Feb 3, 2016
Wednesday, February 3, 2016 Wow it’s cold lately! Or maybe it’s just that we’re getting a teeny weeny bit tired of winter? Oh did I really say that? 😉 I think we’ll get a few days break from any new snow, at … Continued
What are you grateful for?
Tuesday, February 2, 2016 Groundhog Shmoundhog! I can tell you for sure with all the snow we have here, there will be no early spring! LOL The blowing winds yesterday made drifts that forced me to find new paths to the barns. I have to keep reminding myself to be grateful that at … 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
Sunday January 31
Sunday, January 31, 2016 Well we got hammered again with more snow. I must make a mental note to put any future hay barns nearer to the barn when the animals live! The chicken coop seemed like it was in the next county! LOL … Continued
Just a wee one
Saturday, January 30, 2016 Yes, it’s snowing and after looking at the traffic cams I’m really glad we cancelled our event today. Yesterday afternoon all the animals were acting a little strange. The alpacas were hanging closely together and wouldn’t go in the barn, even after I put their new hay … Continued
Here we go again
Friday, January 29, 2016 More snow is on it’s way later today. I guess we’re getting all the snow this year that we missed last year. Most of this storm will arrive tomorrow. We’re cancelling our fiber day for tomorrow because … 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
My personal guardian
Tuesday, January 26, 2016 The store inventory is almost completed! I will finish a spinning project today and add more handspun yarn to the store as soon as I can. We have alpaca socks in most sizes, a good selection of … Continued
Nighttime lullabies
Monday, January 25, 2016 On occasion, usually close to a full moon, the guardian dogs bark A LOT at night. But when they do that, we know they are working. If a cougar is prowling nearby, they know it and will … Continued
56 more days
Saturday, January 23, 2016 More snow for us today, but it sounds like our friends on the east coast are really getting hammered. It’s one thing to endure a storm huddled in your home, but when you have animals outside to … 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
