Saturday, June 25, 2016 Our 2016 hay delivery started last night and we hope to get the rest all tucked inside the barns today. It’s a wonderfully chilly morning at 47° so a perfect day for stacking hay. I’ll be … Continued
More Yarn!
Friday, March 11, 2016 Another warm day for Woodland, maybe the ice and frozen poop pile in front of the girls barn will yield a little. I’d love to get that cleaned up, but until it thaws, shoveling efforts are futile. We … Continued
Feels like spring!
Sunday, February 28, 2016 T’was a beautiful day here yesterday, lots of projects completed and more planned. We had two lovely groups of visitors and hopefully one will turn into a new spinner. The alpacas got to stretch their legs searching for those tender new blades … Continued
More handspun yarn :)
Saturday, February 6, 2016 The forecast for today says ZERO percent chance of snow. Hmmmm, we’ll see. I only trust the weather stone. But just in case they’re right, I’ll put more hay outside for the herd to enjoy. They all prefer to eat … Continued
Bye bye January
Monday, February 1, 2016 Welcome February! And it’s still snowing! ❄️ I’m getting used to the new routines of trudging through the snow to get the chores done, it just takes a little longer than I’d like. I’ll start working on the February newsletter … Continued
A magic shadow
Thursday, January 28, 2016 I’ve started spinning the purple roving and it’s making wonderful yarn. It will be in Yaya’s Yarn Barn before our next Open Barn event on Saturday Feb 13. Working with spring colors is really a good idea in the dead … Continued
The fiber side of things
Wednesday, January 27, 2016 Brrr, another chilly morning here at 3° below zero. Grateful that we cut paths thru the snow while it was fresh, once it gets this cold it’s much harder. I got my spinning project finished and … Continued

The whole truth!
Thursday, January 21, 2016 I think we got about a foot of new snow yesterday. Of course it’s pretty but I’ll tell ya, it made navigation around here a bit difficult for us. Ed came home early to plow the … Continued
Busy snowy weekend ahead
Friday, January 15, 2016 More snow for today and it looks like we’re in for a rather white weekend. Skiers will be delighted, those who have to drive the canyons not so much. I have more than enough to keep me busy right here – … Continued
St. Distaff’s Day!
Thursday, January 7, 2016 Our snow has been minimal and today’s accumulation will be less than an inch. Perfect. Enough to freshen things up, but not enough to block the gates from opening. I hope to get some spinning time … Continued
Let sleeping dogs lie
Sunday, November 22, 2015 We had such a great group here for our fiber gathering yesterday! Thanks to those who came! We’ll definitely do it again this winter, so be sure you get our newsletters to find out when that … Continued

Life is good
Wednesday, September 2, 2015 Spinning and knitting every day now should have me ready for Open Barn Days by the end of the month. So often visitors will ask me for something made from our animals’ fiber and made by … Continued
