It's Been Awhile

Boy the last few months have just flown by...We did several festivals, NAILE in November, the very next week went to French Lick til Thanksgiving Eve. Been busy ever since. With the weather we have been feeding some grain along with lots of hay. The rest of the time is spent filling up water buckets....

We have all our breeding just about finished. We are breeding 2 last Finn ewes & 2 more goats... All the goatie girls are looking great in full fleece. Now is when you see what you really have.

I have sent off a load of wool for felting roving. Usually takes a couple weeks to get back. I am working on a load of kid and lamb cut for more yarn...

We have been working on our milk house building everyday. I am lining up my orders to get in a wider variety of Kromski wheels and looms. Will carry warp threads, drum carders, crochet hooks, knitting needles, weaving supplies & more.

We will be at Farmers Market in May. Used 2010 to try to catch up with ourselves...So looking forward to getting back to market in 2011...

Just checked the weather this evening...I can not believe it looks like another storm is coming...Everytime one comes I try to give it the benifit and say oh, it will warm up next week. Guess the joke is on me....You have to look at the positive. Everything that didn't get washed last summer because of no rain is now getting that wash...But kinda like I used to tell my Mom, everything is fixing to rot it has had water on it so long...
