The improvements are “incredible”!
I know you & Shimon have been working your butts off. Time to take a vacation and come see us.
Very well done Tweet. You guys are something else.
LOVEYA BOTH

What a transformation! You two are an inspiration. Are you going to enlist the sheep to help you keep some of that beautiful grass mowed when you get them!

Thanks to all for the kind remarks. There are other areas I wish I’d taken photos of earlier (for comparison purposes),, but to be honest, I didn’t really want to record it at the time (too scary/icky). Still a ways to go in certain places, but the changes we’ve been able to make so far sure are rewarding!

really enjoyed visiting your blog! Loved seeing your sheep and beautiful projects
Especially enjoyed your before and after pics.. farming and shepherding is a lot of work, but the sheep sure add to the appearance of property, don’t they? (with a lot of elbow grease from the shepherds as well!)

Thanks- yep, I really enjoy watching the boys out there grazing in the pasture. It took us a while to get to this point, but it’s really satisfying having brought this place back from the craziness that it once was.

Here in Vermont, I could very much relate to your blog. This is something that does not happen often.
While I do not knit or spin, I dye fiber from plants I grow and gather.
Looking to fix up our “new” old home for sheep and shop.
AND I will try quince paste next year. This year quince liqueur and preserves.
Great blog. Neat, clean, simple, loving.
thank you from Vermont!

Oooh- quince liqueur sounds wonderful- I have only dabbled in dying so far. Would like to try using materials from the yard, but haven’t gotten far with putting in a dye garden yet! Thanks for visiting the blog.
