I’m here to tell you- it can! Long story short- last Thursday I began some emergency farm sitting for a farm that has 9 Icelandic sheep and a donkey. Rumor had it that the donkey- her name is Sally- is pregnant- but more rumors said that they’ve been saying that forever – so who knew? [...]

Getting ready for Sedalia
Posted in Uncategorized on May 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The 2008 Sedalia Spring Fiber Festival is Saturday. If I’d figured out how to do sidebar links by now, it would be listed there. I’ll be there sharing a booth with my friend Connie of Sunflower Forge (she will have some excellant alpaca roving there). And we’ll be right beside Kid Hollow (all the better to torture [...]
Poof is gone

That was Poof when he was a baby. He was an English Angora with incredible blue eyes. My daughter found him laying on the floor in the boys’ room yesterday morning. He was due for a shearing yesterday, and I had been looking forward to it, because he would always stand up on his hind [...]
“What do you do with all those animals?”

That was the question posed to me by Carol of Mad for Knit. Well, I’ll tell you. Mostly, they are here for love. And I should answer Amy’s wondering about who was loving who (it took me a sec to see what you saw- gave me a good giggle)- lemme clarify. That was actually cookie time. Rosie [...]
So this is 42.

Hmmm.
It came with lots of silver highlights in my hair. Now, here was 42 years ago:
I was about 2 weeks old then. That was my older brother, Eric, at 5. I adored him already. And here I am at 2 (this seems to be the way these birthday posts are playing out- baby, 2, current):
What [...]
Keets!

Baby guineas. These guys are one day old. O. and I just picked them up this afternoon. C.’s friend is over tonight because she knew they were coming. I’ve just banished all kids upstairs for a bit so these guys can rest. They make the sweetest little peeping noises. They are in a bin right [...]
The keets are coming! The keets are coming!

I’ll leave you to ponder that while I go get them. One hint- it has nothing to do with parakeets.
Happy Mother’s Day

Rosie and baby Griffin:
It’s been raining buckets on the poor things today.
My middle boy, E., who is in kindergarten, gave me this lovely huge envelope filled with goodies, including a silhouette of himself. There are drawings of hearts on there, he and I hugging, a picture of this goat that I loved [...]
Let’s Finish Maryland
Posted in Uncategorized on May 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s my loot- actually, that’s a poor choice of words this year considering there was some vandalism and some theft. It’s been all over the Maryland group at Ravelry and Jennifer from Spirit Trail covered it well, so rather than rehash it, you can read about it there. Now, here are my finds:
From Little Barn there is this [...]
Look what I found…

Bet you thought it was going to be something from Maryland, didn’t you? Nope. I’ve found where my guineas are laying their eggs. Apparently they will lay in one place. Unfortunately, I can’t use any of these eggs, since I don’t know how long they have been there. So far I have 2 in the [...]
