You have had a round of sickness. Blech. I really hope you all get better, stay well and feel better.

Thanks! DD1 is better, I am still congested, this is ridiculous how long it's been. And baby is still pretty congested too, but happy and sleeping fine.

Maybe if winter would end we could be healthy. Maybe.

DD1 only has two weeks left of fiber class. She's going to be so sad when it ends!

I can just see her, shearing sheep and spinning the wool!

Class next year is August through June though! She can't wait, she loves it.

DH is going smelting tonight. Yuck, fish.

I generally like fish - but for some reason "smelt" does not sound appetizing, lol!

Because it smelt smells?

Ahhh I must restrain myself! There is a 2 week old orphaned Icelandic ram lamb for free from a local breeder!! Ahhh I have so much milk I could bottle feed him with and I would wether him and make him my friend/DD's fleece project. Nope. Can't do it. I love Icelandics.... Sigh.

He sounds great. Why can't you take him?

DH doesn't want fiber animals. And I really don't need a bottle baby right now. We'll see... He'll probably disappear quickly knowing the group it was shared with!

Looking forward to some of these babies going to their new homes. It does mean I have to either start milking Lilly twice a day or dry her off. No one seems to want adult goats, though I've gotten a lot more people looking for kids. I'm going to start separating Mimosa and Bellini's kids overnight this weekend also. DH got my machine working better at least.

They had some luck last night but he gave all the fish to one of the guys who went with him. Sounds like a miserable way to spend your evening if you ask me, standing in the river freezing trying to net tiny little ugly fish. No thanks!

Timing is everything....
