This morning it’s snowing just enough to brighten up the grey piles that pepper the landscape, but the other morning when I opened the door, I smelled Spring…a welcome change from the all familiar wood smoke of Winter! And last week, our cat was stalking a Robin that was flitting around in one of the apple trees. A Robin…? I know, it seems a little early to me. But I guess Spring really is coming… thank goodness! We’re ready for it…even the inevitable boot-sucking muck!
a little taste...
Another sign — SHEARING…the big reveal…our Spring Harvest! It’s all happening on Saturday, March 5th. Emily, our wonderful shearer, will get started at about 9:30AM and will finish up when the sheep are naked…probably about 4PM. Come by for a fleece preview. We’ll give you a job if you’d like one or you can bring a chair and just hang out. Stay all day or for just a little while. We’ll be happy to see you !! Can’t wait to see those fleeces! It might be a little too early to see signs of lambs but maybe we’ll get lucky.
Waiting for Emily...growing yummy fleece!
I’m going to make some chili &/or soup & bread for all who’d like to stay afterwards. And we’ll have drinks on hand. Please let us if you’re coming so we’ll plan enough food for all to enjoy and please bring a little something to share (hints: chocolate is a big hit and I don’t bake). It’ll be fun to relax and chat after a day of fleece and sheep handling!
Hi Pam,
I am surely going to be there. Would you like me to bake something?
