Since Tia Sari is home, she is teaching me the ins and outs of Facebook, and I am going along kicking and screaming. (Oh no, another time suck)!
I really test her patience with my stupid questions trying to learn the difference between a fan, a favorite, a follower, until i use the other f-word out of my frustration!
She says the more I use it, the more it will make sense. (Am I just the wrong generation or something? I don't even have a cell phone, or a TV. Do I really need this)???

The girls came over Sunday. Aimee loves a pony ride.
Frida and Aimee love to feed George timothy through the fence.
I've been kind of worried about Georgie. If you've been reading along, back in the Spring when we sheared, Georgie had his hooves trimmed. There was a little blood when he was trimmed. Not a lot. But he was very sore and limped for about a week after.
I was going back through my photos, and I found a picture before he was trimmed.
This is what his hooves look like now:
Are they supposed to be all white? None of the other sheep hooves look like this. He seems to be walking okay. No sign of a limp. This just doesn't look right to me.
In the garden, the flax is ready!
When I returned from Costa Rica, I went to check out my dye garden. I mean my weed garden. Oh my gosh! How a little plot of dirt can get so carried away and go bad so quickly! I was a bit distracted with all the doctor's appointments, surgery, PT, etc. and didn't make the garden a priority. I walked in, took a look around, was so overwhelmed, I walked right back out!
But on Sunday, I made myself go in. Maybe there is something here that can be salvaged. Most of the flax has blossomed. The stalks have turned yellow green. I think they are ready to pull! So this week, in between getting ready for farm to yarn camp, going to help a blind lady with her weaving (5 hour round-trip drive), preparing fall classes, and family coming to visit, I will be pulling flax!
I made a Journey Loom to take a "test drive" with before camp starts. Oh, it felt so good to get my hands on some fiber, even if it was just putting on a warp. When I get grumpy, I need to remember this! Fiber: the balm for my soul!
I'm also playing with finger crocheting roving to make a small floor rug, which will be felted, a mini-version of this under some farm picked peaches:
Tia Sari is spoiling us with her fabuluous cooking now that she is up and around and off the crutches. She can make summer taste so good!
Enjoy all your tastes of this season,
Abu
I have a blog, email and a cell phone. Call me out of touch, but I see no point in signing up for a billboard, I mean, Facebook! I'll spend that time spinning, thank-you!
