Say "Baaaahhhh" for the Birdie

Well, if you can't tell by now, I LIKE Sheep. This all started when my nieces taught me to knit 4 years ago.  Mind you, no one else in our family knits, so I consider this a miracle!  All they could show me was how to knit a simple garter stitch, but that was all it took. I was hooked! I got tons of books from the library, as well as, DVDs on knitting and even watched clips on You Tube on how to do different stitches and how to finish what you started. I became fascinated with all the different colors of yarns and textures. Anyhow, I don't get to do it as much as I'd like now since Anthony stopped his naps, but occassionaly I get to. Needless to say, this how the whole sheep adoring thing came about...thank you Kaitlyn and Allison.

I always try and attend the Sheep and Wool Festival in MD http://www.sheepandwool.org/.
This festival is free and great for kids (although, extremely crowded, kinda hard for strollers, but do-able). They have great food and music too. This year I took my friend Taylor, who is thinking of getting some sheep (can you say JEALOUS?!) Well, I didn't get a picture of me and Taylor, that would of been nice. However, here are some pictures of what we saw. Oh for lunch, Taylor had pit lamb and I, a lamb burger. It was delicious!













Last but not least, check out this lady's hair! Taylor and I couldn't decide who had curlier hair, her or the sheep!

  1. Hi Pam! I was sad that we didn't get a picture together too, but I did have a Wunnnndddurffulll {in sheep's voice} time!! Perhaps by next year, I'll be ready to make a lamb purchase. Ha! You're really great at taking pictures. They turned out so much better than mine.
