Yes....I am still alive

Sometimes we just get ourselves involved in too many activites
and we just tucker out.
....that has been me these last several months, with 
no blog activity many were beginning to think that I 
dropped off the face of the earth.

Well I didn't!!  I'm still here.
Quick update, since my last post, we've had no lambs....just a ewe
or two that do not have the best conformations that have started
to mature and tend to have a potbelly look.
 Not the most appealing and not a conformation that I want
inherited in my sheep's genetics.
I will be weeding out these undesirables.....

More recently...

Today was our regular monthly Guild meeting.
A great group of people who share interests.
Much going on at this months meeting.
Above, some spinning and having conversation.

Some hand quilting on a quilt to be hung in the Historic
McCook House, an extension of our Guilds members 
through the Carroll Co Historical Society.
Many of our Members are very involved in our 
Algonquin Mill Complex and all the "sister" groups.

In the dinning hall some hand work and good conversations going on.

 Another shot of the one room school house were we hold our monthly 
meeting.  Located at the Mill Complex.
And finally, a shot of the girls who know that I am now home 
and expect me to be coming out to give them some hay.
Our weather has warmed up a bit and will continue into this
next week.
The end of another year is coming fast, which give my cause to 
look back and review all the craziness that I have going on 
and re-evaluate.  What I have going on...
were I've been, what I'm doing and were I'm going.

As I set my goals for 2018 during the remainder of this year
I hope everyone enjoys their holidays with friends 
and family.

Merry Christmas
and 
Happy New Year!!!
