Our Passover celebrations this year involved something new for the lambs... shearing. It turned out that the day the shearer came to town was moved to happily coincide with our visit to Ukiah, California. We helped load cousin Elizabeth's three ewes and two lambs into the back of the truck and bounced them over backroads to a friend's barn where there were sheep-a-plenty. Fascinating to see all their different faces and fleeces! The shearer made quick with his work, and we returned with the naked sheep in plenty of time to make the matzah balls.
