(Inter)National Hug a Sheep Day is this Saturday, October 25th (always the last Saturday in October), and we are planning our usual shenanigans here on the farm and virtually on Instagram.
We'll start the day with an early morning virtual Flock Walk on Instagram. I've done these for several years now and each time I think it's going to be boring and silly and they always turn out really special. I'll try to save the live video to publish other places so everyone can enjoy walking out with the sheep at a more reasonable time if you live elsewhere ;-).
In the afternoon we are hosting our usual On the Farm Party complete with sheep, horses, chickens, cats, Bea and Pinot. It's looking like it's going to be cool enough for wool wearing, so that's exciting. It may be too cool for wool spinning, but bring your wheel or current project just in case. We'll have a fire going!
Since we are bumping up the time an hour this year, Auntie Reg is going to be cooking up our favorite October wool festival snack, Artichoke French, and we'll have fresh bread, hot coffee, cider, pumpkin donuts...
The sheep are hoping you'll bring lots of cookies and crackers. Gato will eat most anything too and he's heard some stories about Hug a Sheep/Feed a Pony day and is looking forward to his first farm party ;-). Pinot loves treats too, but rabbits really shouldn't have many treats, so don't let him trick you.
We have changed the time a little so that anyone who'd like to go over the Don and Rebecca Saager's fall train run afterwards can caravan over there from here. It's a bit of a drive (40 minutes), but well worth the trip.
As always, there is no admission and everyone is welcome here. I know I'm late getting this posted, but most of the "regulars" know the drill and if you would like to come in from out of town and need some accommodation suggestions or travel direction, just drop me an email.
Are you ready to hug some sheep? Or a ball of yarn or a squishy warm wool sweater or blanket? :-D
