Shearing cancelled

Sunday's shearing was cancelled. We may be getting snow or rain, weatherman can't say which, anyway, it's going to be cold this week. Started washing some lambswool and got two dye pots going since the woodstove in the shop was burning. Carded several kid mohair fleeces, black and gray, finished the red fleece of Hannah.Unloaded the left over fiber from Peachtree handspinner's meeting on Saturday.It's good to tallk to someone other than sheep and goats, especially fiber folks.I love seeing what a fiber artist does with my wool and mohair, and I sold enough to pay for my hay for February. I appreciate all my supporters. Don't think that a flock of sheep and angora goats is going to support you, but if you work real hard, day and night, they will support themselves, and you get the pleasure of being a sheepherder.Not to mention queen of the manure pile. Really, all you can say is, herding a flock of sheep and goats will keep you in good shape, and that means alot.And all that manure makes good garden soil.
