HELLO
It is a misty morning here at the farm. The trees are in a foggy haze. It’s quite peaceful. Although it rained there was no rain in the barn The birds seem quite busy looking for nesting material now and there is plenty of it here
PURPLE DYEING
I dyed more purple yesterday and am dyeing a batch of red today. I will take some of this up to Vermont to sell.
HOOKED PIECE FOR CLASS
I started on this piece yesterday and was hoping that I would have it done by Wednesday night but I don’t think so. Too many other things to do. I will certainly have it done by the weekend and bring it to Sheep and Shawl next week.
The piece will be rectangular and have a wooden stem. I have not decided about the leaves yet, I thought I would get the background color started and work my way down.
MIRACLE GROW
If you buy this product you are buying a product of a partner of Monsanto. Please consider and purchase something else or if you live near me you can e-mail me and pick up some really good plant grower made right here on the farm. Its called barn scrapings or LOTTIE DOO. When my beloved Lottie was still alive I packaged up small amounts of dried and composted stuff from the barn. My cousin Gary came up with the name Lottie Doo. It was very popular and made a wonderful gift for the gardener. Someday I will do it again.
MOTICICA’S HOUSING
Here is the cage that my friend lent me. It will work perfectly probably for the first month.
Many thanks for reading my blog and I hope your day is wonderful. Carole
