And so it begins, Tracy, Sheri, Cherese, Heather and me - we piled in the car at 8AM and headed for E&K Farm in Auburn to begin lessons. Marie, third from left, is our fearless instructor. Each of us is assigned a one on one teacher as well. Note Tess (with Heather's arm around her) age 9, Marie's assistant instructor. Kid you not. Our one on one teachers are much older....at least 14. This is going to be great!
From Horse Lessons to Sheep Shearing.
After our lesson, Cherese and I headed to Bainbridge to help (watch) Dina and Paula shear their sheep. Once sheared, we did help to pick out the debris (poop) from the wool, then fold into thirds, roll and bag. Next stop: into the wash to clean. Then it's ready to spin...I think.
