Sheep & Wool
Posted May 14, 05:23 PM under .
I am such a lucky duck since not only did I get to go to NHS&W today with the kids and Ry, but tomorrow I get to go sans kids and with Lynn. Talk about treats all around. The only bummer is this year I’m under a strict mandate of NO ANIMALS. Not fair.
Today’s visit was pretty much a whirlwind since it consisted mostly of kids saying, “Let’s go here… Let’s go there… See this… See that.” I didn’t get to peruse anything too closely, but I’ve got a general idea of where I do want to spend most of my time tomorrow.
We stopped for awhile to watch the sheep dog demonstrations. Very neat to see the control the dogs have and I love seeing the sheepies all huddled up running around for some reason.
We ran into two different homeschooling family friends and got to go in and check out one family’s lambs they were showing. Of course, just down the way I saw a little black Icelandic I’d love to have as a mower, but as stated before “NO ANIMALS. Bbbbbllllllpppptttt.
The last shot I took today… Shortly after I took the last shot, we saw a newly shorn sheep. Ry said looked like it was made out of one of those styrofoam mattresses. He thought they were hilarious.
On another note, I did get a glimpse of the Harlot (and her entourage) today, too. Can’t miss her when you see the Rhinebeck sweater and Gap pants from afar. However, I was far too chicken to say ‘hi’ and just celebrity stalked her from afar. Besides I was too busy wrangling two popcorn crazy boys, too.
So, of course, there’ll be more to see tomorrow. Pics of styrofoam sheep and stash to come!
Thoughts?
hahahahahahaha! I saw this before Sunday morning and now know the no animals rule. I’m holding you to it :-p
And I am so not going to miss the child o’ mine asking for more kettle corn. It will be a treat being able to do the show sans DD. Love her to bits, but it’s going to be easier without her.
