Saturday dawned drippy and dreary











but Daddy had some work to do so we decided to continue with our plans to watch a sheep shearing and go on to a couple of parks. They were Icelandic sheep, which have only been in the US a short time. The farmer and the shearer answered lots of questions and shared their passion about sheep with us. Later, we got to see some of the wool in various stages of processing. My grandparents, my mom's mom and dad had traveled to Iceland. Among the things they brought home were mittens and a blanket, which had the same colors in them as the sheep we saw today.
