graditude for ya'

We finally took time out to shear the goats this weekend, most of them were grateful. It is Oklahoma so one day its in the 80's and the next day its wet rainy and cold. We have been having some weird weather so we have put off the shearing this year for lots of reasons.
One of them is time.......half the year is almost over where has the time gone.??? I guess we have been too busy with the house and trying to make spindles it just seems to have slipped away from us.

Anyway here is April before and half way through her shearing......



She is more then happy to get rid of that hot itchy stuff..........she has a really beautiful curly fleece. She is 3 years old and her fiber is really super soft. Love, love, love her fiber.....

Here is Chocolate waiting her turn.........
I forgot to get a before shot of June, she is the matriarch of the group at 9 years old.....
Ok, now its Chocolates turn.......here she is before.
and here she is after...........
did she just stick her tongue out at us........that's gratitude for you!
