Fiber Stuff on the Farm

Spring is SLOW coming to our neck of the woods.  We did a family road trip today and ran into snow...in mid April.  I can't remember a more miserable spring than this one.  We have had non-stop rain this week.  I know that we are in great need and I try to think ahead to the beautiful gardens and fruit, but it is tough.  We have been trying to keep busy with projects but sometimes that doesn't help either.  I have been keeping busy with our 2 year old foster son and creating when time permits;)  I designed these felted earrings out of angora to go with my necklaces.  They are really fun to make and I am thinking this may make a perfect class here at the farm!  Stay tuned! We also made the trip to Zeilinger's Fiber Mill in Frankenmuth last week to pick up our finished fiber!  I can't believe how much came back from what we took in.  We got 4 bags of Romney blend and a big bag of pygora from our goats.  I h...

Anniversary

Image
21 years ago today I married my best friend.  When the priest said through sickness and health, we had no idea what those words would mean 6 months later (the first 5 years of our marriage I escaped death twice)  God has brought us many blessings, and along with them came the hard times too.  This love has not only endured but grown stronger daily.  I am blessed beyond belief, this man makes me laugh daily and that has brought us through a lot.  I can't wait to see what God has in store for our future! 21 years old many memories 5+kiddos time ALONE together long ago and more recent These smiles are genuine 

New Life on the Farm

Seven English Angora bunnies were born at the farm yesterday!  This is the first batch for many months (not without trying).  This batch came from Kiree and Cyrus, who is in the picture below. He is the cutest rabbit.  It looks like all the babies will be grey!

Life

The laundry quickly piles up these days, the garden seeds are still in the box,  dishes stack up fast, there are toys strewn throughout this entire house, but we sure are enjoying this little guy.  He and I both have come down with the "crud" this weekend.  Not something that is wanted or needed right now with everything going on.  We are taking it easy today and hoping we are feeling better by tomorrow. HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!!!

Ladies Luncheon

To all my friends in mid-Michigan!  Tail Spin Farm will be having a booth at the ladies luncheon at Clifford Lake Inn, Stanton, Michigan in April!  We did this back in November for their winter luncheon and had a wonderful time.  Gather some friends and come join us for lunch and shopping.

Garden Plans

I am really, really wanting to get my hands dirty. Honest I do!  I am longing to work in the yard this year. Getting muck boots on and not winter boots.  Throwing on flip flops to go outside.  Not having to put on three layers to keep warm.  Carrying buckets of hot water out to the animals because everything is frozen (when my doc. asks if I have a workout program, does this count?) It has been a long winter here folks.  Just cold and grey most of the season.  I am usually a huge fan of winter.  But the calendar says it is spring and I am ready. We woke up this morning to another dusting of snow on the ground, again.  The last two days have been bitter cold, and blustery.  The kind of weather that makes it miserable to even be out in for a few minutes. The pictures above are from last year.  This is where we are still at this year: Last year at this time we were experiencing 70-80 degree weather.  Welcome to...
