Happy cat

Everyone enjoyed the sun today. We are all sun worshipers here. It makes us happy. Several does got much needed shearing today, this is the warmest trend we have had since before Thanksgiving, so it was time to get the mohair off. My shearing leaves about an inch of fuzz, so they should be okay. With the fall shearing finished, it is time to start the spring shearing. The sheep have been ready to shear, as I like a long staple for spinning.  Some were panting yesterday with the sudden warm up. Alex stayed the afternoon to help with the shearing, after we enjoyed lunch and a piece of red velvet cake from Paula Deen's recipe. It was as good as it sounds.
