If Crackerjack could read I know he would be truly flattered by all his fan mail last week. He's such a modest guy who really doesn't seek special attention at all, which makes him all the more deserving of praise and recognition for the important work he does. And, yeah, he's a really neat looking llama (goofy grin aside).  Thanks to everyone who commented. I drew a winner yesterday for the Crackerjack Fan Club contest – Tish is the lucky  Crackerjack fan!

Another wet week here has created challenges, headaches, work disruptions. The rain causes the fabric of the sheep coats to stretch and sag, which in turn causes the sheep to slip their coats, one leg strap at a time. If they lose both straps, it can be dangerous. The coat gets tangled around their legs and they can't walk. So Holly, Mike and I caught and stripped 70 sheep yesterday, just until things dry out here. You should see the pile on the laundry room floor!

The rain is causing other issues. Hay making has come to halt again – looks like there may be a window late next week.

The only plus – I don't have to worry about watering the garden!

Off to teach handspinning today at Webs. Will post a lamb update tomorrow.
