I bet your farm is getting really pretty this time of year. And piglets sound like fun.<br /><br />Oh, yes. I hope that you can make it up here soon. It's been a long time since we've seen you! You'll have to come over and see our house. And you can see the little lambs in person. I have one ewe whose udder is really full, so I'm expecting her to lamb any day. I'm so excited. :)<br /><br />We are doing very well. We are very busy planting right now. Jacob is managing our farm this year, since my dad is working in Franklin for a while. So far, so good.<br /><br />Say hello to your family for me!<br /><br />Love,<br />Tricia AnnTricia Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198098961056484983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018621.post-31562786136343202132012-03-15T10:57:10.291-07:002012-03-15T10:57:10.291-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tricia Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198098961056484983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018621.post-54527238258921840162012-03-14T14:46:15.743-07:002012-03-14T14:46:15.743-07:00We're doing excellent, thank you!

We've got the garden going and piglets were born a few days ago, and now we're in the beginning stages of getting everything extra spiffy around Rehoboth Farm, also known as really good Spring-cleaning. ;) <br /><br />We would really like to visit CV soon. We've been meaning to take a trip up for the last couple of months, but we haven't had a chance to. <br /><br />So, how have y'all been? <br /><br />That's wonderful how you can use the wool to sell. And Mo's is going to make some lovely skeins. :) <br /><br />Y'all have a great week!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~LivvyLivvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969468270040152378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018621.post-38085743333936592082012-03-14T13:25:43.137-07:002012-03-14T13:25:43.137-07:00Hi, Livvy!

So, I will probably wash it and then sell it. Maybe next year when our house is finished, we will get a spinning wheel. I think it would be really nice to have yarn from my fleeces!<br /><br />Oh, alpaca fiber is very nice. You'll have to let me know how your yarn turns out.<br /><br />-Tricia AnnTricia Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198098961056484983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018621.post-7277841553184209382012-03-14T07:48:24.527-07:002012-03-14T07:48:24.527-07:00Are you going to spin the wool, Tricia Ann?

I'm planning on cleaning, washing, carding and hopefully spinning it sometime soon. I have yet to get some carders, but I found some I like on ebay that aren't *too* pricy. I also need a spinning wheel, but that might have to wait awhile longer. Those things are really expensive!! :) Spinning one's own fiber (or the neighbor's :P) has always been something I've wanted to do. Such a neat and productive hobby. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~Livvy<br /><br /><i>P.S.
