Pruning the Trees

In addition to building excellent fences. Larry also prunes fruit trees.

We have gone through the orchard and marked the trees that are in the best condition and Larry will prune them hard to invigorate them.

It's going to be a big bon-fire when we finally burn all the branches this spring!

Yarns and More

I'm getting set up on Ravelry as a yarn vender. Over there my username is OogieM and our yarn brand is Desert Weyr. Here are the yarns I currently have in stock.

This is a blend of 50% Black Welsh and 50% Western Fine Wool from a local Delta County flock. It's designed for lace or socks. I have skeins and also have full cones if you want a lot of it.


This medium weight is also a blend but has more Black Welsh in it so is a bit darker. Ideal for comfy sweaters.

Pure bulky Black Welsh for Monmouth caps and other bulky knit items where you don't want to risk having the yarn color bleed out.

I will be getting more yarns in pure Black Welsh spun in 2009.

Our web site sales page has all the yarns on it. I will be editing as I now have more skeins of the solid Black Welsh than is listed there.

New Year Start

Larry came out on New Years Day to deliver the gates for the elk fence. We are storing them out front so they are easy to get at when the snow melts enough to put them on.


Then we had to dig out the wire and get it moved over to the new fenceline. Larry wants to take his tractor home so we moved the wire first.


End of the day, lovely sunset.
