All is right with my world

Kind of a big statement, but that's the way it feels today. The sun is shining, I'm seeing hints of green coming up, and I got to do a little dyeing yesterday. All of that really lifts my spirits. I've been grouching around here for several weeks because of a respiratory infection I just couldn't seem to shake. That and the cold, gloomy weather has had me feeling as though spring was never going to show up this year. But, thankfully, it seems to be in the air today and it has made a world of difference in my attitude. That picture above doesn't have much to do with anything, but it does make me happy to see this little family hanging out together and enjoying the sunshine.

I left this roving in the dye pot to cool overnight and couldn't wait to hang it out to dry this morning. Before I even finished draping it on the line, some of my honey bees showed up!. I guess they were hoping it was a big bunch of flowers blooming. They're as desperate for color right now as I am!

I'm starting to feel just a tiny bit of panic about getting everything done before the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival in May. The time is fast approaching and I haven't even begun to get myself ready. I am so excited about this event. Though this is our very first year, I think we are putting together a really nice festival and I hope everyone in the area will come out and support it. We need volunteers for lots of different things, so it would be great to have anyone interested signing up on the website.

And just one more gratuitous llama shot. Huckleberry just loves being with his big sister and I think she tolerates him very well. (She wouldn't want anyone to know it, but she occasionally forgets what a big girl she is now and actually plays with him!)
