Sheep to Shawl


 Today we headed off to Elkus Ranch for their annual "Sheep to Shawl" event.  It was our fifth year in a row, and as always had a lovely time.  This year Ciaran and his mom joined us.  He and Anthony had a good time together.

  It was the standard day...  We started off grinding corn to feed the goats and chickens.  Even Richie got his own bag of corn this year.  We fed the animals, watched the sheep get shorn, died wool and worked in the garden.  Richie's favorite part was helping water the garden by playing in the water tub.  He also thought it was pretty funny to have a goat eat out of his hand and to chase the poor sheep around their pen.

As usual Anthony liked the chickens the best.  He also enjoyed dying the wool and playing in the farmyard with Ciaran.

You missed out about Richie trying to climb into the tub with the watering cans in!
