Hug (Or Kiss) A Sheep Day

Yikes. I've got more to do than I've got time to do, so the behinder I get...and this post just gets more random the longer I work on it.  I thought coffee might help, but it didn't.  Buckle up!

Hug A Sheep Day is (once again) rapidly approaching.  Please help spread the news.  It's not too late to plan something fun whether you are a sheep farm, yarn shop or even just yourself!  We will be hosting an Open Farm Day here :-).  Follow the Hug a Sheep Day label on the right side of the blog for pictures from previous years.

While everyday is a good day to hug a sheep, this year's special day is Saturday, October 25th.  This is the fifth year!  I can't believe it.  The official website is www.nationalhugasheepday.com. There is also now a Hug a Sheep Facebook page, but who knows if I'm going to be smart enough to utilize that correctly.

If you'd like to "sign up", leave a comment either here or on the main site or the FB page and I'll add you to the list.  Feel free to include a link to your website, blog...especially if you would like to share some pictures later.  If your event (large or small) is open to the public, note that as well.

Speaking of pictures, I snapped these sweet shots on the fly yesterday (when I should have been working, but a couple minutes of sun is a couple minutes of sun, right? ;-).  They aren't in perfect focus or framed very well, especially with that distracting background, but I'm so glad I caught them. They reminded me of a beautiful video a friend sent me the other day.

This is Spud, but who does he remind you of?

The Center Of The Universe

Sunday Stills - One Picture

Guess who's Hershey's younger brother?  Yep, Spud.  In fact, Hank had just gotten done "yelling" at him a couple minutes before I took these.  Spud didn't care.  While not quite a "center of the universe" sort of sheep, he's definitely laid back...and a close talker ;-).

Okay, to wrap it up:

• Spread the word about Hug a Sheep Day (please :-).
• Open Farm Day here October 25th
• Watch the video - it's wonderful!
• Spud's growing up to be just like his brother (which is sweet...until he pushes it too far, right Hank?)
• If you don't have a sheep to hug today (because every day is a good day to hug a sheep), hug your good dog.  Where would we be without them!
