There's fading...and then...

...there is an abrupt change of plans.

Somewhere, oh, around Christmas, my little grey lamb decided to be white.  Look what we found when we took off the coat and sheared today!
His mother (obviously) carries the fading gene.  So we knew our little black lamb was actually grey...but this was more than we expected!  Hee-hee!
Looks can be deceiving, no?

That's why first shearings are so invaluable; you'll never get another fleece like it!

Wow. Who would have guessed?

Happy Sunday! :o)

So, do you call that a reverse-fade? Whatever you call it, it's a beautiful fleece!

How great to get a new look after shearing. But does he know it's not fashionable to wear white before Memorial Day??? Stevei@ruffledfeathersandspilledmik.com

How interesting! I had no idea that could happen.
