It has been a year since I wrote on this blog. So much has happened. 2010 started with several of our friends dieing. Then Bert had a retina transplant.
Enough of the bad. We had lots of snow so I moved my rug hooking and knitting into the house. Where it is cozy and warm.

Feb. we sheared the goats and lambs and shortly after that the kids and lambs began to arrive. So yesterday, the temperature was 68degrees out and I starte's d skirting fleeces. The Marriage of Figaro was playing at it's loudest,I am sorting fleeces, the men are putting hay in the upper barn when one of them comments that they thought the llama's were yelling. Shows you how educated the help is around here.

Today, took Bert for a walk in the park and I rode my bike. It felt really good to get back on it.

Connie, a friend, came to buy mohair and discuss dying. When she left, I started weighing and labeling fleece to sell on e-bay. They are so beautiful that I hate to get rid of them. But I can only deal with so much.

I am taking Gene Shepherd's rug hooking camp on line and loving it. If I never had to leave the farm again I could be happy.

The greenhouse is clean and ready for the seeds. Redwing black bird is at the feeder and the killdeer are back. Spring is around the corner.
