Saturday

It was hot and humid when I walked out the door to feed and water the sheep and goats before loading up the truck with fiber. We had a good crowd at PHG and sales were good, a big thanks to Helen, another Mohair lover, like me, that cannot get enough of the silk like handle of kid mohair. Not all sheep and angora goats have that feeling, but I try to breed for it, lustre and handle, that is what catches my eye, for some it is softness, crimp, or bright color. It was 101 degrees when I left Atlanta, as I made it toward home there were several showers and many car wrecks, the temp dropped down to 79. We got a half inch of rain and the temp stayed low for a couple of hours giving everybody a break from the heat.
