Warm day and fibers dyeing away!  Looking forward to seeing friends old and new at MD Sheep and Wool Festival very soon - a little over 2 weeks away.

Pip, my sweet, blind, old lady goat, has shed all of her "fluff" - she looks so different!  She has gone from a beige colored fluff ball to her dark brown sleek hair coat for the summer.  It looks like it would grade out to cashgora, and I can't wait to have enough time to get my hands on it to spin and maybe blend with a little wool.  And she is my goat who answered the question "can goats swim??"  The answer is a resounding yes!

Still about a dozen sheep to shear, but the dyes are calling with this glorious sun to make them seem intense and bold.
