We clipped Hermione this weekend, and now her bulging belly seems huge. Set her up in the maternity suite with plenty of soft bedding. Must track down a baby monitor, and get the birth kit ready. I believe she'll give birth before the week is out.
Drove to Denmark Sunday to have Ally Baba sheared at the SheepFest. Farm cap on the truck, two hours of winding roads, Cate in the truck bed with Lemony Snicket and a Chai latte keeping Ally calm. Stopped in at JimBob's Variety, and learned the Sheep Fest had taken place the day before.
Drove down the hill to look at the lonely spot, and found Linda Whiting sweeping up. She took a look at Ally, was impressed by her immense obesity and dense fleece. I asked if she knew who might have a Romney ram for mating. Well, I followed her to Julie Libby's house up the road and bought Jeremiah on the spot for $150. He's a handsome, docile ram and ought to get Ally with a couple lambs when he gets his fall tryst.
