Cold Wet January

Posted by Sharon

Between my annual vacation, and the annual illness that always immediately follows it, I have not updated this site in a while.  The sheep are doing well, fairly oblivious to the insane weather fluctuations we’ve been experiencing.  They graze happily during pouring rain, whipping winds, and blizzard-like snow - and look awfully silly with white puffy piles of snow atop their heads too.  At seemingly random times they will wander into the shelter.  I’m not sure what drives them inside, if anything.  The weather at least does not seem to be a factor that they consider when deciding where to be.

Meanwhile, I have been trying to stay warm by the fire in dreary depressing January (particularly while ill). This lends itself nicely to working on warm wooly tasks like carding, spinning and knitting. There is not much nicer than curling up in front of a hot woodfire with a steaming cup of cocoa and a big pile of wool.  OK, maybe I would prefer Caribbean sunshine and a beach, but until then…
