Tour de Fleece is the mad dash of the spinning world- a three week frenzy of spinning wool into yarn preceded by a long build up period where people join virtual teams and set goals.

And he is a handsome ram lamb. We also traded for a unique ram lamb with a fellow Romney breeder. He has colorful markings which we hope he will eventually pass onto his progeny.

Holiday Market was spectacular! There were gifts galore and wonderful stocking stuffers mostly made by hand from area artisans. Both soft and hard goods could be had ranging from delicate knits to hand forged iron. It was a delight to watch folks go from browsing to buying. Jerill Vance of Jerill Vance Woodworks.

Where we could, on occasion, be snowed in for a day or two. Finally, I have been quite intermittent in recent months with my blog. I started it back in 2005.
