Punkin's Patch: Two Full Moons In The Same Month
http://myfavoritesheep.blogspot.com/2015/07/two-full-moons-in-same-month.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Two Full Moons In The Same Month. Last night the full moon rose early, high in the still light sky. I sat out for a good while watching it and enjoying the cool (for a change) evening air, smuggly plotting how I'd get a perfect shot the next day. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the ISS (International Space Station). Went whizzing across the night sky. This evening it was completely dark (? It's actually a blue moon. Labels: cool space stuff. July 31, 2015. I enjoyed...

http://myfavoritesheep.blogspot.com/2015/07/yarn-along-whats-next-with-all-that.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Yarn Along - What's Next With All That Colorful Wool? There are a ton of pictures with this post, but there could have been more :-o. I love my basket of Renny wool! I almost hate to disturb it to start spinning. But I also can't wait to start spinning either. It's complicated ;-). Let's back up a few days and get caught up. A week and a half ago. Miss B and I dyed Renny's light 2015 locks and the dark gray 2011 roving for the sweater body dark green. Well, we thought. This is t...

Punkin's Patch: A Baker's Dozen - Fresh From The Oven...Or At Least It Feels That Way
http://myfavoritesheep.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-bakers-dozen-fresh-from-ovenor-at.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. A Baker's Dozen - Fresh From The Oven.Or At Least It Feels That Way. I've spent quite a bit of time in the barn this last week because the weather has been so hot and sooo humid that the sheep are not just miserable, but a couple are really struggling. Sheep handle cold just fine. It's the heat that will kill them, especially if they are a little, um,. Emily and Casper Belly. Renny, dreaming of being a Liddy babysitter so she could get at all that different crazy lush grass.

Punkin's Patch: Equinox Farm
http://myfavoritesheep.blogspot.com/p/equinox-farm.html
We closed on the purchase of our farm on the fall equinox in 2003 and really put on our thinking caps to come up with the name Equinox Farm ;-). Seriously though, it meant a great deal to both of us and truly seemed to "fit", just like the farm itself. Four "entertaining" Adventure Chickens and as many small birds and critters as the above mentioned useless cats allow. We are happy to welcome guests to our farm to meet the sheep or just sit and relax on the porch. We ask that you please contact us (e...

Monday, July 20, 2015. Or maybe it's just cats ;-). Raise your hand if you'd like to run out there and give him a tummy rub :-). Miss B came over and we dyed half of the rest of Renny's light gray fleece yesterday. In between laughing at silly Eli. It's not nice to laugh at cats.". July 20, 2015. Smart cat doing its stretchings we should all do the same regularly to keep our flexibility. July 20, 2015. Eli has the right idea in this hot humid weather! Id give him a tummy rub anytime!

Punkin's Patch: A Somewhat Comprehensive List Of Things Liddy Will Eat
http://myfavoritesheep.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-somewhat-comprehensive-list-of-things.html
Thursday, May 21, 2015. A Somewhat Comprehensive List Of Things Liddy Will Eat. Only if you hand feed them to her while she sits on your lap. She eats those, and all special treats, standing on my feet. Ridiculously cute! Liddy is one of the smartest lambs we've had. She does amazing things like negotiating how to get around a gate (we've had dogs that couldn't figure that. I've tried a couple different types of hay and yesterday I broke down and bought a bale of fancy alfalfa/grass mix hay from TSC....

Saturday, November 22, 2014. Time Flies When You're Having Fun. So, you haven’t heard from me in awhile. September and early October were packed with teaching events, travelling to Wisconsin, then New Jersey, then two events in Michigan. At the end, I was pooped but happy. I met so many delightful and kind fiber folks. It was a wonderful wooly whirlwind. Magazine for their “stash busting” issue, Spring 2015. Here is my initial suggestion to the magazine’s editor:. I allowed myself two days to relax.

Stone Sock Blog: Copyright, Copy Wrong
http://stonesockblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/copyright-copy-wrong.html
Saturday, December 13, 2014. I write knitting patterns. Not many, but some. And I sell those patterns. (You can find them on Ravelry. I would hope that no one would make copies of my patterns without my permission. I would hope that if a knitter is interested in knitting one of my designs then that knitter would be willing to pay a modest fee for the effort I put into the design and pattern. In the course of my knitting life, I have purchased many patterns. I mentioned one in a recent blog post.
