July 1st! — Happy Birthday Skye
Skye on his 13th birthday
His vet calls him “geriatric” but Skye figures, at 13, he’s just reaching his prime. He always has Border Collie eye fixed on the sheep — watching for the slightest hint of misbehavior. He won’t admit it, but he’s really enjoyed having cats Hera and Hermes join the family. They idolize their big brother Skye and follow him around …much to his embarrassment!
Our fleeces did quite well at the Maine Fiber Frolic. Reese’s fleece took 1st Place in the White Long Wool Division. AND, Bandita’s contribution, besides being the Blue Ribbon Colored Long Wool fleece was awarded Best in Show …that’d be the BEST of the BEST!
Award-winning Fleeces!
