Kids

Curly had two small doe kids, just like her, so she has enough milk for four kids, Murphy's law. The other does had bigger twins that seem to keep them nursed down to the point I am checking to see if they are getting enough. They are. There were tornadoes all around us last night but fortunately, we only got much needed rain.  Dropped off some roving and locks at the art gallery today and found out our rent is going up. There is really no profit in selling handspun, handknit or handwoven items when you consider all the time involved. It takes months of work, feed and care of the fiber animal, shear it, wash, dye, card, spin, knit, weave or felt it. Selling a few items at the gallery brings in money for feed and hay, but with a fifty-fifty split I am keeping someone elses dream going, not mine.
