Lamb shearing, rodeo, and crafts.

I decided to work a Saturday shift for someone else.  It was going to rain in the afternoon anyway so I took an evening shift.  

I needed to stay focus and get homestead stuff done early. 

Lunches needed to be made and dinner.  

Dinner would be "hamburgers" . I took the leftover bean salad from last week and added soaked walnuts (overnight) .  Put them in the food processor and whirled until it was like pate. 

Made them into patties and slapped them on the griddle next to Dude's burgers. 

It worked out!

Sunday rodeo!

Started the day early in the garden,

Columbine

                                                                     
                                                                          Collards picked.

                                 Parsley 

Salad made. 

Then off to the rodeo down the road. 

                                 I was knitting baby hats while we were there. 

Home again.

Wilbur has been hot and feeling his oats lately.

Later a big Sunday dinner,  homestead hens. 

Monday

The granddaughters worked with the horses first thing in the morning. 

Wilbur still be hot and silly.

Time to create.  One was crocheting a cow. 

Another had made 3 pillows and now thinking to make something with pompoms.

Another granddaughter made a dress. 

I finished my cards. 

Next it was time to have Wilbur sheared. 

The team got all set up. 

Granddaughter caught Wilbur.

And the fun began.

Off went his heavy coat!

He is now much cooler.

Gorgeous wool. 

CVM Rommedale wool is known for how soft it is and how it feels nice next to your skin. Not like rough itchy wool. 

He is naked, a bit embarrassed and his buddy Felonious won't come near him. I don't think he recognize him. 

Thanks guys - Blow by blow shearing team. Check them out on facebook. They were professional, polite and did a great job.

Today is Tuesday and waiting for Peppy to have her kids. 

It is window washing day! ohjoy.
