-land life. It is a wonderful life, ups and downs like everyone else, but I don't want to trade anyone as of yet! I'll enjoy reading about your life in China and all of those L's and B's you've got in the family. Thanks for stopping in and nice to "meet" you too! Jami
