We have been working on the property trying to ready it for spring. The roof on the old barn is going to be repaired first , then the bridge and then the new barn. Big projects, I know it will be better than what we have for the goat now. I did get Zeke and Ricco shered, so much better than last year when I did it myself. It took three day, was very hard on my hands and the worse part is I could not use the fiber I had cut. This year I sent the fiber out to be processed to yarn. I am very excited to see what it looks like. I have so many projects on my list of things I want to do. I am going to make it a goal to take one a month and finish it. We will see how that goes lol's. The torch has been running most days. I did get my generator back from being repaired, so I can now set up the new torch that will be much better for doing Boro. The minor will be still be my main torch to work soft glass though.
My friend Mary has opened an Etsy store. This women is doing wonderful things with found objects, check her out http://greenwomandesign.blogspot.com/
I harvested my gourds from last year and I have alot of different ones to work with. I am making that one of the first things I work on :)
Tyler and Ashley have decided to hold off on getting married for a while. They are still together and taking it very slow.
The new chicken coop is coming along, we are taking an old camper and gutting it. I am going to paint the outside when it is done. Look for pictures of this project :) The baby chicks will be here the beginning of June.
Willow is wonderful and loves being outside with the animals. It is great to have her with me when I work, I never had that option before. She has a room right next to mine to play in.
Here is a picture of her, see how big she is getting.

Spring is finally here, we have been busy getting the garden and the property cleaned up. I will post more on what has been going on here later this week. More importantly I would like everyone to send out healing energy for my friend Dave. He has been battling brain cancer for a while now. He had his forth surgery at the beginning of April and is being released from the hospital this Friday. He is a fighter and a wonderful person. Here is Skye's blog with the whole story http://dreamsofawildflower.blogspot.com/ I love these guys !
