Counting Down Two Days

I thought I would post now since I will be hopping around like crazy at home tonight. Decided to pack up some things I can put prices on in the booth Friday night. I have a pile of newly shorn fleeces I won't be able to sort through, which annoys me no end since they are very salealbe (is that a word?)right now...especially the kid mohair. I will start packing the trailer tonight. Decided I will wear my sheepy sweatshirts and jeans since I can't find my favorite hippy Indian dress!!! In a weak moment I told Jolene from the Bluefaced Leicester group that I will speak on BFL fiber at a discussion forum. Two people cancelled previous to me. She has done a terrific job of organizing the very first Bluefaced Leicester show in this country and I felt I owed her that. People are trucking their Blues from all over the country but I have my booth to worry about. Still need another 1,000 bales, that's $2,000 I don't have. All for want of a tractor or a farmer neighbor who would be willing to mow my fields. Guess I am too new in town and I don't let them hunt my land...payback is tough so I will have to pay for hay yet another year. Those stock kitchen cabinets are looming large, too. Oh, well, I don't have time to plan a real good lecture complete with props. My approach will be an informal, farmy one - telling how I got in to Blues, promoting BFL wool, showing some sweaters made with BFL fiber, etc. I will talk about how to raise good fiber, sheep health, etc. I don't know from micron counts, etc. I just know good wool. I tried to get Kathy Davidson, a big breeder in Maryland and the shepherd I buy a ram from every year, to do the talk for me but she said, what are you kidding? With all those fussy know-it-all BFL people around to criticize what I'm saying? They really are a funny bunch at times. Oh, well, if I can't dazzle them with my brilliance I will baffle them with my bull----!! Have to go home from work to get to work.
