I am not one for tooting my own horn but I just have to share a couple of neat things I am proud of!The feature article in Spin-Off magazine is about the CVM/Romeldale breed and I was happy to provide the fleece to Robin Russo for her project. There is also a photo of...
Ashley had another near death experience this weekend. We came out to do the morning chores and found her cast (on her back, unable to upright herself) against the shed wall and had kicked out the bottom board in an effort to right herself. I have written about this...
May was a blur....from getting ready for the spring sheep and wool shows and all that goes with that to spring bursting forth here on the farm to then being away for a week at the end of the month. My flow has been anything but steady! Our spring has been stunning...
It arrived last night about 8PM in a mini-van with her Mom, two brothers and little sister. The black flies were thick at dusk, an unusually heavy air hung over the farm. We never have seen it so buggy here until this year. Is it due to the plight of the bat...

Back from the CT sheep and wool show and what a long short trip! For the past few years Diane and I have roomed together for the show as we both work our booths alone and it makes for a fun break to get a chance to visit. We agreed to meet at the hotel first and then...
Just took a walk around the farm to say goodbye, it's so peaceful and I'll miss it. But only for a day as I drive south today for the CT Sheep and Wool Festival tomorrow. It's a stunning day today and the weekend promises more of the same, although a bit warmer than...
Jack and I got our spring peas, spinach and broccoli planted this weekend with a little help from our friends.We have already noticed the benefit of chickens as they cruise around the farm...we have no mole hills this spring for the first time in years. Chickens...
