Sheep, Alpaca, and Llamas, Oh My!
I spent yesterday with two friends at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival - what an awesome day! We drove up Friday night (and spent several hours in wicked traffic) and stayed in Columbia. We arrived at the Howard County Fairgrounds at 9 AM, and easily found a place to park the E-Mobile (Thanks again, Honey! It would have been hard-going without the truck.)
I made K and Ashley promise to not let me purchase anything for at least the first 20 minutes that we were there. I was good and I didn’t buy anything for at least an hour.
We did some fiber shopping, and met some woolly folks:
I wanted to bring them all home with me, but even though our lease doesn’t say anything about livestock, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t like living in the confines of the balcony. 
All in all, a great day. I’ll post photos of my loot later.

You are right - it is the same sheep! He (she?) definitely was a handsome fella.

Oh my gosh. That one with the hair in his eyes is so adorable! He looks like a Sesame Street character.
