Happy St Patty's Day

In honor of St Patrick's Day I have dyed this bright green!!

The sun is shinning in the window today, I feel like spring has really here.

Look at this, its the daffodils!!

The barn has been quiet this week, we still have 3 ewes left to lamb, and I'm not sure how much longer we have to wait.  I must get out the calendar and see when the last day of lambing could be.  This happens every year.  There are always a few stragglers, but I would rather have stragglers than open ewes. 

The April and May class list is almost ready.  I will post it by the end of the week.  I have been washing and dyeing wool like a fool this week.  I need to have it all done and sent out to the processors by the end of the week.  I think I will make it!!

lambs, lambs, everywhere lambs

It has been quite a week.  We now have 76 lambs... with 6 ewes left to lamb.  Yesterday Tom and Greg moved the feed bunks to make more room in the pens for the lambs.  It was quite a big project, but it is so much better now.  The lambs are running and having the best time with all the extra space.

I haven't had the time to get my new class list going.  It will be a priority this coming week.  If you have a special interest please let me know. 

Don't forget that we have a workshop at the end of the month for the spinners in the group.  Worsted, Woolen and Whats Between and Perfect Plying.  Both classes will be held at the shop on March 27.  Contact me for more info.  We still have openings so sign up soon!!!

Heres a few more pictures of some of the new lambs.

This is Goose with her new ram lamb.

Remember Osie and Olive?  Isn't she growing like a weed? 

This is one of the Wensleydales with a new lamb.  She has twins but one of them is shy.

Its hard to believe that its almost over....
