Not sure what kind I am going to get, Had rambollet (sp? ) and Finn, loved our finn sheep. Would love to get shetland but not sure I will be able to find any around here.
Thanks so much for posting this, Patty! I have the chimney cleaner coming week after next and they clean out the inside of the woodstove, but I'll have to see if I can find some blackening. I should be able to find some in hardware store in Elmira as there is a large Mennonite community in this area and judging by the number of buggies you see around soemtimes, at least some of them would be using woodstoves. I did buy the cleaner for the glass door from that hardware store. I'll go back and check it out.
I must have missed the post where you said you were getting sheep! I thought of you when I was watching the sheep shearing demonstration at a fall fair a couple of weeks ago. I looked at the pile of wool of the ground when he was done and thought of you and your spinning wheel!
I don't normally do the stove pipe because it looks fine. Its not cast iron and would probably smell nasty on the first fire. Even the stove black has a smell the first time you fire up the stove until it burns on there good. I did get a bit on the base of the pipe, its hard to avoid it on our stove since the pipe is out of the top of the stove.

What kind of sheep are you getting? They can do your mowing for you.
