BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY...

SPRING HAS SPRUNG AROUND HERE AND BOY HAVE WE BEEN BUSY....FIRST, SINCE I HAVE POSTED LAST, A WEDDING DATE HAS BEEN SET AROUND HERE. Jarrod and Hannah will be married in July. They will be living here. The large room at the back of our house will be an apartment. They will get married life started here. That way they won't have to get into any mortgage or lease til they figure out for sure where they will want to live or a job will take them. We are excited but I think Hannah is pretty excited also. The wedding will be at after Farmers Market then onto a reception. More details will be posted....So things have been a little busy around here....

I did get the garden good and started this week. We did get a good freeze like Thursday and Friday night...We don't really plant to much til after Mothers Day...

The geese have been flying over this week. They are just beautiful. Cranes were coming through a week ago. We do live in a bird flight path. Of course the fighter helicopters flew through today also...Doing practice stuff. They are big....

In early February we were vendors at a Quilt Workshop in French Lick at the Hotel...We had a very good time ....Met lots of nice people....I am busy now getting ready to go to Greencastle IN in a couple weeks for "The Fiber Event." Onto the Lotus Dickey the first of June and Hoosier Hills Fiber Event the very next weekend. I better have everything all ready before it gets here...

Boy the wind Thursday night was a bit rough. We lost a little of a ridge cap off the top of the barn. I have to threaten David he can not put it up there. He will be trying before I know it...In case you don't know our barns are a bit tall for him to be up there...

We started shearing. We get 2 or 3 done every couple days. Weather is just not on our side.

I was just weighing out felting fibers this week. It was the first I had been into the load of felting fiber I had gotten processed. It is nice and perfect for the job...I should be getting in a load of fiber to spin with and also a new yarn weight....

Most important...SOCKS...They will be perfect for the winter hiker or hunter. I can't wait...They will be done with kid and lamb cut wool...

2010 is an exciting year for us....Stay tuned....
