ANOTHER DAY IN THE OVEN OF SUMMER...

Terry Donica called & asked if I had time to help her sort some llama fiber. We got at it this morning. Kinda interesting. My first experience of sorting the hair out...of the fiber that is...We got that done with some good ole visiting...Stopped and went to town and ate lunch and came back and finished the last bit. She should have a nice amount to work with.

The last week I have spent all my time behind the water hose and bucket refilling. If not there been helping with hay...We got another nice load in...We have our fingers crossed for one more good load...before winter...

We haven't gotten rain in several days. Between here and Salem they got a good shower we noticed on our way home. Orleans got dumped on this evening & we told it to move on down just didn't listen...I got out and gave lots of plants one more drink of water...I have planted 8 new fruit trees in the spring. I just hope they are getting enough water...

My young goats are looking so good. Really nice curl conformation. Lady Brown is so hot. She gets as close as she can to the fans. I keep telling her to hang in there. I don't won't to shear her for another Month or so...

I watched the weather. They say SALEM SHOULD GET RAIN AROUND 10 tonight. I have about 18 bags of mohair sorted out & ready to wash. I left them out hoping the rain may do the first rinse anyway...I can't wait to get the fleece washed. It should be a good load of doll curls...

Gotta go get busy
