The NAME GAME

That's right folks we have two little guys who will be needing names and that is where you come in. The rules are like before:

We are looking for something that has to do with "Mother Goose" (Her kids from last year I named Hansel and Gretal) - get the idea?
We are looking for names for boys

You can enter as many times as you wish
You need to tell me if the name is for the white one or black and white one.

I will close the contest on April 14th at 8:00 pm Mountain Standard Time

The winner will be announced on the 16th.
There will be a separate prize for each boy so that means two separate winners.

Good luck to everyone and thanks for helping this tired farmgal...
I promise pictures very soon. They are just so huggable.

WE HAVE BABIES !!!

I know you thought I was making it all up !

You thought "Mother Goose" was just fat !

Maybe I was getting a little soft in the head !

After dragging myself out to the barn several times in the night over the past two months what did I find in the pen this morning as the snow was blowing again? Two of the sweetest little one's shivering and trying to figure out how to nurse. The first is a completely pure white boy that is shy and gentle. He softly talks as I check him over. The second is also a boy but with pure white and pure black. He is wearing a black mask, black streak down half his back and black on the tummy and inside of his legs. This guy is anything but quite. I can not wait to get a picture of him up because this is a first for the farm on this color combination. The are strong and doing well but Mother Goose is very protective so no handling, kissing or hugging for now.

Let's all do the "HAPPY DANCE"

Spring has Sprung at the Funny Farm

Winter has come back to the farm for a while but thru my dye pots I have created a spring garden. As you can see "Heirloom Tomatoes" are growing strong at the Funny Farm. I have many more offerings coming soon and each one more mouth watering then the last. I have also been setting up a storefront on ArtFire.com. I am slow to get items on this site only because I am having to learn a new system and you know me, computers and I are not the best mix. I also have been working on new blends of fiber for those of you who have been requesting more playtime materials. This is the time I could really use about six more hands and 20 more hours in the day. Any takers???

What do you do in the Middle of a BLIZZARD ??

Yes, our rain dance went overboard and instead of rain I was sitting with a white out Blizzard on my hands. Thursday was just typical Colorado weather - we went from 70 degrees on the weekend to now drifts of 5 feet high to dig out of...

While the snow was howling I watched my favorite blizzard movies while working away in the house. I admit it, I have a silly or sick routine which has started from the first blizzard that trapped the boys and I on the farm that first year we lived here and I have continued it every year since. It goes like this:

First, Misery - a great Stephen King
Second, Storm of the Century - one of those Stephen King's stories that folks forget about but well worth the time to watch
Third, The Thing (the original and the remake) Have you eaten you vegies today? Or maybe they are coming to eat us!
Last but not least, The Shining - one of the best movies out there!! Makes you rethink becoming a writer.

Are we seeing a pattern here???

Yes, I know - SICK, SICK, SICK I am but what else can you do as the inches turn into feet and the feet turn into something that will send my back into locking up. Still all and all WE NEED THE MOISTURE - I keep saying to myself with ever shovel full I toss. Then I gaze at the shovel - dark thoughts roll over me - then I snap too and think maybe a Disney movie for a change of pace - Who am I kidding? - Horror Movies are my guilty pleasure. Great way to stay warm and keep that blood pumping
