The felted fleece rugs are ready for sale.  I call them rugs, but some people have used them on chairs to sit on, on their laps for warmth, and even as a shawl.  They are pictured on a 6′ x 3 ‘ table to get an idea about size.  I have photographed both the lock and felted sides.  They are $150 each and are a great gift giving idea.  This is from wool from Wendel,

from Vanessa,

from Bambam,

and from Harlen.  Let me know if you are interested or have any questions.

Teddy is getting used to us.  He follows me wherever I go but enjoys running around the farm.

We have bought all kinds of toys, chewing items, and licking devices, and he doesn’t seem interested in any of it.  We did get Ryeleigh yet another Mr. Bill so she is happy.

I made myself a Clover Club cocktail Sunday evening before a work shift.  I even made my own raspberry syrup.  It was pretty and tasty.

There was a pretty full moon coming up over the barn last evening.  Once again the iPhone photo doesn’t do it justice.

This morning doing chores I found our bronze turkey hen is laying eggs.  I found a turkey egg the other day and wasn’t sure what was happening.  I have 3 eggs now so I have started incubating them.  My egg turner wasn’t working so I have ordered another one.  We shall see what happens.

I moved the cows to their winter field today.  Usually we have been feeding hay since mid October, but none so far this year.  It feels weird.  Sonja was excited to be back with the street cleaner brush again.

All of the cows appreciated the fresh grass.

The pumpkins I tried to carve with the grandkids names have ripened.  Other squash has been ripening next to the wood stove in the trailer as well.  So I dealt with all of them today.

I also pressed the quince with some Barland pears and stray apples.  That is the extent of the farming I have accomplished this week.

P.S. I finished this little book.  It is the book I have long been looking for as it describes how the indigenous people here harvested, preserved and prepared the local food sources including fish, seafood, game, fruits, vegetables and condiments.  There is even a description of a feast.  I am looking forward to trying these recipes.

P.P.S. I voted and hope you have too.  If not, please do.  The voices of the people affected by government actions need to be heard.
