Spring Shearing

I gathered my flock onto the front walk yesterday for our spring shearing. I told Stephen to hold still while I trimmed around his ears. Andrew asked, "Did you cut off Stephen's ear?" Stephen quickly piped up, "No, I was cooperative!" We didn't think Matthew needed a trim quite yet.


As a reward for their cooperation, they got small cans of Coca-Cola (I admit, I resort to bribery on occasion).


Here are some shots that the kids took of Maff-a-yooou. He often shows us his beautiful smile and has discovered his tongue, too, which is a constant source of amusement.
