My husband met me at the airport Wednesday night with a dozen red roses and mushy card for our anniversary, even though I was in Mexico without him on the actual date. (Can I hear a collective "Aaaaah!"?) We had a quiet drive home and a good night's sleep, which abruptly ended at 6:30 a.m. when Brian bounced into our room. Since that moment, I've been frantically playing catch-up and entertaining company; I haven't even had a chance to completely unpack yet. I'll probably NEVER catch up on all the blogs I like to read!
Here's a couple sheepy tidbits, though. Thursday afternoon my farrier/shearer was here to take care of the horses and shear the three mama ewes. At my request, he brought a rounded, 24-tooth goat comb, even though he claimed it is just as likely to "slice and dice" as those wicked-looking, flared sheep combs. But for the first time, there was not a single, tiny nick!
I was also thrilled when I caught and examined Brava. She is growing a fine new fleece in the most luscious warm taupe, and is in excellent flesh! I took the spandex sleezy off so she is just wearing the Rocky Sheep Suit now. I will post some photos when I get the chance.
That's it for now at . . .

Welcome back! Glad to hear that all is well at Boulderneigh. Look forward to hearing more about the trip.
Glad you back, Michelle! It seems like you've been gone for years! :)
It does seem like you were gone for a very long time but so glad you enjoyed Mexico and had a chance to relax. Bring on the sheep photos; I love them.
Welcome back! Glad you had fun and glad Brava is doing much better! :)
