Maryland Sheep and Wool

WOW!!  It was better than imagined!  Our team rocked!!  Here we are waiting for our sheep.  Standing in the back is Emily our shearer.  Then sitting from left to right are the spinners...Mary-Jane, Me, and Susan.  Standing in the front is Betsy our weaver.    We were ready and waiting for the sheep.  It was 5 minutes to starting time and still no sheep.  I began to panic.

 I sent a friend off to find it, and look what we saw...
I guess the sheep had other ideas and didn't want to be shorn.  In the end I think she must have been happy to get that fleece off.  It was in the 90's in Maryland last weekend.

Emily did a fantastic job of shearing.  I'm sure she must of scored well.
