Naughty Laurie trying to steal Mo llama’s food today. Like I don’t feed her!!!

Unfortunately, they haven’t cleared me for PT yet, but I’m hopeful I’ll regain the full range of motion in my shoulder and my wrist. I just need more patience—something I’m completely out of!

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you! Yes, it’s better in many ways. My shoulder is also being affected though, which was unexpected. I’m hoping that will come back. I have lost 50% range of motion on that side.

Autumn leaves today. I love how our big leaf maple tree shares them with us during this time of year.

Yes, of sorts. It’s a protective brace that I wear when I’m working that immobilizes my wrist, hand and forearm.

Got the home rain shelter after Lettie the angora goat doeling had knocked it. It took me several hours to repair but they looked pretty cozy by day’s end. There are some occasions I wish I had a proper lift/cherry picker to make tasks like this easier! Early tomorrow the rain returns.

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 6d

Absolutely!

I’m here vending at the Eugene Wilco in Eugene on 11th. Got my milled batts, raw fleeces and yarns for fiber artists. Come on by! Here until 8p.

Sasha was so happy about supper that she decided to flop on the ground like a fish. Today’s menu included a crock pot mix of brown rice, chicken, pumpkin and broth.

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you. It’s really changing the character of the room.

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 6d

It’s really comforting. I told my husband we’ll have to do the rest of the house because he’s making it so nice.

We’re about 80% finished w/the ceiling in the master bedroom. We are using reclaimed cedar from a friend’s home renovation. Instead of stain, the cedar is being treated with a restorative oil & I enjoy the scent. W/ such warm varied tones, the room changes character throughout the day. #diyprojects

Beautiful sheep!!

I’ll be one of the vendors at our Wilco in Eugene for this Tuesday’s Ladies Night. Looking for handspun yarns, milled roving for handspinning or raw fleeces? Come by between 4p -8p and support a local fiber farmer!

I picked up Doug Fir branches for the goats at home in between the rain bands. They were very enthusiastic.

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 10d

Little Cow (Icelandic sheep ewe lamb), Hazel (Bluefaced Leicester x Gotland ewe) and Isabelle (Gotland ewe) come over asking for pets and scritches.

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 10d

I love when that happens!

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 11d

Sasha still plays with Lamby.

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 11d

Getting ready for the rain system this weekend meant stuffing the rain shelters at the remote site with hay. Though I think the weather isn’t going to be quite as bad as originally predicted, I feel better knowing that they don’t have to go out and graze if they don’t want to.

Thank you ☺️

I loved seeing Lamby (Gotland) and Sasha (Great Pyrenees) together this morning. Lamby was my very first sheep at just a couple months old when he came and Sasha my very first Livestock Guardian & not a year old when she arrived. They’ve maintained their bond since those early days. #fureverfriends

Janelle @wethergirl.bsky.social · 13d

Great Pyrs were being playful and watchful at the remote site this morning. Sasha and Amos are hilarious and so important for what I do with the flock. They are faithful guardians.

Moving bales in the BAH Mobile can challenging as these bales weigh more than I do. I’ll be bringing the goats home, which should make Mo happy. Goats are prone to getting chilled when wet; that’s a lot of rain.

Playing a bit of catch up now that Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival is over. At the remote site, I’m getting ready for the first atmospheric river of the rainy season which will arrive this weekend. We will get 2-3 inches in a short time so I’m stocking up on hay for their rain shelters.
