What epic colors in the sky this morning!

Over at the Tibetan Center grazing site, plenty of fog here. The woolies are looking very pretty w/ their dry fleeces. We will have several more days of dry weather. They will switch sides tomorrow. Hopefully I can get all the winter chores done at home & bring them back before the rain returns.

Yesterday morning I rechecked the lines after yesterday’s blustery weather. Everything was okay and all were in good condition. More hay was put in the rain shelters and they received their breakfast pellets eagerly.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

So here’s the news from Oregon Flock and Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival!!! ALL the fleeces I submitted for jury won ribbons. EVERY SINGLE ONE. And I won some categories, swept another. My lowest ranking was 4th in colored angora bucklings. Everyone else was top 3!! I wrote them out below.

All but two of my fleeces have sold so far at Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival, which is fantastic!! All that work and hours I have put into making sure they show well has really paid off. I’m super grateful. #oregonflockandfiberfestival

I ribboned in the skein contest at Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival. I took 4th & 5th for both of Honeysuckle’s skeins. Not bad for a 1st time entrant. Neither of Helios’ skeins placed. They are loosely plied, which I prefer; the judges wanted it tighter. I’ll try again next year. They loved his wool.

My timpanist pal Martha (in purple) shared this picture of us (I’m to her right). It was 10 years ago today we were having a concert of the Four Seasons on a private estate when I was running The Chamber Orchestra of Phila. Much has changed in my life, but Martha remains one of my best friends.

I made it to the Expo Center with about a half hour to spare to drop off my skeins which were due by 10a for the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. Now I’m waiting for the fleece dropoff to open. I have a total of 13 fleeces that I’m bringing; eight of those for competitions.
