This year, for the first time since we planted our fig tree, we have achieved fresh ripe figs!
And they are so beautiful!
I think I’m going to have to make a hat in a “green skinned fig” colorway 🙂
The garden is a bit of a mess due to chicken antics, and I’ve let the weeds get away from me, but things are still growing like crazy.
Zuchinnis in particular.
Thankfully, both sheep and chickens seem to enjoy them!
The hay is here!
Lovely 2nd cut local grass hay, stacked in the sheep shed.
And that makes me so happy 🙂
of course, the chickens think it is for them (think jungle gym)
Crazy chickens.
Oh- also wanted to mention that I’m planning to participate in the Bow Little Market Fiber Day on August 18.
I’m a little better organized this year, and even have a sign!
Should be lots of fun. I’ll have hats, yarn, and fiber- and a bit of a knitalong thing going!
So if you’re in the area, please stop by and say hi, and maybe knit a few rows-
When life gives you yarn leftovers,
Just add KoolAid! (and/or other food dye)
And BAM!
Now you’ve got something splashy to play with!
Those fun and fruity leftovers, plus a little bit of peachy orange from a previous dyeing adventure, came together as a big floppy hat
Which then spent some time in the washer and dyer, and resulted in
As the Kool Aid Man would say,,,,”Oh Yeah!”
