2023 Fair

 Wow, 2023 Fair is done and over. 

Some challenges as always ...

But some success also.

Champion Lincoln Ewe in Delaware Bred and Owned class.

She also won her class of Early Ewe lambs.

Before fitting...

Sunburn and shaggy

To...

Proper form...with my friend B the fitting Guru as always.

Thank goodness for friends to get me through.

2nd Lincoln ewe lamb was not judged as well.

She was 4th in her class.

The White Yearling was 2nd which was a nice surprise.

She is a thick one but her fleece lacks in some areas.

No other pictures as I am busy working so I forget to snap.

Miss A stayed with me during the hot humidity and tornado warnings and severe storms.

HoHum

Still here, hanging on, working 3 jobs...

Plus Grandma-ing several times a week before dawn while parents head to work.

I get the nuggets up, dressed, fed and delivered for school bus and babysitter.

Life is a challenge but I am up for it.

A difficult lambing season is over.

Lost two ewes with their lambs still inside which was heartbreaking but couldn't be helped.

What is on the ground is growing and fingers crossed for a profitable Easter market coming up.

Lots of work to do when tax season is over.

Still waiting on surveyor stakes to mark boundaries.

Then fences and more fences will proceed.

 I am up for a different job at work as a Administrative Officer which is fancy speak for Financial Officer.

It's a small pay raise but more importantly it is no supervision of others.

I was raised to work so when I have others working to appear to work I am not a good boss.

I find my bullsh*t meter has dramatically diminished as I have aged.
