Shearing, sheep, spring, fleece ... task accomplished.

Shearing is done. I am so glad that chore is accomplished. Now only if we find time to plant the garden.

Hawkweed and vinegar, no Roundup, not supporting Monsanto.

For three springs now we have been spraying hawkweed with plain store bought vinegar. Let me tell you- it works. The hawkweed patches are getting smaller and smaller and I can safely report that 75% of the them are gone. It takes time and patience. But it is absolutely well worth it. I spray anytime I want, no mask, no protective gear, and mostly I do not have to worry about my farm animals walking by me and munching away. I have a post on my Facebook, well several posts, about very serious health consequences of using Roundup.

As you can see from the images I bought several bottles of regular vinegar, I think one large bottle was about $6. Spray container I got at our local farm supply store and voila. I do not dilute the vinegar. Happy safe spraying.

Braid stitch.

Braid stitch. I am knitting a new hat, love the braid stitch as a rim of the hat.

Spring Chapter I

Warning: there will be a long string of Spring posts. After many months of winter hibernation we are truly enjoying the outdoors. Snow has melted away, well, most of it, and now we are seeing brown pastures very slowly changing to soft green.

Spring time arrived. Our new little addition to the herd is striving and enjoy a free run. It seems like she enjoys the deck. We named her Beannie, I hope to knit a whole bunch of hat from her beautiful chocolate fleece.

REACH Equine Rescue

Last summer we spent a day on a equine rescue ranch. Here is a short preview video, still working on the longer version.
Go to Reach website.
There is a handy Donate button, just in case you are in a generous mood:) All support goes to the care of these beautiful horses who sure deserve a second chance. Thank you.
