Sheep Shearing day at HSF today! Did you know there are methods of shearing that date back to the 1800s? Today we got to spend some time observing sheep shearing and watching hoof trimming Thank you Rich for sharing your knowledge of sheep with us as you worked!
The cold early morning turned into a sunny late morning and we planted garlic in the sunbeams. Back in the dirt again, we made space for things to pop up in spring. Your food lesson today, sponsored by garlic, is:

Sour cream makes it Russian;
Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek.
Soy Sauce makes it Chinese;
Garlic makes it good.”
