On my mark, getting set....

This was the forecast this morning. Just LOOK at that long stretch of dry, even sunny weather! That means no excuses to collect fleece samples and start shearing. I want to start with the three younger preggie girls (Blaise doesn't have much wool and needs the insulation) but I already have two black hogget fleeces reserved – which is good, because I'll have five of them. It should also help the grass grow, and perk up the primroses I planted in a pot out front:

In the meantime, there's been some excitement in the bonus room. Yes, I took 'before' photos, but I'm going to wait to share them until there's more visible progress. In other words, the room is still a disaster . . . except for one little bit of organizational heaven. Remember my dream of an antique spool cabinet? After doing a little searching locally (nothing), I turned to the internet, specifically Facebook Marketplace. There I found one a little plainer than I had imagined, but I could afford it and it was within easy driving distance of my agility class, so I picked it up last Thursday night.

From its landing on the cluttered antique table that belonged to my maternal grandmother, to its gainful employment as wire-wrapping supplies and spindle storage:

It's perfect and I love it!

That's it for now from . . .
