Knitting my way to good health

Last Thursday I had surgery to remove what we thought was an ovarian cyst.  Turned out to be on the fallopian tube and the tube had twisted therefore explaining the excruciating pain I had been in.  Nevertheless, I found myself with some time on my hands while I recuperate and what better way to mend oneself both physically and spiritually than with a pair of bamboo needles and some nice soft yarn?  I am working on a baby set for my great niece, due to make her appearance into this world at the end of March.  So far I have a hat and sweater done.  And yes, I am feeling pretty good.....

Why a farm?

This is a question I get all the time.  "Why do you have all those animals?"  "Aren't they a lot of work?"  "Don't they cost a lot of money to feed?"  The answers are yes they are a ton of work, yes they are costly to feed but nothing else in my life has ever given me the peace that these wonderful creatures have.  The animal friends in my life have taught me to live in the moment, to not worry about things you can't control.  They can just be.  We started our little farm with two lambs.  Twins.  Daisy and Bailey.  They came to us at four weeks of age, saved from being Easter dinner.  They were bottle fed and a handful.  They didn't really trust people and even though we were their source of food it took a long time for them to come around.  Now they eagerly greet you by the fence hoping you have a cookie or two.  And of course....I always do....

Monday, February 27th

Welcome to my little slice of farm life!  I've toyed with the idea of a blog for a while.  People are always asking me if I have one and when I would say no they would say "Oh you really should"  So...I decided to give it a try.  I want this to be a spot where you can get away from a hectic day.  Come spend some time with the sheep and goats!
I'll be posting knitting projects and recipes as well.

Have a great day everyone!
