After triangle loom has sat empty for weeks, finally found a little time to start weaving. Weaving with my cormo yarn with silk noil and hand dyed by me. The colors pop more in real time. Gotta learn how to use my iPhone camera!

My client is giving away her alpacas which are located on my farm. There are three breeding females and one gelded male. The two oldest girls have birthed successfully and the youngest is still a maiden. The youngest also took a fifth place ribbon at a large show a few years ago. Their registrations come with them. Please pm me if interested.

Charlie is the laziest barn cat I have ever seen. He'd rather be sunning himself on a rock than catching mice in the barn!

Berry bushes doing much better this year!

Finally picked up my nuc colonies today. I was totally amazed by how huge the colonies were. Love these bees...was able to install both nucs in shorts and a tee shirt. The Carniolan bees are so gentle. I absolutely love them. A big thank you to Mike's Bees in Forest, Ohio.

Moonglow's donation to CET's Action Auction which will be held the end of this month. This will benefit our local public broadcast station which we love. The basket looked great until somebody almost hit me head on and I had to slam on my brakes! Hopefully the folks at CET can make it look great again!

Spent the morning with a wonderful group of young ladies at Xavier University. We held our Into to Spinning class. Everyone was very attentive and all showed a lot of patience working with drop spindles and wheels. I was very impressed with how quickly everyone was spinning their first yarn!

Kitten, aka Shreds, showed up a few months ago and never left. He has decided his most favorite hangout is with the alpacas and Great Pyranees.
