Historically Accurate Rodeo Clown etc.

On my last visit I chose to dress as an 1890's rodeo clown. I donned 42 x 30 pants in order to really let the suspenders do their job (I typically wear 38 x 30). I sported a vibrantly colored checkered shirt. And, I topped it all off with an extremely Amish looking, wide-brimmed, straw hat. I greeted everyone with a "Hello, English" in proper Amish form. I was happy to provide the comic relief for the day. (I must admit that I enjoyed the freedom and roominess of pants several sizes too big -- I could get used to it.) I'm craving a straw hat I can call my own for everyday summer use.

More Sheep Shed Cleaning

I've been remiss in my volunteer duties of late -- over scheduling my weekends, my life. However, I'm back on track and managed to get back to the farm today after being gone for about a month. And, lo and behold, found myself in the sheep shed once again.

If after you die you wake up in a hot, humid, rustic, sheep shed with a long handled ice-scraper in your hands, I have pretty good idea of where you ended up. Rhymes with smell.

(I must note that the lemonade was exceptional today. Not too sour. Not too sweet. Just how I like it.)

Tegan was enamored of a barn swallow. Such a pretty little bird.
