Moving out to our little farm meant we could finally have our goats! and chickens… and - well, at some point - a yak and llama :) So we researched, asked, networked - and found Bridget & Oliver, two of the most adorable little Nigerian Dwarf goats ever! We picked them up and never put them down! They’re still so tiny at just about 3 months of age, but they have already taught us a lot about our new found farm life! With them came a small flock of chicken - my husband insisted we have egg layers - so 16 baby chicks later, we have 2-3 month old chicks who are adjusting to a new coop. Never thought I’d love a chicken like I love my dogs , or goats, but I do! They’re adorable, they all have personalities! I want to knit them something for the winter! little caps and ponchos maybe?!!! Hey - I’ve seen Pintrest! These things exist!!! :)
So our small farm is getting more “farmy” - we even were gifted a 1950s Ford tractor to ride around on once we got here! (My husband is on it A LOT!) I plan on spinning from my MachIII all over the place - once the bugs die down somewhat! UGH ! SO many bugs! Spinning outside is one of my favorite things to do - feel the grass under my feet (and yes, a mat under my wheel), fresh air, birds … It’s mindful and keeps me so present. In the snow - well, windows are a good option. I highly recommend getting outside and spinning - and knitting. Get outside - on your deck, porch, front stoop - start spinning, knitting, crocheting - feel good and enjoy!
