Hello All,
I have not forgotten you. I've just had a really busy spring! The farm has had a busy year too. I wanted to recap the last year in pictures. So, starting with last July.....
 |
| Simba, Cece's half brother joined the flock, bringing our number up to 3. |
 |
| As you can see, he makes room for himself to eat. |
 |
| Cocoa had Cece last March 31st. Mama and daughter look like twins! |
 |
| Time for a manicure for Mama |
 |
| And baby |
 |
| The chickens offered to help out. |
 |
| I picked up Cocoa's fleece last July and finally got to washing it out in January. |

| Cocoa's fleece waiting for the water to fill. |
 |
| Unwashed curl |
 |
| Great length for spinning. |
 |
| Time to swim |
 |
| Yes, the water is very brown. Lot's of dust in a sheep fleece. |
 |
| All washed up and on the drying racks. |
 |
| Here is Cocoa on April 6th, waiting to be sheared. That's Cece in back waiting for her first clip. |
 |
| And this is how we found out that Cocoa was expecting! |
 |
| The next morning, April 7th, Mary went out to the barn and found Cocoa with freshly hatched twin ram lambs! |
 |
| Meet Kryptonite and Lapis! |
 |
| A freshly shorn Cocoa feeding the boys |
 |
| Simba's first clip |
 |
| And finally, the 2011 fiber shares were shipped out. Thank you all for your patience! |
Happy Spinning!
Regards,
Karen
