I loved it when the shepherd actually said "That'll do" when the dogs were done with their task. Hoping that Irma treats you well and your power stays on. We're supposed to get rain and wind from Irma remnants later in the week, but nothing significant. Sorry I don't know anything about knitting Portugese. Youtube is the place I look for knitting techniques - good luck!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-65851380080892488102017-09-11T14:15:36.799-04:002017-09-11T14:15:36.799-04:00What breed of sheep is that guy with the 4 horns? ...What breed of sheep is that guy with the 4 horns? He is quite impressive! As you can tell, I am not very knowledgeable about sheep, but I do love their fiber. Herding dogs are so smart and so much fun to watch. Loved the caption on the photo! Babe is one of my favorite movies. We are going to have some major rain and wind here starting tomorrow with really low temps courtesy of Irma, but I am not complaining. In fact, I feel very fortunate. However, I hope we don't lose power and cable AGAIN. If we do, I guess I will just knit. I have so many issues with my hands these days, I am thinking of learning to knit Portuguese. Do you have any firsthand knowledge of that process?becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-10716355135023973072017-09-11T13:00:26.696-04:002017-09-11T13:00:26.696-04:00The Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival is a lot l...The Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival is a lot like that, and was also held over the weekend.
