Bridgemoof--Sheep & Wool festival

[Pearce Pastures]

Yeah, I am right there with you on the pigs. I don't like the smell, the looks, and really not even the taste My son had asked about them a few times until we when to the fair this year and he visited the pig barn (an open air building with tons of fans so it could not have been better ventilated) and the smell was intense. He couldn't get out of there fast enough I have seen cute little piglets, which do make me give that "awww" that all babies do but never had the urge to go out and get one.

OK The pigs are out in the barn! The Jacob sheep are all getting along! I've cleaned up the house (somewhat ) The poinsettias are here and the poinsettia tree is up!

I am actually not embarrassed to show you this pic. It looks great!

After dinner it is wrap presents. Tomorrow is deliver poinsettias to everyone.

That is pretty! What a neat idea. I never buy those and you have like...1...2...3...4....what 30? Nice kitty too.

Oh Pearce, we have about 100 of them! There are about 20 or so that make the tree, and another 75 or so in the mud room. We didn't deliver any yesterday because we had them in the back of the truck, and we wanted to get them home and inside asap as it was pretty cold out. Today we do some deliveries in my car. But the weather forecast is ICE PELLETS this morning. What the heck? I can just see going out for my morning feeding with stingy ice pellets coming down on my head. Ouchers. I certainly hope the weather isn't icy and bad today, as everybody will be out on the roads doing last minute shopping for Christmas.

So last night I only got 2 presents wrapped. I was wrapping a present, and all of a sudden I look down and there was a felting needle and a teddy bear in my hand! How the heck did THAT happen? So back to the presents, one more and d'oh! there it was again! Wool and a needle in my hand! I told you it's addictive Southern So enough of that, I went to bed early.

 

[Southern by choice]

how did that felting needle just "get there"?

"Tree" came out so pretty!

Be safe Bridge! Sounds like it could be nasty this morning.

Well it's kind of like this Southern, yesterday Tim was pitching hay over the fence with the pitchfork, while I stood by gazing at my sheepies. He said "Honey, stand back, or you are going to end up with three holes in your head. And they'll be marked A, D and D."

Nothing on the weather front yet!

Bridge.. I can always count on you to give me my morning laugh!

Thanks!

I love the tree and such a pretty kitty. I understand about the "it just appeared in my hand" thing too.
