LET US SEE IF THIS WORKS

I found a blogger app. Apparently there is an app for everything. Things have slowed down a bit so I am giving it a go round. 

This nest was in an oak tree next to the buck pen .  I watched as a flock of sparrows busy at work in early spring and by end of summer this nest of dried hay, goat hair, chicken feathers and a few tiny pieces of baling twine gave many Mama's a place to lay eggs and hatch out the young ones.Some fairly strong winds and it landed on the ground below and outside the pen. I packaged it up gently and took it with me last night to fiber night at  the Shed . Judy took it home to her hubby and fellow artist Stan to sketch.  

This is a black bear. They are large and fluffy they can be aggressive towards humans. I was driving through the forested area on my way to the Shed last night just before sundown. I always say  whine to Janet fellow fiber addict that I always see deer , turkeys, skunks but never anything exciting. Such as a cougar or bear.  I was almost to Whitmore road and spied a rock on the shoulder of the road on the right hand side. As I got closer I realized it wasn't a rock but a very large black bear. He was very intent on something on the opposite side of the road.  So much so he was almost leaning over to the point of falling onto the road. I figured that whatever was demanding his attention must have been in the cover of the brush as I didn't see anything. When I was almost upon him he was so surprised he gave me a frantic look and turned hitting the ground running. Seeing this bug guy fly back into the under brush at high speed I got a good idea of why humans can end up as "good eats" ! 

Sarah finished her very first weaving project a kitchen rug. We are very proud of Sarah and expect her to go far in her journey with fiber. 

This was taken a few weeks back while a work in progress aka WIP in fiber circles. 

Well now that I have found a way to add photos back to the blog I will as time allows get a couple more blog entries up to share. Check back often and see what we are up to at Walnetto Farm.
