Leaps and Bounds

Now I understand the phrase “growing by leaps and bounds”! Snowflake and Aurora Charlotte are leaping and bounding all over the place while they grow so very quickly. Here they are at nearly a month old.

Today is shearing day so I’ll get to see what size Fleur-de-Lys and Beau really are under all that Icelandic wool. This will be their first shearing.

I think Chloe will be relieved to get her wool off because for some reason it’s matted this year. I even cut some off her because clumps were staying damp around her neck during the rainy time. Thank you to my shearer for making shearing a calmer event for Chloe. He has the magic touch!
