Time for an update on Wild Rose Farm "U" for all of her fans ...... several people have asked about her lately and here she is. She seems to be a very active grazer, but is it just that we notice her because of her color?
Speaking of color, we have some new naturally-dyed skeins of yarn washed and ready to be labeled. The dark indigo and yellow/green are full skeins. The other colors in the middle are on shorter, "irregular" skeins. We offer these in "mini skeins" for accent colors (when you don't need/want another full skein) and also for punch needle & rug hooking projects. The yarn can also be "un-plyed" and used as a single strand. Here they are with the sheep that make them possible!
It was very sunny & in the high 60's today .... the forecast is for 70 tomorrow. We did a little hoof trimming & deworming of a few lambs today. Also made note of a couple of ear tags that need to be replaced. Our 11 year old ewe, #802, was checked and she still has her teeth. Good for another year!

These are just beautiful! Too bad I don't knit!
Hey, I once had a woman who bought deep navy, gold, & raspberry skeins of yarn just to put in a basket in her family room. She said she didn't know what to do with them, but she just liked the colors!
Hey cousin!
Lurking in from a very rainy Atlanta today (tropical storm Ida is visiting). I have fun keeping up with you guys through your blogs.
That shot of U made me laugh and reminded me of the children's rhyme...black sheep, black sheep, have you any wool??

Hey WendyB! While you're sitting out Ida, lurk on over to http://www.joekaldon.net/ for a look at the writing of my brother. Just a little plug for him ... "writing brothers" must run in the family!
What fantastic colors...those sheep must be proud.
Glad that you found me & the sheep!
