The sheep in the barn queued up for their haircuts:
A large fleece.
A shearin':
Lastly! A recipe for kale chips that came home from preschool with Finn the other day:
KALE CHIPS
Ingredients
1 large bunch kale
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. olive oil
Pinch of salt (regular or sea salt)
Directions
Have your kids cut the leaves from the stems with a knife or just pinch them into bite-sized pieces. Toss with the olive oil, vinegar and salt in a mixing bowl. Spread them out on a parchment covered cookie sheet and put them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. I think you could even put them in at 375 for 10 minutes - they may get crispier. It halps to turn them about halfway through the baking time.

Are the sheep distressed during shearing?
Oh, pretty much, yes. Not so much once they're in position - they are very easygoing during the actual shearing. Getting into position, on the other hand, less than docile. It helps to know that they run the risk of imploding if their fleece mats around their, er, evacuation area.
