A Fresh Start

March 5th.

Seems like a good day to begin again. February 16th was actually the new beginning.. or - wait - maybe it was actually January 27th. That's the day that Suzy and Matt arrived for the first time.
Suzy and Matt are my apprentices. They're seniors at Cornell University, here in Ithaca. The have made this brutal February so much fun. We put out hay together and trim hooves. We dye yarn and soon - work on assembling the 8 harness loom.

AND, on Feb 16 - Violet, my gorgeous new-to-me nanny, had twin girls, Cuddles and Puddles. Anyway, between Suzy/Matt and the baby goats things are starting to really get rolling. Of course that kind of ups the number of farm related tasks that need doing.

For instance:
1. I need to update my weblog regularly.
2. I need to post more yarn on my Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6919023
3. Trim everyone's hooves! Yes, all of them.
4. Trim hind ends of the nannies before they kid.
5. Get the kidding pens ready.
6. Finish the plans for Farm Tours and Events.
...
You've probably got the idea by now.
