This is the way my days are going...

But, some day I may catch up!! Off to do something... (o;

Winter is finally here!!

Well, Valery. I guess we will have a white Christmas after all. Wednesday, the 9th, we were scheduled to go to Easton, NH for goat hoof trimming. But, the weather had other plans. These are some of the pictures after the fact. We got 12" of snow here. The weatherman said it was snowing 1" per hour.

Sheep-
Cornelius has been such a problem child at feeding time that we have separated him from the rest of the boys. At night he goes into the lambing pen to be fed and stays there until morning. He is getting along with the rest of the boys during the day so much better, now that he doesn't have to 'protect' his food.

The boys eat in their pen, and Cornelius eats in his. Look at the size of those horns!!

My ewes headed out for hay. And then...'No!! We want back in!!' It is funny that the Dorsets all want to eat in the barn and the rest of my sheep (mainly the ones born here on the farm) all want to eat outside. They are also the ones that lie out in the snow and get covered.

Sugar River Spinner's Christmas party

Warning!! This post is photo heavy! (o;
Sugar River Spinners held their annual Christmas party Dec. 6th. (I know I am late posting...life is busy right now!) There was LOTS of great food, lots of WONDERFUL company, and much knitting, spinning and conversation. When (and if) we do finally move south, this is what I am going to miss. We've made lots of friends in this group and we do love you all!!
OK. That's enough for now. I am not going to write about each picture. Most are self explanatory. After dinner, we opened our gifts. Even though no one knew who their gift was going to (we drew numbers), each person got the right thing.

Thank you to all our visitors!!!

Congratulations! Your NeoCounter has reached: 9200 visitors.

First snow of winter 2009-10

This is looking out the windows from 3 sides of the house. Three inches of snow fell from 3 pm last night on. The sun is out now and it is 31 degrees. We will see how long it lasts. (o;

Artisan fair

I get goose bumps when I see my name in print. Especially when I didn't pay for this.

Not what you want to come home to...

The Subaru has been on blocks for a little while now, while we wait for the money to fix the exhaust and all of the brakes. Tuesday, my Jeep decided it wanted to join it. An important stabilizer arm rusted off, and every time you stepped on the gas or let off the gas, it would thump. I am waiting for the junk yard to call with a replacement piece. Getting up at 4:30 am to take Jerry to work is getting old...
