What a winter it has been. Much like everywhere else we’ve had more snow, more wind, more sub-zero temperatures. The girls… well they pretty much take everything in stride… as long as the hay arrives in a timely manner. And the snow, well it does make for pretty picture taking.

There are some really beautiful colors coming out of the dye pots on these wintry days.
Here, our longwool and hogget millspun skeins have been naturally-dyed with logwood and cochineal.
Stay tuned for more 🙂
Sub-zero temperatures, mounting snow pack and strong winds have all made winter chores much more difficult.
We’ve tried to take a few moments here and there and capture the beauty of these days of ‘snow globe weather’.
Here are just a few scenes from the pasture…
Thank you for the soundtrack of our childhood, the songs we sang to our babies, for everything you did for mankind.
Rest in Peace, Pete Seeger

As we mentioned earlier this week, all the breeding groups are broken up and the bred ewes are back in the barn pasture along with Liam and Fury, two of the rams.
Poseidon and Aragorn, the other two rams are now in the back pasture, where after a bit of a ‘discussion’ they have pretty much settled in. Their job is done, and they will spend the next months putting weight back on that they lost during breeding season. They are content, except for the time they spend walking the fence line looking for ‘lost love’.
