Weekend of sheep showing fun with my kid ...


I wondered off Thursday to the Maryland State Fair with 10 sheep.
Wondered being a relative term when driving 695 near Baltimore is concerned for this chick.
OMG those people are nutso.
I am a country road girl forever!
However there are things you do for your younguns and this qualified.


LN came down Friday from college (only an hour or so away) and stayed till Sunday morning.
Sunday she went back to get homework done for Monday classes as they didn't have holiday.
She felt bad but fitted and showed with a sinus headache and congestion.
Thankfully our good friend and fitter helped us out as always.
Miss B is the best!
Steady as a rock and a great rapport with LN which is fun to watch.


Good weekend for our homegrown Lincoln Longwool ewe lamb.
She garnered a Champion Lincoln Ewe ribbon and a handpainted trinket box.
Sorry for poor quality picture and lamb not being set up but barn is hard to get good pics.
LN and her friend helping were begin to walk away when I yelled at them to pose.


Otherwise she had a few 1st and some 2nd and below.
She stayed in top 5 most of the show between her Lincolns and Border Leicesters.
Not a bad weekend overall.
I showed our sheep in 2 classes which was horrendous as I have anxiety about it.
Sweating and jittery but I did it.
Later I helped some others show by setting feet.
I survived but just barely.
The weather was fall like with some breeze and sun but not too hot maybe low 80's.
Last year was over 100* so this year was a blessing.
As we were released Monday the thunderstorms ahead of hurricane Dorian arrived.
I stayed put till most of it was through.
Home about 1-2 hours later than normal but less stressful on driving.
 I was driving against the flow of holiday weekend goers returning to their homes.
Always a good time spent with my kiddo and friends on the show circuit.

    1. Sometimes it is terrifying but that is when I push harder. I am a nut like that.
