It's Coming . . .

A storm is coming.  How big of a storm?  Who the heck knows?  I personally think the meteorologists this year are playing too much spin the bottle and not spending enough time watching the weather.  But, if the forecast is at all to be believed we are in for some more snow.  Thank you Mother Nature for reminding us that yes, it truly is still winter.

Wow, Where the Hell Have You Been?

Yes, that question is for me.  We've been busy busy busy, six inches of snow notwithstanding.  I'm sure by now we have shed all of our readers (all three of them), but I feel I must make another attempt to keep this going.

We have had a wet and mucky winter this year, sadly losing a couple animals in the mean time.  Thankfully, none of the lost were animals are ones we personally own, only those we take care of.  Nonetheless it's wrenching when a living being that you have sweat and cared for gives up on life.  We lost two amazing males this winter, MacClaren and MacLuster, both amazing fiber animals.  We are grateful to have their offspring to continue the line - but it still sad to see their faces missing from the herd.

The few animals that we ourselves own are well and growing nicely.  We have a bun in the oven, so to speak, that when born will become our son's first animal.  We can't wait to see it - it has two amazing parents and our boy is already hopeful for ribbons.

More later on doings and goings on.  For now, I want to say thank you for hanging on.  We promise to try and not stay away so long again.
