Mid-January Farm

The sheep and goats have pretty much decimated our Christmas tree.  Priscilla is still nibbling on it.

Last Sunday I was able to work on my sheep tribute scarf while watching football which is just about perfect for me.

The glass rain gauge tube broke at the end of December.  I was having a hard time finding a replacement.  But finally I was able to find one and replaced it in grampa’s rain gauge on Tuesday.  Part of my difficulty is because I am still boycotting Amazon.

Last night (Friday), Tom and I went to Bellingham to see Scott Losse.  He is a comedian from Burien, and it was so nice to laugh again.

This morning I was able to get the last of the bands from the chickens’ legs.  The last two were on a Ancona hen and a hen out of our Fluffy, a strong-willed bantam hen we have.  Both were very difficult to catch, but I finally was able to by cornering them in the old pheasant pen (which they cannot fly out of) and our large fishing net.  So that chore is over, and I will not be using bands anymore unless forced to for some reason.

This morning was cold and frosty.  I was able to get relatively close to this GBH enjoying the sun.

The cows seemed to enjoy it too.  They are not looking very pregnant in this photo.  Hopefully they are.

This afternoon we watched the lifestream tribute from San Francisco for Bob Weir.  It ended with a rendition of Ripple.  It was really nice but made me cry a lot.

Then this evening we are rooting for the Seahawks!  So far, so good.  I am sure our Seahawks light is helping them.

Go Hawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Thanks Jeanne! They won in a huge fashion. It was really fun watching them play so well. It’s going to take a while to get this scarf done. And it’s a little wonky due to using so many different yarns. I think the small circular knitting is not doing me any favors.

    I have not used Amazon in two years after repeated deliveries that were damaged and not delivered and they would not do anything about it. I do admit that most times when I am searching for something they always list amazon but I am able to find it elsewhere and usually for cheaper.
