Of stash and baby watch

Someone asked on one of the FB lists to show off

their stash. Well, I will show you a little.

 13 fleeces from this year's shearing.

Waiting for more than one day of good

weather so they can be reskirted, bagged and tagged.

 Waiting on Dani to give birth.

She is the only visible one left to go.

 Chip. A SMALL yearling Horned Dorset ram.

 2 of coated fleeces waiting to be sheared.

I don't know if the VERY old man will be sheared.

 Next year's stash growing on the hoof.

 Some of my bedroom stash.

Fleeces I have on the blog as I do not yet

have the shoulder to spin. New fleeces will

be sheared this spring from the same sheep.

Some of my sale rovngs, and baskets of

our own Wool n' Ewe yarn.

Taking a break from fleeces

We were in the mid 60's here March 1st.

Mud season has started, and is made worse 

by the tractor. But, it is only bad at the bottom 

of the driveway. People can still park at the barn

and walk across to the front door of the house.

 Hubby cut a red oak that was so big the 

Mahindra could not pull the whole thing up 

the embankment. He ended up cutting it in half.

 We will have firewood for quite some time.

He has another couple of big trees in this area

to cut, as well as all the small ones. This is part

of the pig yard. We hope to get grass growing 

in that acre section this summer and get the sheep out there.

 Thank God, and Jean Helie, for the wood splitter.

EDITED  TO ADD

I got a note from my lazy mail carrier informing us that

she will not deliver any packages to us until the mud is gone.

SERIOUSLY?!?! Don't be pissing off the former rural route

mail carrier! As posted above, she has no reason to come all 

the way down the driveway. She needs to park at the barn and

leave packages at the front door. I found a package late last night,

just before the storm, that was on the ground between the generator

and the house. At the basement door. Come on lady! You've been told

to bring packages to the front door! I don't understand how she gets

away with not doing her job...

Today's pouring rain is not helping the mud situation at the bottom

of the driveway, but the barn driveway is fine. Just plain ticked!
