It also made me giggle. I imagine, though, that after a while you'd want to yell "shut up"! My kids also have a way of saying the same thing over and over and over that they find hilarious and I find annoying.

Looks like the weather was really nice too:-)<br /><br />It's fun to get a little glimpse of Kevin Ford shearing- I don't thnik I've seen anyone here with blades- but I bought some blades a few years ago to use on our Old Norwegian. They stay the summer on the monastery island of Selja, and there is no electricity out there...they normally lose the wool, but we have to help some of them getting it off. They should have been shorn now, but it's been so wet it has been impossible. <br /><br />Good luck at the wool pool:-)marithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464504756605202290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-73869602361643099372011-06-30T11:38:10.051-04:002011-06-30T11:38:10.051-04:00I hadn't even gotten to the film clips of the ...I hadn't even gotten to the film clips of the shearing when I noticed the comments everyone had left about the noise of sheep. I had to laugh. We raise sheep too so we had the same kind of comments when there is any one around that does not have sheep. People, they are noisy. Sheep in the field eating are quiet because they are only concern is their belly but start working with them in any manner and they get vocal, very vocal. They are not hurt or really that upset, they just want to talk,loudly. After a while they quite down, well until they find another reason to tell you what they think. Thanks for sharing the videos with us. It is nice to be on the other side looking in for once.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-27500433063035757442011-06-30T06:28:31.447-04:002011-06-30T06:28:31.447-04:00I was wondering the same thing as Bridget.
