Tea and Cookies??

Tea and cookies, Aunt Donna??

Hog Island Ram

We visited our friends at the Fingerlakes Fiber mill, here is their beautiful Hog Island Ram.

New project gypsy cart

four little gypseys jumping on the cart, we thought it would never happen, but here it is started and it looks GOOD.

Unloading the new bee box

Samuel has been wishing to keep bees for many years. (He is 10), anyway his wish is coming true, our neighbor is mentoring him in his new ambitions. We are researching how to keep them organically, and I think it will Not be as impossible as some say. Soon our son will be "self sufficiant," (and by the way, bee keeping equipment and books are his Christmas list...)

Bugs Eye View

Check out this awesome caterpillar, he looked very dangerous, but turned out to be some sort of frittary?? Or something like that, anyway he sounds like a harmless bug now. ( I was the only one not afraid of him)

Homespun

*We are excited to be getting ready for our handwork nights at our farm.

We gather together with friends and eat and make wonderful things, in the chilly fall evenings when you cannot work in your garden, or mow, or swim, and it gets very cozy here.
