Yup...it's definately Fall.

The tenants have moved out.....must be "snowbirds".

Luke says, "I'm bushed, Mom...is it bedtime, yet?"

The heck with "Dancing with the Stars" and ballroom dancing...it's time to do the Shetland Shuffle!! Everybody dance now!
Yup...the leaves are turning, the rams are sniffing, the nights are getting cooler. How many more times can I change my mind? Actually, I'm pretty decided on what I'm doing...heck, I'm already naming them....and shopping for a new ewe! I wish I had the "magic" of Bewitched so I could just wiggle my nose and be at another farm...touching fleeces and seeing the sire and dam of another line to bring in to my flock. Some of you guys are just soooo far away! Help! Anyone have a helicopter? I DO have one ewe on my wish list....and have scouted out a few others. Don't you just love shopping? I research the pedigrees like I'm saving coupons! This is much more fun!!! You can have Macy's and Kohl's and QVC and L.L.Bean...whomever!...give me a platinum card for the feed store and my Shetland Shopping Network...much more satisfying! Speaking of which...I need to buy some more sheep coats.... :-)

This one (and the next) is for Shula! Colby is doing wonderful!

Too bad this one came out fuzzy...her fleece is exquisite!

Here are a couple of photos of Trinket....stalking Mrs Wilson.

My little Bonnie is as sweet as she looks....I love her! She is the result of a very persistent ram visiting her mom, Painted Knoll Kiah, last January! There was no fence that would hold him back.....he was like the postman...neither rain, nor snow, nor any stinkin' fence would keep him from delivering the goods.

Don't know how well you can see this ewes fleece, but I am SO happy with her! This is Aberdeen out of Shetering Pines Aster , an emsket ewe and KSpirit Farm Mocha Rizing my dark moorit ram. Again.....can't wait to get results on THIS fleece!!!
