Do sheep feet get affected by standing around in damp undergrowth?

It looks pretty pathetic but still produces tasty leaves!<br /><br />I've never noticed my sheep digging by the water bucket. I wonder what that's all about.

Natural dyes take a lot of time from what I've read, as well as toxic mordants for some of them that I'm not comfortable using. The wee bit of dying I've done has been with Kool-Aid -- cheap, easy and safe!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-74946175189470124972011-01-14T11:20:31.723-08:002011-01-14T11:20:31.723-08:00I think you really need to try gathering some of t...I think you really need to try gathering some of that gorgeous moss and those wonderful lichen...and try your hand at some natural dyes for all that wool you're so fond of spinning!!!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.com
