Looking back a couple of weeks, at the intersection of permanent and temporary fencing, the sheep come to water, salt and minerals. They love to watch the wild turkeys pecking and scratching on the other side.
Spring Birds
With summer just around the corner, we thought you might enjoy this look back at spring ‘out our window’.
Wool and Sari
We’re pretty disappointed excited that these spinning batts did not sell at our Open House. We carded lambs’ wool dyed with cochineal exhaust with sari silk waste bits for a little texture and pops of color. The idea is to spin it up and knit a chunky scarf. Some of those beautiful sari silk waste ribbons are destined to become the fringe. Now if we can only squeeze this in to the busy summer schedule.
Many Thanks
Many thanks to all who braved the threat of stormy weather to join us at our Open House last Sunday. The sun came out, Aurora Celtic entertained us with beautiful music, and the pony rides were a huge hit with the kids. Merry, Pippen and Samwise delighted the crowd as only triplets can. We had a great time visiting with old friends and making new ones.
We’re so very grateful to all the family members who were huge help in getting ready. Once again, everything fell together despite all the obstacles. Thanks, again, everyone!

Alas, that June should come when thou didst go;
I think you passed each other on the way;
And seeing thee, the Summer loved thee so
That all her loveliness she gave away;
Her rare perfumes, in hawthorn boughs distilled,
Blushing, she in thy sweeter bosom left,
Thine arms with all her virgin roses filled,
Yet felt herself the richer for thy theft;
Beggared herself of morning for thine eyes,
Hung on the lips of every bird the tune,
Breathed on thy cheek her soft vermilion dyes,
And in thee set the singing heart of June.
And so, not only do I mourn thy flight,
But Summer comes despoiled of her delight.
~ Sonnet by Willa Cather

Big and Bulky
It’s here! Big, bulky and beautiful! New 3-ply millspun yarn from our longwool girls. It was processed at Stonehedge Fiber Mill. Once again, they’ve done a wonderful job. We’ll have a few skeins available at our Open House tomorrow.
