April was busy (unless you were Archie), but fun. Lots of spring flowers, new bees, new raised beds (that I'm having to replant after the really hard freeze over the weekend :-/) all the spinning, a little painting, beautiful moons, interesting fog, good sheep, good friends...

Meanwhile, Back Before Spring Shearing...
April has been just a blur. These pictures are fun of Archie and Possum, so better late than never. I also have pre-shearing sheep pictures and post shearing pictures. Any interest in seeing those or has that ship sailed until next year? Maybe as a puzzle or two?
Archie and Possum both loved hanging out on the roll bale.
But as with most things "Possum", frequently dissolved into a fight.
"Possum!"
"What?"
The top roof is the one Archie fell off of a few years ago? Well, he fell off the lower roof, too, on the way down.
I'm guessing he only has about three lives left...that I know about.

Speaking Of Cats
I just added a cute picture of Bullseye to yesterday's post. I'd saved it...and then promptly forgot about it.
On a crazy note, a video of Possum and Archie with a little bit of Bea went viral on Instagram last week. Not millions of views viral (thank goodness), but as of this morning, 230,000 views.
Leave it to Possum, the Murphy of the cat world here.
I think part of why this happened was a short poem by Carl Sandburg that begins "The fog comes on little cat feet." I wasn't aware of that, so am happy I got something of value from the 318 (!) comments that the post received...most of which I don't believe were bots.

Tuesdays Are For Knitting
Some signs of spring! Melting snow, a baby chick and an open door :-).
Pinot being outside is not a sign of spring because he's been going out all winter, but his muddy feet could be a clue :-).
I couldn't resist making my Emotional Support Chicken her own baby chick. These are fun little projects and a great way to use up small amounts of leftover yarn. Here's a link to the patterns.

The 74 Days Of January
It wasn't really that bad, but it does seem like a long time ago since we had green grass!

Hug A Sheep Day Fun
The sheep started their day before dawn so I missed walking out in the back field with them and had to punt on the flock walk and ended up opening the arena to talk them into a second breakfast. The arena is a big treat for them and they were happy to comply.
Hopefully you can just click the above picture to watch if you'd like.
There were plenty of cookies and crackers and everyone mostly took turns trying to trick everyone into sneaking them an extra or two ;-).
After 15 years of farm parties that were too warm to wear a wool sweater, I knit not one, but two vests over the summer and fall in hopes of being able to wear a farm sweater to our farm party...and it was too cold. I wore my Lamb Camp poncho for awhile, but was glad to switch to my B. Willard sweater to warm back up.
All the party pictures were taken by my friend Amy (more to come about that) except this one of Naughty Bea having to be carried up the driveway in a car so she didn't get run over by a car...
...and this sweet picture of Bullseye sleeping on the swing with his favorite party guest. I tried to get a video of him swinging, but that was when Naughty Bea drove up and he woke up and jumped away.
Even the chickens got some cookies. Zelda is in the middle of her fall molt so she needed the extra calories to help stay warm.

August
I know this is really late, but as the month progressed, I knew what was coming and I just couldn't bring myself to go through pictures and videos. I decided to put it off until the end of September and just get all the heartbreak done on one day.
Even though life was still pretty good in August...

July
July...was brutal. So incredibly hot and humid. Demoralizing. I did manage to spend about 36 hours up north for a wedding...and that made it almost worse. Worse in a "need to buy a lottery ticket" way. And yet, watching these photo flash by, there was a little good mixed in...but I can say it was better watching it than living it.
