Ole aging brittle skin ???

   Monday I slipped on 150 yr old steps at my sons.
There is a picture but I will spare you.
Split my arm to the bone at my elbow exposing my plate already holding my bone together.
The tetanus shot and alcohol cleansing hurt worse than the resulting stitches.
My head cracked the wall and the resulting headache makes continuous sleep illusive.


A few days before this R2 gave me this tea tumbler with a sweet note.
Made me feel better and after all it was my clumsiness that felled me like a sequoia.


I was read too and nursed by the best 3 yr old.
She even cleaned up the blood I spilled.
She said, "My Mommy doesn't like messes Grandma".
Opps, my bad.
This changed my plans to have all sheep sheared by Thanksgiving.
They will get done after I yank the stitches next week. 

Thanksgiving was fattening and gluttonous by all accounts .
Too much prepping, cooking and cleaning up for how long it lasts.
I was at my oldest R's home and went outside to cool off.
They had it so hot with the wood stove and all the heat in the kitchen.
Some wind and 40* helped me cool off.
I came back and found this...



I should know better than to leave my phone unsupervised.
Hot messes both of them.
10 years apart in age but ya would never guess.

It is time

All this fluffiness is going bye-bye.
These 2 ewes started out the year much darker but have sun faded.
Time to prepare for lambing so off it goes.



Still the friendliest ewe I have currently.
Over the next week or so granddaughter sitting permitting I'll be shearing.
Almost rhymed it all.
