Summer

Well it was 7 out when we got up this morning.I'm in the middle of finishing up some wild apple butter in the slow cooker. After we pour some more cement this afternoon to try and get closer to finishing the stone wall that collapsed this spring,I think I'll spin this afternoon. There are some alpaca/cashgora batts that I want to finish and also a light fawn very fine alpaca fleece that when knit looks pink.
I'm finally catching up and getting all this year's fibre looked after. This fall I will have some awesome felt rugs and a good selection of batts,rovings and socks.
Come and visit us at the Norwood Fair on Thanksgiving weekend.

New puppy pics

Well we only have 3 puppies left. 2 males and 1 female.

Shearing

Shearing is done.Even better,I can walk again to-day.Now the fun starts. We have 70 bags and 1 barrel of fibre that needs to be grouped,skirted,and then I need to decide outside processing,for sale as raw fibre, or do I process it myself.Don't think I'm ready for that to-day.
We also confirmed that we will have at least 3 more babies. Yeh!
