Checking the pasture this morning. The fog was so dense it seemed dark for longer this morning and I didn’t go out right away. The sheep had already been out eating.
This is Day 3 of grazing this paddock but it looks as though there is still plenty of forage.
When I walked outside this morning I heard a lamb and I wondered if one of my ewes had an “oops” lamb from when the rams got out (or in with the ewes) but it still wasn’t the right timing. The sheep grazing Across the Road have now been moved to right across from our house.
There is one black lamb in this flock.
There are two guardian dogs and this one noticed me standing at the mailbox. He barked until I retreated.
Tanning is ongoing. Last night was the second session of the “hair-on” class. These will stay in the barrels for a week. They are tanning in mimosa.
About a dozen people came for Spinners’ Day Out today. I think that today two people were spinning, one inkle weaving, one floor loom weaving, four knitting, one using a blending board, and everyone enjoying the conversation and great snacks.
Carla finished the weaving she started two days ago at the Weave Like a Viking class!
Sue brought me a gorgeous wreath. She wove the ribbon using hand spun yarn from one of my sheep! Beautiful!!
