I thought of you and your shearing post. The shearing shed still stands. I read it last week but was so busy I didn't get to comment.

It occurred to me that I don't talk a real lot about the day to day farming stuff and that maybe people would be interested in having a little sneak peak occasionally into what our life is like. :) Tracey.
