Where does the time go?  It seems like it was just summer and here it is the start of a new year!  Time flew by with summer shows and then Nancy at the New York State Fair as the Superintendent of the Agricultural Museum.  And then being hit by the nasty barber pole worm and losing more old friends in the barn....... and then fall shows and the holidays sneaking up on all of us.

We're looking forward to the birth of lambs in the next few months.  We made the decision last year to not have any, and I think we missed having them and watching their antics as they grow..... we're still using Gonzo, our colored Border Leicester ram, although I think he will need to be retired after this year!  He gives us lambs that have that wonderful kinky curly wool when they are born, and many ewes who retain the curled locks and luster we want.

And we're also working on a list of late winter classes here at the farm.  Once those have been decided, they will be published here on the blog.  And we'll be updating our website over the winter so that on-line ordering will be a reality!
