can we all just agree that sheep nuts are amazing, and a little frightening?

so i went to the state fair (woo!) and it was a lot of fun, and i'll probably tell you more about it before too long, but i made an upsetting discovery: sheep have nuts! not all of them, of course, since there are lady sheep and eunuch sheep, but the gentlement sheep who retain their equipment...WOW.

it was really hot, so things were hanging kind of low, if you get my drift, and they were gigantic! like two tangerines!

and here's the part that still makes me laugh a little bit when i think of it: they're woolly! i mean, i guess it makes sense, because they're part of a sheep and all...but it's still kind of funny. i was telling audra about it, and she was wondering if sheep nut wool finds its way into sweaters. it's an interesting question.

so imagine, if you can, a sheep with a woolly tangerine bag, just hanging out. it's very much unlike the sheep i'm familiar with (and i grew up in a fairly sheepy place.)

i just thought you should know.

I can't stop laughing. Must be my juvenile sense of humor bursting onto the scene. Thank you.
