The Christmas guest are gone and so are six of the Corgi pups. It was hard to get rid of those pups that we have put so much time into. Eight weeks of training, cleaning up poop etc. left us exhausted but happy that they have gone to good homes. We gave them all Harry Potter names and everyone changed them except us. We still have Hermione and Mr. Wesley.

That is my son Ron holding the two pups.

Now it is time to get back to spinning, rug hooking and knitting. As I write this it is a grey day with rain in the forecast. NO SNOW. If I can't have snow to get the creative juices going maybe I can watch a lot of the election process on TV. Keeping my hands busy helps me from getting to frustrated with the world problems.

Buddy,my farm manager, and I cleaned the barns to get ready for kidding and Lambing. That should start the end of January and of course shearing comes around that time also.

The latest activity at the farm is the birth of 8 adorable corgi puppies. I am use to lambs and kids being born in the middle of winter. Mom takes over and I go back to bed BUT try a litter of 8 corgie's pooping and peeing and whining and demanding from both me and the mother. It is exhausting.

The many personalities are worth it once. A steady diet of baby pups would do me in for ever.
