Does this count?!

Hello, it's me Maggie. Does this count as NOT being allowed on the bed? I don't think it should count but thought I'd ask everyone else. I mean my head isn't really on the pillow and my eyes are open so it's not like I'm sleeping or anything. No one else in this bed seems to think I'm on the bed so what's the big deal?

Did I mention I have some FIBER?!

Saturday was a wonderful day! Jim and I traveled over to Carothers Country Mill, through Winona, through Goodview and over to Minnesota City. If you haven't made time to visit the mill try to do so...it is so worth it! Lynda suggested I make my blending options so I began laying out the washed bags of fiber; llama, shetland, mohair groupings that I've raised! I have way more than I'm showing here something like 150 #'s!!!!! OMG everyone. I hope you all need fiber for spinning and knitting. The fiber is gorgeous and we have over 8#'s of an unbelievably soft to the touch llama roving from a red/white shearing. I can't stand it it is all so beautiful and soft to the feel. Lynda has two employees that I managed to picture and put on this blog posting. Phoebe is 3#'s and prefers to be held and then there is the 5 month watch kitten of the mill. Both are hysterical and so much fun to play with and watch. We finished our rainy day by visiting the Lark Toy Factory which was AMAZING! It is in Kellogg, MN. I could have spent all day there. We drove back to Blackhammer, MN without incident and as the day progressed learned of all the tragedy to strike the very towns and highways we had just traveled across. Lynda is safe and so are we.

Little Cutie!

Meet Black Silk, a full Bolivian tiny reverse appy female. She is out of my prized Acobamba x Andina. I call her a black silky, then took it a step further and named her BLACK SILK

My Family Vacation

Our family vacation was last week. Dave, Jim and I spent a wonderful week at our farm! Working, playing and vacationing. We discovered Maggie particularly loved fishing. As with all great vacations and time together the ending was bitter sweet. We had to go back to work!

Names for so many!!!

Meet Zarita a full Argentine female cria. Then it's gorgeous red and gray Sundot a male full South American boy, with white legged and silky black Starrtyme a small female. Meet Blake with Jim overlooking the valley on our farm finished with Maggie...exhausted after playing with her new cousin a chocolate lab puppy named Max. Maggie says, "I thought this was supposed to be about me. Not those new llama cria!"

I Can't be on the Bed!

I really think this doesn't count as a NO, off the bed because I am so helpful. I can tell I am helping. It looks and feels like I'm helping. I am important and besides I am ON THE BED.
