Boston Bound – Dyed In The Wool

Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. I'm giving a presentation "Dyed in the Wool: The Colors of a New England Sheep Farm" to the  Boston Area Spinners and Dyers (BASD). This group meets in Sudbury, but their membership draws from the greater Boston area – my old stomping grounds.

When I booked this presentation many months ago, I wasn't thinking clearly about the timing of our first lambs. This afternoon Andy reminded me that tomorrow is D-day if any ewes were bred the moment Teaberry set foot in the pen last October. Holly and Mike will be on call and I'll be back to the farm as soon as my talk is done. My iphone will be charged and waiting, just in case.

Watching sheep on t.v. as I type. Listening on the monitor as twenty cudchewers settle down for the evening. If you didn't know what you were listening to, you'd think there were twenty drum majorettes marching in the barn. 

As soon as there's action, I'll let you know – will do a quick post here and on Twitter (Sheepgal). Better get some rest, will need it tomorrow. Stay tuned.
