Mad September week

One show,one fall fair, TV taping of a Thanksgiving dinner, write up some minutes for an Executive meeting, and Thanksgiving dinner in Kingston. If we survive this week with no major screw ups we can survive anything.
Come see our booth at the Norwood Fall Fair Thanksgiving weekend.
We'll have yarn,felt insoles, rovings and batts. I'm also knitting and crocheting like crazy. All made with the lovely soft fleece from our alpacas.
With any luck we'll also have mohair products for sale that weekend.
It is getting colder so it is also time to shear the rest of the goats,before it's too cold.

SEPTEMBER



I'm back!!! It's been a busy summer. With four new babies and 1200 bales of hay to put in time flew. Everybody is saying what a horrible summer,I found the cooler temps far easier to handle and was able to accomplish more.
Trying to bottle feed a cria and a kid goat took up a fair part of the day.
After much experimentation I finally discovered that a combination of KID GROW/1tbls. plain yogurt/1tbls. corn syrup and 1/4 c. 35% cream per 1 litre of water, gave the babe what she needed using ingredients that were readily available.
I'm going to the Norwood Fair on Thanksgiving weekend,The Fibre Artists Collective "Touchable" show Nov.7 10am to 8pm. and that same weekend I'll be in Peterborough at the "From the Hand of Man" show at the Memorial Center Nov. 6,7,8 2009.
