Sheeply Disturbing

As a lily-livered, city-bred Sooth-moother, I found these photographs of sheep shearing really disturbing when I found them today:







But not as distubing as this:

    The sheep don't mind being sheared, really they don't. The men who do this are careful, partly to be kind to the sheep, and partly because they don't want the fleece messed up. This is where wool yarn starts: growing on a sheep's back. Some sheep are white, some are grey, some are brown, and some are multi-colored. Those are the natural colors of wool yarn, such as Fishermen's Yarn made by Lion Brand.

    The beehives are nifty!
