shearing day

i'm so glad shearing is over because it always stresses me out! but the most stressful part was getting everyone caught before the shearer arrived. they got out a few times, and the donkeys too. this new shearer was super gentle. the sheeps all look good under there and they are all hoppy and frisky now. and i was also thinking that the wool might be too full of burrs and hay, but it looks *awesome*. will take pics when i lay it out and skirt it, but when he was done it started to rain.
