After Friday's 'riot of color' post, this is a reminder that white, gray, black and brown are colors, too. 😉
These are (mostly) the four cross-bred chickens we got from the neighbors who moved away last year. Puff, the Crevecoeur cross whose face always looks dirty, went broody for a bit so everyone else had to work around her.

My August-spun and plied yarn (dark gray Zwartbles, light gray and white Harsil):
'Baa baa black sheep' – my three pretty black ewe lambs (plus Blaise) after coat changes:

After a grungy spell that smelled of smoke, our atmosphere has mostly cleared again:

Rick's two-week stint as the State Fair veterinarian started today. (The Fair doesn't open to the public until Friday, but the 4-Hers arrive tomorrow and he had to oversee the barns' preparations.) It's going to be a hectic couple of weeks, but there should be some fun in there as well.
That's it for now from . . .

As much as I love color, I love the muted palettes too. There's something so calm and pleasing about these colors, especially when they're found all around us.
I have to admit that the brown tones in flora don't please me as much as green, but on animals and birds, even brown is pleasing, Leigh!
Oh, I love when you go to the fair!! I'm looking forward to those photos :-) Those black fleeces are looking delightfully crimpy!
I look forward to your state fair every year :-D
Ashes is a beautiful hen! I've thought that before when you pictured her.
All of your photos are really nice. Good job!
When do you plan to go to the fair? It's been a long time since we went. I always enjoyed it.
beautiful fleeces, Michelle. love those dark wools! glad your air is clearing. still pretty hazy here, but hopefully we're through the worst of it (fingers crossed)
