Busy Busy Busy

Well, if I had to make an educated guess I'd venture that this has been my slowest month blogging since I started in 2003... too much going on to take the time to write. That's a sorry excuse and I know it, but, well, after this much inactivity excuses are all I have

This is the first year since I started with sheep in 2003 that the entire flock has been sheared before Father's Day. Stalls have been cleaned, gardens tilled and planted, gates painted and water tanks set (and reset). The front porch got a bit of a makeover, with more on the way. I have a rock wall about halfway done across a section of the yard we're starting to call The Vé (The Sanctuary).

We got the spare room cleaned up so we can actually entertain overnight guests. Lorraine found a used drum carder on the 'Net and we bought it - saved about $700 and got a superb piece of equipment. She's been carding and spinning to beat the band.

Bill the Llama still has his fleece - that's gotta go. And a storm last evening took down a chuck of the ironwood tree in the pasture - that's got to be cleared and cut. And we still have two stalls and the henhouse to muck out. So we're still going to be busy, busy, busy. But I will try to do better about finding time to blog.
