Now for something completely different. Across from where I work there is a pasture that during the summer months is filled with a small sheep herd. Standing watch over them is 'thunder' the llama. Recently the owner sheared the sheep, and likewise the llama, and was going to discard his coat for lack of anything to do with it. Thankfully, it was quickly snatched up and is now drying after its second wash. This is the third or fourth fleece I have received for free and I am feeling a greater need to get a spinning wheel. Spinning yarn by hand or on a drop spindle takes a lot of time, and prevents me from making thin yarn.The offer has gone out to the homestead group that they can have skeins of their own!!! once I get around to picking, carding, and spinning it. :)
In other news Chef rescued some left over plants from some of her students that have been placed lovingly in the garden. No sense letting good seeds go to waste, so now a 'bunch' of bunching onions and some specialized basil sit in the garden waiting for the thunderstorms this week.
