UMM. . .You’re Not Really Going to Eat That My husband made pancakes for us a few days ago. We had the mix on hand, I took strawberries out of the freezer, and the whipped cream was left from a couple of weeks ago. The pancakes were delicious. After we were finished eating, and I […]
So, yesterday, I went to a sheep farm to experience sheep. Robin (pictured above) graciously agreed to tell me about sheep and let me experience sheep first-hand. I learned: How to tell the age of a sheep. About the different kinds of wool. How to tip a sheep–I would have liked to try it, but […]
