Maria has been skirting wool in the afternoon, we want to take it to Brandon, Vt. this weekend and drop it off at the mill there, it will take between six and eight months to get it back. Today, Maria did Deb’s wool, lots of burrs, lots of good wool. Maria sells the yarn and the roving. Two more to go, Ma and Liam. Ma will be a mess, she is always wandering around alone, covered in burrs and crud. She may be the dumbest sheep I ever saw, or she might be profoundly spiritual.
