Mostly, it made me feel like we need to have a baby -- and not just because the little kids wouldn't give up the baby ducks for a minute so I could pet them. Really.

That looks like the very handy Dave McKay helping with the sheep shearing.
Oh! I don't know him, or I would have made a photo caption. ; )
He works for my company, and is all around handy at EVERYthing.
Aww! You are lucky to be around so much fresh wool. Did you get any roving? Yarn? Remember when Mr. Fife brought us to his farm and sheared a sheep who had an insect problem? Ewwwww!
