Barns, exhibits, gardens... who needs it? Sitting together in the gravel is simply the best.
Egg sorting with Bethiah at the hen house.
What say we sort a few dozen more of these jumbo extra large, then break for lunch?
Getting right up to the fence to see the baby goats and sheep shearing. Today was "Woolapalooza" at the farm. They shear the old fashioned way with a great big pair of scissors (or "shears" I guess you'd call them). We watched while a couple of annoyed but basically cooperative sheep were relieved of their winter dreadlocks.
We ditched the stroller. Better for pebble gathering. Audrey took a hand from Ruth and Rebecca.After all the recreating, Audrey fell asleep in the car on the way home and uncharacteristically stayed asleep for a full hour when the car came to a stop in the driveway. That's one tired egg sorter.

We love Drumlin Farm! Braved the rain and mud today and had a blast! Glad you guys had fun...
Next time tell the Drumlin sheep they are really lucky to live there, to be sheared for the entertainment of visitors. Last time we walked by the sheep pens on campus we met one of the profs, doing duty while students were on Spring Break. He told us all their sheep are bred for meat, so NMSU is experimenting with a new breed from South Africa called "hair sheep" who don't grow that bothersome wool!
